Never liked the idea of relegation and promotion. Either you are in the

league/conference or not. There is a reason the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL don't do it. I get the idea of motivating those at the bottom to work harder. But don't like the idea of conference membership changing every year. And every conference needs a Vanderbilt or two that don't mind absorbing the losses. ** Edited by wwhokie1 at 5/25/2024, 11:02:04 PM

The top end teams would likely make even more money.

Well it is arbitrary except for one objective fact
