RE: How large could these leagues get?

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
Predictions?
Okay let's play large shall we:
B1G East: Indiana, Maryland, Penn State, Purdue, Ohio State, Rutgers
B1G North: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Wisconsin
B1G Midwest: Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Utah
B1G West: California, Cal Los Angeles, Oregon, Southern Cal, Stanford, Washington
SEC East: Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina
SEC North: Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, N.C. State, Virginia, Virginia Tech
SEC South: Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
SEC West: Arkansas, Louisiana State, Louisville, Miami, Missouri, Texas A&M
B12 North: Boston College, Connecticut, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia
B12 Central: Cincinnati, Colorado State, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, T.C.U.
B12 South: Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, Texas, Texas Tech
B12 West: Brigham Young, Boise State, U.N.L.V., San Diego St., Oregon State, Wash St.
Each conference plays 11 conference games and has 1 OOC rival. You play the 5 games from your division and an alternating division each year.
There are 4 division champs each of which gets a berth in the Conference Semis. The final four for the CFP are the three conference champs and the best at large to satisfy the networks.
Let's look at the potential divisional champs for each conference:
B1G Semis: East: Ohio State/ Penn State, North: Mich/MichSt/Wisc, Midwest: Nebraska/Colorado, West: USC/Wash
SEC: East:Clemson/FSU/Fla/Ga, North: UNC/VaTech, South: Alabama/Aub, West: L.S.U./A&M/Miami/Lousiville
B12: North: Notre Dame/WVU, Central: OU/OSU/TCU, South: UT/AZ/ASU, West: B.Y.U./Boise
I challenge you to find a truly dud for the ratings of those potential conference semi match ups. Heck, the pairings are far better than most bowls.
If you go that far then you might as well go to a P2. B1G plus PAC & northern ACC & with the SEC with the southern ACC & the B12 split between the 2.
B1G
West: UCLA, Stanford, Cal, USC, Oregon, Washington, Oregon State, Washington State
Southwest: Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, TT, TCU, Purdue
North: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana
East: Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Maryland, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, BC
SEC

Central: Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Miss State, A&M, Arkansas, Vanderbilt
South: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, SC, Miami, Louisville, Kentucky, West Virginia
North: FSU, Clemson, North Carolina, Duke,,Virginia, VT, GT, NC State
