Right now we have 69 teams in (or about to join) a P5 conference


How do you get that to a workable number if this all gets consolidated into a P4 or P2?

If for football only, I could use school size to drop 5 teams (Wake, BC, Northwestern, Vaderbilt, Duke)but leave Miami because they have the brand (even though they are small). That still leaves 64 teams spread across four unique geographies.

Do you go 32 a side? Or do you go with tiers and have 28 in the top tier and maybe 36 in the next level (or some other combination)? And do you potentially leave out entire states from the big money? Seems like politicians would intervene if that happened.

I know the big money is consolidating, but I don't see how the number of power teams gets reduced. Too many hurdles.
