thread for frivolous realignment schemes

There is absolutely no incentive for the AAC to expand in football unless our media partner demands it.
I always loved football onlies and BB onlies
If kept on a limited basis
The Navy add was great and may of saved the league and many thought it would never happen.
The ECU BB add ( all sports) was stupid and unnecessary but it’s a done deal
If your going to add two football onlies
I would take Army who seems to want to get back into the big time and Air Force
Those games as league games enhance the attraction of the league. Unless you can get BYU
Add VCU or Dayton as B.B. onlies .
From a market Prospective the DMV area is an AAC wasteland
Dayton has a Cult following that Cinncy might not be happy about.

Who would Air Force use at travel partners? Our Texas schools are are southeast Texas and Tulsa isn't really too much closer to Colorado Springs. I think adding Air Force would require bringing in another west coast school....had TCU, Boise State, and BYU not backed out at the beginning I am sure wooing Air Force would have been easier.

non-media partner driven reasons to expand:
1) add security to the conference.
2) improve regional rivalries, and therefore the long-term conference interest and value.
3) decrease travel costs and wear and tear on the student athletes. reduce the worst travel through a limited cross division schedule, yet keep the opportunity for the best playing the best in a CCG.

got very bored at work today and rez'ing my own thread
 
Or per Rothsteins tweet, If I'm Temple especially or maybe even Navy (with some of the C-USA leftovers) , it's time to get out & lobby for a new East coast FB only conference with say:

Temple, Navy (AAC)
UConn, Army, Liberty, UMass (Indy)
Buffalo (MAC),
Coastal Carolina, Marshall, Old Dominion (C-USA).

With it every man for themselves in terms of hoops, etc.

Thanks but I'll pass on that - we still do better as an independent.

But I agree the Indy schedule for Uconn is alot more interesting even though half those schools are part of it.

Agreed - Temple has to get out or risk seeing all of their programs shrivel up. Everyone is lobbying all the time - just like how everyone is honing their resume everyday in their work life.
 
Blow everything up and start an east coast league comprised of state schools (or state-related in the cases of PSU & Pitt). Wouldn't care if it's divided into divisions or other so long as the most proximate schools definitely play each other every year.

I’m not sure how frivolous this is but I wouldn’t mind seeing a situation where Temple goes Indy in football (BE?) and we adopt a strength in numbers tactic of a scheduling and negotiating alliance with them and UMass and pitching the three (or four, with Army if they’d be interested) as a package deal to a conference for a few games with a lot of eyes on for northeastern markets.

Wouldn’t have to be a big conference - MAC or Sun Belt even. I figure they’d play three or four against our alliance per year, again depending on how many members we are. Our annual schedule would look like

2-3 games against alliance members (depending on if Army is included)
4 games against conference partners
1 FCS game
4-5 games open, not all have to be body bag games but a few should for CBS TV purposes

Temple is in a pretty tough spot and should consider going the UCONN-Indy route. Problem is the Atlantic 10 already has 14 basketball schools and the Big East isn't an option.
 
another one. In this scenario the dreaded mega-league forms with a national footprint becoming, basically, a quasi-pro league, and the rest of the schools scramble to establish durable 14 member regional conferences to protect their markets, form local TV deals/networks, etc. I used football valuation only from 2018 for the numbers below as I think that's the metric driving realignment. I think in this scenario the AACA thing could hold NCAA at gunpoint and demand 4 autobids in a 16 team CFB playoff with each of the "billion dollar five" getting one autobid and then the remaining 7 going at large with a handshake agreement that at least one will come from the "hundred million dollar three".

Straight forward idea with basketball focus - Big East manages to land Kansas with the provision that it will help arrange a stable football situation for it in order to induce it to join. UConn and Kansas join MAC as football only in exchange for a few MAC-BE games on the schedule

Kansas just beat Texas yesterday and they have a terrific coach in Leipold. There is a better chance of Kansas becoming the dominant football team in the B12 than there is of them shipping their basketball team to the Big East.
 
more of an observation than a scheme, but the online college realignment simulator yields an interesting map; namely, that the Sun Belt and American apparently have the exact same geographical center. it sort of illustrates just how out of place Temple/Navy are in the new version of the American and how big of a bullet we dodged

Omg are you kidding me?
 
Would be cool to see the PAC add Hawaii as football only and Gonzaga for all other sports.

That would give the PAC extra FB games for teams playing @Hawaii and come as close as possible to replacing UCLA BB
