Not expecting P5 conferences to all go to 16 any time soon.


Heck, look at how resistant the B12 is to expand beyond 10.

The Pac-12 needs 4 teams...who are they going to get? That would probably require the B12 to fold, and four teams head west.

But B1X really doesn't see any "quality" teams coming unless they can rob the ACC (ro B12) again. They aren't happy with the Rutsgers addition, so that should make them even more hesitant to add 4 more. They will probably look to "cherry pick" the bones of the B12 if it collapses.

The SEC will also pick over the bones of the B12.

Unfortunately there aren't enough "bones" in the Big-12 to push the Pac-12, B1X and SEC to 16 teams. All three conferences will fight over OU and Big TX. The rest of the teams will be "filler."

The ACC is in better shape because they only need to add one: WVU, who would come in a heartbeat. I'm sure they're tired of their B1X travel schedule.

But once again, I don't see ND coming anytime soon, even if the GOR expires. Have a feeling that will be pushed out for another decade.
