I would contend.......

that a conference going by the wayside really ceases to be a conference long before its final demise. We saw it with the Big East, then with the PAC 12 and standing at least in the on deck circle, if not the batter's box, now appears to be the ACC. I give you grief for the Big 12 but, in one way, I now believe that conference is stronger. Everyone in that conference, so far, has now unified behind a common goal.

Yes - and it wasn't nearly enough to keep the top teams from coveting

The ACC doesn’t have enough large public schools to generate the numbers.

Untenable solution......

Relegation and promotion will never happen in American college athletics
tarheelblue 02/21/24 05:57 PM ET
And therein lies the problem. By definition, anti-competitive.
Maroon Baboon 02/21/24 10:52 PM ET
We need a conference to step up to the plate, and embrace it. Maybe if this

Whether FSU leaves, or not - it's a good idea. **
Big12 guy 02/20/24 03:46 PM ET
Anything that brings more merit I would support.
