    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    If the 19 team max goes through, I don't think a merger of the B12 and ACC will be allowed. I also don't think a shuffle of teams would be allowed either. Though it makes so much sense to swap SMU+Cal+Stanford with WVU+Cinci+UCF.

    The B1G will keep that seat open for ND as long as ND remains independent. So they will just stay at 18 until the ACC explodes. And the ACC won't explode unless the SEC goes raiding.

    ••• 2026 Official Chicago Cubs Thread •••

    And with one of the OF corners likely to be open next year, there is no reason to move someone with a clear path up when there are a handful of others blocked from the big league roster.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Why wouldn't some version of a super league happen? It isn't a stretch that the top brands of the P2 to decide they dont need the bottom of their conferences and are better off together. When that happens, it is easier for them to leave their conferences as a group than to try and boot anyone...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    How does that get enforced though? If 24 schools say they are taking their football (or entire athletics) programs out of the NCAA and organizing under a separate governing entity, what is the mechanism that forces them back into their current structure? This will obviously end up in the courts...

    If the PCSA passes, the urgency for breakaway will be ramped up and the moves will be announced before the law can take effect. The power players will do their damnedest beat the posse out of town.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    If the PCSA is passed, there will be an accelerated breakaway of the top 20-30ish brands from the P4 to create an independent football/athletics league. While I don't disagree with the idea of regional realignment with rights pooling, the question is who is it good for? It is great for teams...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Jamie is in good health now, but he had a heart attack in 2015 and testicular cancer in 2021. He and Ellen are fully empty nesters with their youngest, James, now working as the video coordinator for the UNI basketball team. I cannot fault the guy for handing off his work and looking to enjoy...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Correct. None of the current schools in the SEC or B1G will be leaving except to break away into a super league. There is zero reason to willingly remove oneself from the most resourced conferences. In fact only UChicago (dropped FB in '39) has left the B1G while GT and Tulane left the SEC in...

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    I don't read his commentary that way. His commentary on Iowa and Vandy is in the "Most likely to regress in 2026" section of the article, right beneath his ISU comments. Additionally, his SEC preview has Vandy projected at 6.5 wins.

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    Connelly does say that article that 2026 is a reset year for both Iowa and Vanderbilt with each having to replace 14 or 15 starters. The main difference is neither of those teams had to replace an entire coaching staff.

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    Yep. Bill Connelly's SP+ factors in transfers for returning production and he has different factors based on position, what level a transfer is coming from, and if players are coming with their coaches. By his numbers ISU is 102 out of 138 nationally in returning production. From the P4, only...
