Often, standing pat is the right choice.  Panic breeds overly hasty actions regretted in time.

I think Southern Miss peaked as a B-level independent in the 80s/90s.  
Anywho, that's where Jimmy Buffett went, so it's a pretty big deal.

He did!  And he never had a passer rating over 130.  He had a good soph season and coasted until getting drafted.  
Ray Guy went to SoMiss.  So did Sammy Winder.  Louis Lipps.  Patrick Surtain Sr.

I idly wonder if at some point the SEC becomes a de facto two conferences, akin to two current conferences with some agreements to play each other.

Whatever became of that ACC/B1G/Pac "agreement"?  Words on paper meaning nothing?

I’m blown away that in 70 years the population of Michigan went up by 4 million while Texas went up by 20 million. I mean I knew we gained a lot of people but I had no idea the disparity was that much.

If most of the people moving to Texas and California are from a place where "football" means soccer, then what difference does it make with regards to CFB?

Besides, Cali has four P5s, and Texas will soon be back up to six.

Too early to tell. It will probably be a year until we know. Don't be impatient :57:

What kind of balls would it take for the SEC to ditch East and West and label the divisions NFC and AFC?  lol

What can CUSA even do? 

They could load up on FBS Independents, but Liberty already turned them down, and Army supposedly turned down the AAC. 

So that leaves what? UConn, UMass and New Mexico State? Toss in an FCS school or three?

Sure, but I thought that we were talking about the ability to field multiple teams based on a large population.

the large population turns on TV sets, therefore providing revenue needed to field multiple teams
