Rebooting the cartel: the P7
Pac 10 - current PAC 12 less Colorado and Utah
SEC (10) - current lineup less Missouri, Texas A&M, Arkansas, South Carolina
Big 10 - current lineup less Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State
ACC (9) - Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake, Maryland, Virginia, Clemson, Georgia Tech , Florida State
SWC (8) - Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Penn State, South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas A&M
Metro (8) - West Virginia, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Miami, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Rutgers
Big 8 (9) - Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Missouri

Notre Dame would probably join the Metro as a partial member in this scenario.

If you wanted everyone to be at least none members, the SWC could add Cincinnati, and the Metro could add Temple, USF, or UCF.

Why is PSU in the SWC?

South Carolina was actually a member of the Metro at one time. You should probably put PSU and South Carolina there in your scenario. Bring back Rice and Houston and put BYU in the SWC in place of SMU.

Colorado St was repeated as an Independent but I fixed it above. I replaced them with Air Force as an independent.

This is not a terrible idea. The SWC seems to be the most "eh" but a Texas-centric conference would be fun. The Metro seem s like a fun conference.

Because of their arch-rival Texas Tech....
At least that's what Reddit's College Football would have you believe.

RE: Rebooting the cartel: the P7
Leagues aren’t working together for the greater good. At best, you might have a p4 with the big 10, pac 12, sec and acc post big 12 blow up. The aac and mwc would be the next tier

RE: Rebooting the cartel: the P7
Somewhat close in your thinking but it will be Four Conferences and Eight 9 Team Divisions. Look for 9 game conference Schedules to allow crossover and a couple teams getting kicked out of power conference. The only question does ND join a conference or remain indy in this scenario.

What I like to see, not what I will think will happen.

PAC 12 - TX, TT, OU, OSU
Big 10 - Kansas and UCONN
SEC - Kstate and WVU
ACC - If ND joins, Navy as Footbal only if ND demands Navy to join the league as their partner, otherwise TCU . If ND remains indy, TCU and (SMU or Houston) to get into a pair into Texas. Prefer Houston market but SMU better fit.

Winners - UCONN, maybe Navy, Houston or SMU.
Losers - ISU, Baylor, maybe TCU

RE: Rebooting the cartel: the P7
Calling it a "cartel" is childish, of course, but here's a reboot involving a P7 with geographic 10-team conferences:

Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) = KY+MD+VA+WV+NC4
Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, NC State, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, West Virginia

Atlantic South Conference (ASC) = FL+GA+SC+ECU
Central Florida, Clemson, East Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami-FL, South Carolina, South Florida

Big 10 Conference = IL+IN+IA+MN+MO+NE+WI
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin

Eastern Athletic Conference (EAC) = CT+MI+NJ+NY+OH+PA
Cincinnati, Connecticut, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple

Pac-10 Conference = AZ+CA+OR+WA
Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State

Southeastern Conference (SEC) = AL+AR+LA+MS+TN
Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Memphis, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Tulane, Vanderbilt

Southwest Conference (SWC) = CO+KS+OK+TX+UT
Colorado, Houston, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Utah

Notable annual interconference matchups
Auburn/Georgia
Kansas/Missouri
Kentucky/Tennessee
Nebraska/Oklahoma
Pittsburgh/West Virginia

The only state I had to break up was NC.

RE: Rebooting the cartel: the P7
Forget about anything other than whether the structure of a conference 1) maximizes the value of the conference's TV deal and 2) whether it results in culturally similar schools grouping together.

Focusing on the first item, based on the clear trend, it appears that the value of television contracts increases based upon the geographic footprint of the conference. Breaking into smaller conferences, therefore, makes no sense.

It's the hangover of fantasy football. And to the folks throwing rocks here I ask, "How is this any different than the what if this conference had taken so and so in '92 type of threads we've had". All of it can be filed under the "IF Ifs and Buts were Candy and Nuts" category.

But it's harmless entertainment for those who wish to participate so if it's not your cup of tea then take a pass and don't be an ass.

I don't understand why people who don't like realignment frequent the realignment forum and complain about how there's too much realignment talk here.

I don't understand why people who don't like realignment frequent the realignment forum and complain about how there's too much realignment talk here.

I don't have a problem with the nature of these threads, which include a few of yours. But there is a distinction. The difference is between the nuance of "could happen" and "might have happened." One is based on a future potential, and the other dwells on what we already know didn't happen. While both are speculative one is usually predicated upon the various conference's criteria for membership, available, and not so available wants and wishes and trying to fit them into the whatever the scenario du jour happens to be (16, 18, 20, 24, etc.) and the other is backward looking to what might have been if only.... which has no chance of happening since it didn't happen. The former plays upon hopes and the latter is based usually upon regrets.

I see them both as entertainment, or at worst a diversion from an ever increasingly woeful world. In the end nobody really wants to talk about what truly will likely happen because saying team x and y will leave their old family for a new one for nothing more than mere money is too much of a sober admission to "greed rules" than it is an expression of "hope" or "regret".

So we get Domers who rally around independence even though Notre Dame has been nudged closer toward full membership with each subsequent agreement they have made. We get SEC and B1G uber alles posts. We get a few PAC guys who say they are just fine like they are (probably true and at least not delusional) and then we get the ACC fans who feel like even though they trail the other 4 in most metrics that they are just around the corner from being #1 and that they have never and will never be that horrible "V" word, vulnerable. Their delusion is that they are the favorite child of ESPN and therefore nothing bad will ever happen to them. Well I believe in God, loved what Dad did as Santa Clause, but have lived long enough to know that it rains on the Just and Unjust alike as the good book says. UNC may find out tomorrow just how much bad stuff can happen to delusional people. But then again we live in a delusional world so maybe it won't be that bad.

So enjoy the board and if somebody posts in one of your threads or one like this that somebody should be banned and the topic is not worthy then just PM me. The day we only have threads about the facts and spin ceases to exist, and fanciful thought is no longer, then I might ban somebody for speculating. Until then all posters need to come to the board wearing hip waders and toting a good shovel because 90% of the time it's deep around here.

I actually like quite a bit of this--swap South Carolina to the ACC (homecoming) and put Penn St with their traditional rivals in the Metro/Big East FB. I'd also toss original Big East FB member Temple to the mix.

Louisville slides into the SWC, at the expense of either Tulane or SMU.

I'd also do BYU over Colorado St in the Big 8.
