Exactly.  To the consumers, we want 4 or 8 regionally based divisions that include rivals.  We would like for the D4 to include 80 or so teams so everyone has a chance to compete for NC.  And to the consumer it just makes too much sense that we forget to look at reality.  It's not just about the P5 trying to split from the G5.  Reality in college sports is that each conference and school is only looking out for what is best for itself.  The B1G does not care any more about the ACC or B12 or SEC or Pac12 than it does the AAC or MWC or even DII and DIII schools.  Therefore, the B1G and other conferences are not going to pick an arbitrary number of teams that each conference will have and then fill the league with teams that do not increase revenue or exposure or brand.  I think it is much more likely that we continue on the current path (with or without D4) and P5 conferences will add teams such as Uconn, Cincy, USF, UCF, etc as the leagues look to expand.
