B12 looks at adding 4 (Cincy, UCF, BYU, Boise),..invites are sent.
Meanwhile, the remaining 8 members of the B12 scramble to find new Power homes. Some succeed and the new B12 never forms…
P12 needs to survive and sees 16 as the new Power number. They grab 4 of the remaining 8 (OkSt, TxTech, ISU, and Kansas)
The remaining 4 join the AAC to get the AAC To 15. AAC adds BYU to get to 16.
Pressure will be on ACC and B10 to find 2 schools each. ND will be one of the 4. Thunderdome for the other 3 spots but they eventually go to WVU, Cincy, and UCF. BYU, Baylor, TCU remain in AAC as they are not a “cultural fit” for ACC or B10. AAC backfills with Boise, SDSU, and Army/Gonzaga split to get back to 16.
The top 5 conferences break off to form their own “new league” of 80 teams…5 conferences of 16.
you honestly hit about 99% of my prediction just took to long to write it.
Put me down for this also.
Presidents of state flagship autonomy conference are not joining a G5. The backlash would be so severe that they might as well stop playing.

None did in that scenario…WVU ends up in the ACC. BYU, Boise, SDSU, TCU, Baylor end up in the AAC
The P5 conferences may end up being the P4 when this is done. Any school not in the club as of now will be on the outside looking in. If fact, some who think they're in the club will be shown the door. For the rest of us, trying to put as many games in as many time zones per period may be the only way to keep surviving. But, as I see it, we are all in chemotherapy and the goal is to keep us alive just a bit longer.

That is so fitting. I like it.
Looks like we are the Charlie in the Box. Knew it.
Yeah. “Nobody wants a Charlie-in-the-Box”
Kind of scary now that I think about it.

AAC adds Rice and UAB to stay at 9 teams.
CUSA doesn't respond because this moves them down to 12 teams. No reason to go back to 14.
Without UCF in the AAC, the last thing anyone needs UCF telling who the AAC should add

PAC adds TT/OSU/UH/TCU or KSU
ACC adds WVU/ND
The BIG XII disolves, and no exit fees are paid.
The departing schools no longer have to wait out BIG XII GOR
Baylor/TCU or KSU join the AAC
Four - 16 team conferences are born.
The symmetry would be complete.
Sounds logical to me. ESPN has invested a lot of money in the AAC (relative to the G5) and I look at them leveraging their investment. The AAC would be a better conference than than the BIG12 was.
