Nebraska AD Trev Alberts on future changes
Nebraska AD Trev Alberts tells @Amie_Just there will be more expansion. “History is unkind to conferences that have not had the courage to expand. I don’t believe it’s done. It’s never been done. It’s more likely than not that there will be continued periods of angst. I believe that the next go-around - that’s my basic conclusion - will be far more disruptive than anything we’re currently engaged in. We need to prepare ourselves mentally for that”

I guess it's a good thing the ACC has expanded to 15 teams.
But I guess that's not enough, apparently we should always expand, or we will look back and regret it. Fortunately for the ACC there's a lot of G5 schools that would love ACC membership. So let's expand. Or maybe expansion isn't always such a good idea. ** Edited by wwhokie1 at 8/13/2023, 10:39:59 PM

My response to Alberts.
1. Expansion for expansion's sake isn't a winner. There's good expansion and bad expansion. And this can be measured quite a few different ways. 2. Alberts doesn't mention the "expanded for" schools and the lack of winning. Nebraska had been awful since joining the Big Ten. Miami has underperformed quite miserable, too. Of all the schools that left one conference to join another (P5) conference, only one school has won the new conference in their first year 🦃.

Nebraska: Big 8; Big 12; Big 10
Please stop naming conferences based on the current number of teams, thank you.

Big 10 getting big brands should forget numbers and go Big Brand Conference

I doubt anyone will ever name a new conference by # of schools ever again.

Agreed, and it makes no sense, they keep the name either, lower education,
instead of higher education if you ask me.

I'm waiting for the creation of the Super American Conference.

I like the Diggity Dope conference - the B1G can change their name to that
