It looks like if Oregon leaves the Pac 12 then the conference collapses. With that possibility, Arizona, Arizona st, Utah, and Colorado are exploring a mobe to the big 12... I think that could work with 4 divisions: West Arizona Arizona State BYU Utah North Kansas Kansas State Oklahoma State Colorado South Baylor TCU Houston Texas Tech East UCF Iowa State Cincinnati West Virginia They could do 3 in division games per year alternating home/away. Then you play one of the other divisions every 3 years. That gives you 7 games. Then do what the NFL would do and add 2 competitive balance games where you play the teams finished in the same spot in the 2 divisions you don't play that year. That gives you 9 games with 3 non conference left over.... Lots of potential rivalries: Baylor/TCU Arizona/Arizona st Kansas/Kansas st BYU/Utah I think it adds to the basketball side and further solidifies football...
Could work. Apparebtly most if the ACC is bolting to the Big 10 and SEC as well. Probably FSU/Clemson to SEC and the U to Big 10.
Were obviously in the super conference era. I don't mind that at all but I would really have liked to have seen a expansion that kept the current power 5 and saw them all expand to 16 teams keeping the geography and history of these conferences in tact. This would have included moving teams like Rutgers, Nebraska, West Virginia, Colorado, Missouri and South Carolina (might be forgetting a couple) to there more traditional conferences while adding the two bigger independents (Notre Dame and BYU) and adding the best of the the remaining non power 5 clubs (Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, SMU, UCF, UAB, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Appalachian State, Costal Carolina and Louisiana).
