Some of the early rounds of conference expansion made sense, most of the latter rounds made no sense for anything other than tv money, and self-preservation.  So if you had asked me 10-15 years ago, I may have voted conference expansion.  Not any longer.

I think the NFL rules are pretty solid - gives the team some expectations and keeps the NFL from drafting freshmen.  I'm not crazy about conference expansion, but more of a conference realignment - four conferences would work a little more neatly with the playoffs.

The Conference expansion proved to me that these Conferences are harder to kill off than a govt program that long ago served it's purpose. 

Literally every team got out of the Wac as quick as they could. Did they take the hint? No. They called up a bunch of D2 schools that no one has ever heard of, and carried on as an Olympic Sports Conference.

I think four conferences could work, if all 6 conferences had sat down about 10 years ago and hammered something out that makes sense, and tried to preserve as much as they could in the process.  Instead I feel like when we get there, we'll have something that makes absolutely no sense, other than feeding more neatly into a playoff.  And maybe in the end it won't matter that we got there with Texas as a Pac 12 champ, and WVU as a Big XII champ after beating Houston or TCU, or something.  But there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube on that one.
