RE: The Great Realignment War Game Simulation Thread
Be careful or you'll have 16-team megaconferences by 1992. I think one facet of expansion is the TV deals. These conferences are pooling their TV rights for the first time in the wake of 1986 and signing deals for their content. The expansions coincide with these deals and, once signed, are unlikely to be reopened in 7-10 years, unless a Big Fish comes available.
The Big Ten (at 12), the SEC (at 12), and the ACC (at 9) may now be done. We still have to see how the SWC/B8 shake out, and while the SEC could double dip, I don't know that the playing field has changed enough in 1 year for A&M/Texas to reassess their decision not to join.
