6 conferences of 7 teams each -- obguthr 04/10/2022 11:03AM UNC and UVA will follow the money ** -- MrFantastic! 04/12/2022 05:56AM How much television revenue would it generate? ** -- EDGEMAN 04/11/2022 10:06AM Gee, maybe there will be a TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE that works on this -- daveinop 04/10/2022 08:36AM My first question: Would VT follow into this new alignment? ** -- VTNSC 04/09/2022 12:27PM If we are talking closer to 40 teams, then probably not unless VT -- VTHokie2000 04/09/2022 2:41PM For the sake of argument, what impact would be on VT if it were included -- IB4TECH 04/16/2022 09:19AM Good question.

However, there is no guarantee that the -- VTHokie2000 04/09/2022 6:11PM Ok lets do math -- Mercury 04/11/2022 08:20AM And consider the impact of money spent.

I certainly never used Wyoming -- VTHokie2000 04/12/2022 10:09PM I didn't see your list, but it really doesn't matter. -- Maroon Baboon 04/12/2022 11:14PM I don't believe the Big XII is done expanding. Likewise, I wouldn't -- VTHokie2000 04/12/2022 11:22PM You may be right. And demographics change over time. That's all the more -- Maroon Baboon 04/12/2022 11:58PM Promotion/Relegation isn't in the American culture though. If it was, then -- VTHokie2000 04/13/2022 2:11PM I realize it isn't in the American sports culture, but it should be. -- Maroon Baboon 04/13/2022 3:34PM Depending on how things play out, it may not take JMU as long as you think -- VTHokie2000 04/13/2022 3:51PM Duplicate post.

NFL no. -- Maroon Baboon 04/09/2022 3:51PM I think stadium size would be a good qualifier -- EDGEMAN 04/09/2022 6:27PM Should keep in mind that NFL average capacity does not even reach 70,000 ** -- wwhokie1 04/13/2022 5:37PM Average attendance would be better. -- obguthr 04/10/2022 12:29PM In that case, Miami will definitely be "out" ** -- EDGEMAN 04/10/2022 1:39PM Pitt has a big stadium that they don't own, that is half full usually. -- Maroon Baboon 04/09/2022 9:19PM Attendance will force schools to adjust their ticket prices -- EDGEMAN 04/10/2022 08:35AM Where do they draw the line? -- Maroon Baboon 04/09/2022 12:32AM Number of teams will ultimately be informed by media content requirement -- Synaesthesia 04/09/2022 12:32PM It's all predicated on how many regular season games each school will play -- Maroon Baboon 04/09/2022 3:15PM I don't hate the idea of relegation; 'boundary' programs are always hurt -- Synaesthesia 04/09/2022 3:46PM When did UConn announce it was returning to DI-FCS in football? -- VTHokie2000 04/09/2022 6:14PM You're right, I thought it was finalized, but just under consideration ** -- Synaesthesia 04/09/2022 6:48PM No worries. Personally, I do think UConn and UMass should both switch -- VTHokie2000 04/09/2022 7:30PM Valid concerns.
