I'm a big supporter of the NCAA conference realignment, they have needed consolidation for a long time. I think it's going to be much better for sports to have several big conferences and cut down on the total number of conferences. The best part of all of this is that we should be much closer to a college football playoff system. With all the conferences appearing now to go the conference championship game route, the groundwork is being set forth to get rid of the BCS. So fatediesel, you are a Big Ten guy, who else besides Nebraska is going to join? I've been hearing rumors of Missouri, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh for a long time now. How many of those schools are going to end up being part of the new sixteen team conference?
Same here. I really believe a major realignment might eventually push college football towards a playoff system and away from bowls.
