Well, no doubt the masses are impressed with your brilliance. 
NO idea why you're getting pissy here.

I really don't like the 24 and 24 potential outcome, as that will yield the same thing we have now - oversized conferences/groupings.

They need to be even more bloated in order to divide them up into 10-team groupings, in an attempt to have what we used to have.  
This is a real chance to expand while getting back to the golden age of the sport's format alignment.

Tell you what. I’d be just fine if a group of college teams said no thanks, we’re just interested in playing college football and left all the TV and bullshit behind. Pack the stadiums, sell beer for $12 each or whatever, regional rivalries/conferences, real but few bowl games. I sincerely wish A&M chooses that group. Even if it means losing exciting games with longtime rivals and big time programs.

Whatever money they generate, they keep. And the coaches and AD May only make $100,000 and we may not be able to have 25 different sports. But I think it’d be funnier.

Some friends and I talked about how we preferred watching the FCS and lower division playoffs over the FBS bowl games and playoffs.   I know the quality was not as good in terms of coaching and athletes, but man... we all agreed you could just feel the emotion of giving it all and winning for their school.   We're getting old.  I get it.  But it felt pure.   Not sure how else to phrase it.

I've always put more interest in to a good game at any level than just top 10 or Blue Bloods NFL Lite really squaring off or padding their resume'

I've said for a couple years I should just totally buy in on an FCS/D2 team.  Western PA has 3 of them.  Particularly now, when ESPN+ airs a bunch of those games, it's never been easier.  I actually think once my kids get a little older, and their activities die down, so we can actually attend the home games, that's the play

Colorado freshman cornerback and former five-star prospect Cormani McClain plans to enter the transfer portal, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

He can immediately play and has three years of eligibility remaining. The No. 13 overall recruit in the 2023 class, McClain committed to Miami before flipping to the Buffaloes in January 2023. One of Deion Sanders‘ biggest recruiting wins, the No. 1 cornerback played in nine games and started just four as a true freshman this past fall. He tallied 13 total tackles and two pass breakups.

“Study and prepare,” Sanders told reporters in September 2023 when asked what McClain needed to improve on to see more playing time. “Be on time for meetings, show up to meetings. Understand the scheme. I check film time from each player so I can see who’s preparing, so if I don’t see that, you would be a fool to put somebody out there who’s not prepared. That goes for all our players.”

Whoever came up with this should be forced to get a vasectomy.

Not only is this just plain stupid, it's clear that whoever made this up does know geography at all.

I've seen worse like today's geographic alignments that aren't even in the same physical footprint.Additions of East & West Coast Teams to the BIG or Legends/Leaders Or ND in the ACC? TEXAS/OU to the SEC? Doesn't exactly smack of intense,anticipated clashes

In 1990 you had

  • ACC, Big 8 - 8 teams
  • SWC - 9 teams
  • Big 10, Pac 10, SEC - 10 teams
  • Big East - didn't yet exist.

  • South Carolina had left the ACC, FSU hadn't joined yet, so put them there
  • Add rivals BYU and Utah to the Big 8
  • Make a 10 team Big East out of the original 8 minus Temple (BC, Miami, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, VT, WVU) + ND, PSU, Louisville
  • Not sure who you add to the SWC?  Boise?

There, 7 "regions" of 10

  • Atlantic (ACC)
  • East (Big East)
  • Great Plains (Big 8)
  • Midwest (Big 10)
  • Pacific (Pac 10)
  • Southeast (SEC)
  • Southwest (SWC)

I love it. I'd probably swap New Mexico for Boise to the SWC.

The Easterns should have listened to Joe Pa. If they had, maybe all this shit going on today never happens. Expansion really started after the Easterns ignored him - and it eventually led to their demise when the ACC came calling.

Why do the conferences need to be the same size?  College football was great for 100 years without that.
