We need a conference to step up to the plate, and embrace it. Maybe if this

goes to 3 power conferences, and the 3rd conference stretches to 24 or more schools - it would be time to seriously consider that move. The P2 got their contracts because they have the blue bloods. Maybe a European soccer type of model could be instituted that would allow schools to move up or down the scale by performance - after all, currently, the B12 has no program that stands above the others. If the ACC implodes, they would be in the same boat.

Yes - and it wasn't nearly enough to keep the top teams from coveting
Big12 guy • 02/21/24 08:21 AM ET
The ACC doesn’t have enough large public schools to generate the numbers.
Stech • 02/21/24 09:06 AM ET
Untenable solution......

MrBayAreaHokie • 02/20/24 05:11 PM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 02/20/24 06:01 PM ET

Relegation and promotion will never happen in American college athletics

And therein lies the problem. By definition, anti-competitive.

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.
Maroon Baboon • 02/20/24 03:36 PM ET
I think that ship has already sailed**

Uneven revenue divide has negative impacts....
