Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[1SEIACLONE]

I don’t know how many more brands are even worth adding. If you’re saying a couple ACC schools that’s fine but there aren’t many and I don’t think that’s even likely. Possible, but not really likely.

There isn’t much reason for the P2 to change the status quo. But to play devils advocate a bit more let’s just say you are right and the top 4 ACC teams leave. The remainder just join the big 12 and basically it’s not much different then today, just more east coast travel

Its totally different because once those schools leave the ACC then the B10 and SEC will push the remaining schools further into money problems, the left over schools will be not much above the level of the MAC schools or the MW teams. Sure they are playing, but struggling yearly to put a competitive team on the field. The talent will flow towards the money, just like coaches will. It's bad now for the B12 and ACC, if the other two leagues expand again, it will be worse for the teams left over.

As long as the B12 and ACC have a few relative teams, they are still in the game, if those schools leave, all of that ends.

Yep, and I think they should be limited to just once. I guess you could have an exception going from G5 to P4 but think it’s just cleaner to have one transfer only.

Not my point. I’m not arguing about transfer rules.

You keep pointing to examples like Indiana and saying, “See? It worked.”

But that’s just a specific outcome. A few success stories don’t prove there aren’t other issues. You’re using those examples as evidence that nothing else is wrong, and I don’t think that’s enough.

I’m not sure how that wasn’t your point since your entire post was addressing my comments on transfers which I responded to.

I’m saying having 7 different CFB champions in 8 years including teams like Indiana is awesome. ISU getting the top basketball reciting class in 2027 is awesome. The frequency of transfers is the only real major issue. The rest is just improvements from what already existed

I think we’re talking past each other.

I’m not saying those things aren’t awesome. I agree they are.

I’m saying examples like Indiana and ISU show some good outcomes. They don’t prove the rest of the system is fine or that transfer frequency is the only issue. That conclusion doesn’t automatically follow from those examples.
