Does 40% of the cable market = 40% of the revenue? I want to see the year 3 ratings for RU-Purdue, or Ill-MD before I believe that those TV sets are brininging in the eyeballs everyone wants. In the hypothetical 20 team league, who will watch Vandy/NW or UVA/Ill? How many years before teams play the marquee teams in the conference? Or do you split traditional marquee games and save that match up for the hoped for championship game?

If the P5 world ultimately becomes 4 20 school conferences (because if 1 goes to 20 then 3 other go there also with 1 ceasing to exist and 15 schools added to the mix), then you get an 8 team playoff and do away with the conference championship in FB with each winner of the 8 divisions being in the playoff pool. And then is it really 4 conferences or is it 8 leagues and the pecking order of the 8 will once again be defined by perception. And the value of the divisions becomes fodder for debate and ultimately dissolution into 8 conferences with regional identities because at the end of the day, the viewing world cares about Bama/Auburn, USC/UCLA, OSU/Michugan, etc.
