and nominates Side Show Joe as commissioner

I think we need to nix defunct conferences.

I'll entertain wildcard entries like FCS and defunct (WAC/SWC/Metro) if I think there's enough raw material (schools) of relevance that can be handed to you to start with.

Oh look, we have someone affiliated with the region (Side Show) who wants to play and sufficient unclaimed teams to claim a core.

As a Rice fan (still defending SWC baseball champs) I have standing to nominate ‘my’ conference.

I say we let the elephant play ball!

Adding a bunch of defunct conferences doesn't work because all of those teams are in existing conferences and it dilutes the game too much. It's as unworkable as having both the Big 8 and Big 12 in addition to the SWC. Or like having both the Pac-12 and the old Pacific Coast Conference, or having the SEC and the ACC and the old Southern Conference in the same game, or having Big East football and the old Border Conference, Skyline Conference, and Missouri Valley Conference in the game. At that point you might as well forget the existing conferences and just let a few players choose any teams they want (something we've already done at least twice here).
