If I were ESPN I'd worry about myself being relevant in 2023.
Save the date: All eyes on 2023 for conference realignment
- Thread starter ZB4CY
- Start date
After last year's debacle (the CY TV set up, not the game) I'll likely have to follow it again online/radio.
It should simply be a better service.
Good thing was the game sounded awful to watch, and I got my money back.
I'd only want ISU to just be in a P5 conference for their own AD's sake. The actual conference doesn't really matter since they're all watered down as it is.
just means in the next 5 years, ISU needs to get really good at football and a few teams need to go back to the historical gutter.

Dennis Dodd says Kansas' $300 million investment in football facilities is a to get on the radar for the next wave of realignment.

Just go to eight conferences of nine (72) or eight of ten (80).
64 P5
ND and BYU
= 66
Bring up the last few stragglers in the American and MWC who have a case. Cinci, UConn, USF, UCF, Houston, and Boise State might be the list right there.
Reorganize in conferences based on history and geography.
Sign some massive TV deal together.
...done.

They should focus on improving the product first and then worry about fixing up that dump.
A merger? Probably nothing.
Scheduling alliance? Maybe something.
The questions I have are;
1. Would a combined Pac 12 / Big 12 TV network be financially desirable for us? Would it work, etc.
2. Could we pacify the cry baby OU fans who want "better" teams on their home schedules.
Regarding schedules - maybe we go to 8 conf games and do 2 Pac games? I don't know but it's intriguing.
If interested, here's an informative look at ESPN's current situation.

for us the date is 2018, that is the year that incoming recruits that redshirt will not know what conference they are playing in the senior year. So this is upon way faster than anyone thinks. This could really affect recruiting
Why would they share the money with more schools? And you call yourself a Libertarian....
What will happen is they will pare down the teams that stay in whatever they call the P5 after 2023.
This might be relevant. We are the beggar at the table.

It might be relevant with some explanation of what these numbers mean.
Revenue, I thought discussing bring to the table would be clear enough. Sorry for using slang terms.
I couldn't find an original thread regarding realignment but wanted to get some thoughts on something...
If the Big 12 had decided to go with divisions for the start of this years football season, I think our chances at a Big 12 title game would be a real possibility, depending how divisions were set up.
Not sure if they would have done it geological or what but,,
ISU, KSU, KU, OSU, OU ???
I'm not sure, but having a tiebreaker of OU would have helped.
I'm just speculating here and trying to have a little fun with a "What If"

I'm going to say they wouldn't have done it geological, but that's just me.
Too bad NE, MO, and CO are still not here...life would be even easier.
