that's the MAC. and if we got a MAC invite we should take it.

you get 2 games on a tues or wed . 1 home 1 away on ESPN before Dec 21 , what's wrong with that! Tailgating at 3pm.on tuesday for 7pm game would be sweet!!


and NDSU vs Cincy or SMU or UCF would be amazing

Most people have to work during the week.

I really hope the BigXII or bust crowd isn't serious. BigXII would never happen. MAC is most realistic. Then moving up for AAC after that. Then maybe BXII. But by that point football will no longer be a sanctioned NCAA sport.

You assume the big 12 would exist as it does today.. if the big 4 all decide to break away and go to 16 team conferences they will take most of the current big 12.. leaving likely the Kansas schools or lesser Texas ones.. they would then need at least 8-12 teams in what essentially would be a g6 conference now..

Using the Mac as a stepping stone would be ok for a couple seasons.

Nothing says college football like Tuesday afternoon tailgating.

So for the non FBS crowd would any other schools going up force your hand? what if JMU and 1-2 other top eastern or southern teams leave or what if the SD or MT schools jumped up as independents even- Say Denny Sanford or whoever is a rich MT guy are bankrolling it..

I just don't see that happening IMO. P5 conferences are fairly stable now. P5 already has autonomy. No major benefits to going to 16 team super-conferences. The BXII could potentially expand, but now you can have conference championships with less than 10 teams, they have no real reason to now. The only shake-ups I see happening are G5 conferences.

the benefit is they can then have a 8 team playoff basically- div winners play for conf title and then 4 teams for the national title and can dump the G5- they also then take the entire 64 team basketball tournament for themselves.... some will whine about the small schools being out but still will be underdogs in the 16 slots...
