Ideal for College Football
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 05:18 PM ET
Like it! Note that Tennessee is not part of Deep South
tk225 • 07/30/22 09:17 PM ET
Are you kidding me? .....It makes too much sense to happen.**
DeputyD • 07/29/22 09:21 AM ET
I actually do feel the B1G, SEC, ESPN, and Fox are gonna make things happen
BBBDatVT • 07/29/22 10:23 AM ET
They don't see anything past "more money now"! They are all arrogant enough
wwhokie1 • 07/29/22 03:06 PM ET
I don’t know about all this realignment business, but your SEC East
GoJosieBen • 07/28/22 09:49 PM ET
Interesting. Arizona State should be in that group....
Old Line Hokie • 07/28/22 07:16 PM ET
i think the drawing board comes out and B1G, SEC, ESPN, and Fox go to work.
BBBDatVT • 07/29/22 10:29 AM ET
And Louisville and BYU

Vegas is a nice market to get into. Louisville is a corrupt commuter colleg

The ideal for college football is relegation and promotion system

Teams that reload, succeed. Those that are a flash in the pan, don't.**
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:32 PM ET
How do you know they've reloaded before the next season starts. Relegation
133743Hokie • 07/28/22 08:08 PM ET
You don't know until they play. Those at the bottom are relegated for the
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 10:30 PM ET
So, we're back to Ground Zero. Only a handful of teams compete.
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:36 PM ET
What makes you think VT is entitled to be in the Top Tier every year?
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:42 PM ET
Well, the EPL is almost cast system. Promotion does very little to change
BNOMO • 07/28/22 06:52 PM ET
Fair points. But IMO, R-P gives longstanding teams the chance to compete
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 07:22 PM ET
The problem with using Leicester City as the example is the Foxes are
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/22 10:10 PM ET
There would need to be rules on transfers.
Maroon Baboon • 07/29/22 02:50 AM ET
It is probably too late to try to implement rules now that the horse has
VTHokie2000 • 07/29/22 09:33 PM ET
VT is certainly a top 40 producer. That's why.
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:45 PM ET
The Top Tier of a R-P system wouldn't be 40 teams. Much less.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:59 PM ET
Yep. You're hardly dealing with the same teams from year to year in college**
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:29 PM ET
There's a ton of turnover on a professional roster over a four year span.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:34 PM ET
Not 100% though. Its undoable due to the nature and makeup of college trams
133743Hokie • 07/28/22 08:15 PM ET
So Cincy would be up for one year, then down the next. No big deal.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 10:57 PM ET
So Cincy moves up after playing in the playoffs. So now they field a
133743Hokie • 07/29/22 08:43 AM ET
So Cincinnati will have no one returning?
Maroon Baboon • 07/29/22 09:14 AM ET
not as much as College fball and bball. They're unique in that way. **
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:43 PM ET
That ain't happening in bigtime American sports. Even MLS hasn't adopted it**
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 05:51 PM ET
Neither is your graphic. But since you brought up the MLS
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:01 PM ET
The number of clubs is not the reason MLS doesn't participate in promotion/
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/22 10:18 PM ET
MLS actually has a two tiered set of developmental leagues
Marooned • 07/28/22 06:30 PM ET
If it evolves into a legit R-P system, that would be great.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 07:03 PM ET
I think there's a very good chance something similar to my graphic works.
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:24 PM ET
I never said R-P would be adopted. But if the SEC is REALLY about
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 06:31 PM ET
If it hasn't happened already, the B1G and SEC are gonna work together.
BBBDatVT • 07/28/22 06:42 PM ET
You think way too highly of SEC and B1G leadership.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/22 07:07 PM ET
They gotta keep college sports relevant in major parts of the country.
BBBDatVT • 07/29/22 02:31 AM ET
I have followed conference realignment since the Metro days in the 70's..
DrHokie • 07/28/22 09:44 PM ET
I agree. I reject "Academics" and "Home" as reasons for staying in the ACC.
