One of my better or worse conference makeup ideas to share the pain

[NEforceUConn]

Wouldn't it be great if one random team from each P5 conference had to switch places with UConn, Cincy, South Florida, Boise, and Temple for a year. Let their fanbase experience what we go thru everyday. For example for 2014/2015:

UConn to the B1G and Illinois to the AAC
Cincy to the Big 12 and Oklahoma State to the AAC
South Florida to the SEC and Tennessee to the AAC
Boise to the PAC and UCLA the Mountain West
Temple to ACC and UNC to the AAC

Let those fans experience depression. Then in 2015/2016 rotate 5 new schools.

Won't work. While the American's overall academic standard may be lacking in comparison to the Ivy League, the conference does have the nerve to require student athletes to take real classes. That rules out UNC making a switch.

We should also let UConn rotate into the Ivy League periodically, just for academic bragging rights.

What a great idea! Warde should propose it at the next NCAA AD meeting. The P5 commissioners and AD's would probably all second the motion and fall all over each other to be the first to volunteer for the switch. They could then all sign Over the Rainbow together as they passed a resolution calling for an even split of all conference revenue among all NCAA member schools.
