4 conferences of 18 would be the same number of schools as 3 conferences of 24 while maintaining regionalism and rivalries to a certain degree. The only way I see it working well and allowing the big dogs (B1G and SEC) to be happy is "allow" them to pick apart the ACC. Outside of that, 4x18 doesn't work because those conferences aren't going to be happy with AAC schools. I don't see Notre Dame joining a conference, especially if its either the B1G or a mangled ACC.
