If you assume that G5 schools are on the table because they add unique audiences in a streaming world then how large could some of these leagues grow?

I've thought there's a good chance that the entire Big 12 could find a home in the next iteration of Power leagues and that possibly even a few G5s could make the cut as well.

I don't really see anyone going past 20, but I do think 20 is a legitimate possibility for some or all. I have to believe that Slive had not only good information but good perspective due to his associations when he told the world we would probably move to "very, very large conferences" in the next wave.

What shape does it take?

Well, if this all coincides with ESPN being in content acquisition mode then the SEC and ACC probably stand to bring down the biggest brands and perhaps the largest numbers. The PAC is not in a very strong position and the B1G can pay well, but might be limited by a few factors.

What about this?

SEC adds Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, South Florida, and BYU

ACC adds Notre Dame, Cincinnati, West Virginia, TCU, Baylor, and Tulane

B1G adds Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and UConn

PAC adds Colorado State, New Mexico, UNLV, and Houston
