Ok guys/gals

Give me your best bet at your dream 64-80 teams to play Big Time FB in the year 2020. Assume conference champions can be decided among leagues as small as 8. Look at branding, history, demographics, geography, overall sports departments, TV, school ratings...Remember you are the King and can make any thing happen...You own ESPN/FOX/CBS and the NCAA.

You can assume that up to 8-10 extra conferences will come along for other sports championships...but if they play FB it will be a best of G5/1AA type division for FB.

I'm going with 8 leagues of 10...keep it symmetrical...my first draft

I like Old Big East Indie. But you should have called it the "Paterno -- I really love Pitt" conference.

That old east would be so perfect in the eyes of UCONN fans.

So Marshall or WKU in the Mid South Conference?

Is there anyone I'm forgetting?

MAC schools, CAA, MVFC and some Big Sky schools.

So whom do I remove to add them? My initial parameter was 64-80 total schools.

David do you not understand the rules in the OP? 64-80 teams...not 120+!

Everybody in a P5 conference minus TCU...

I'd love that mid Atlantic league with Charlotte in it

give him some credit he didnt have any d3 or d2 in his leagues..

The problem with some of the ideas is that putting schools in regions that they do not fit.

I forgot South Dakota State for the great plains north.

Maybe add a VCU, Dayton and Gonzaga, break away from the rest of the D1 schools, and have an FBS and FCS division in basketball.

There are not 64 "Big Boy" football programs, let alone 80. It requires a bit of charity to reach 40.
