[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131903061, member: 1112294"] The NFL has 32 teams, neatly divided into eight four-team divisions. The MLB and NBA each have 30 teams, split into six divisions of five teams apiece. There's a beautiful logic and symmetry to that type of structure. It just makes sense. Now contrast that harmonious order with the anatomical BS of the ten FBS conferences. Seven schools are independent, with no conference affiliation at all. The Big 12 has 10 teams and no divisions. The Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Conference USA each have 14 teams across two divisions. The MAC, Mountain West and Pac-12 have 12 teams apiece in two divisions. Meanwhile, the Sun Belt has 10 teams in two divisions, and the AAC has a motley crew of eleven teams after UConn decided to go independent. There are 130 teams at the FBS level. Add two top teams from the FCS ranks and bring that total to 132. At that point, the entire FBS field could be split into eleven conferences of 12 teams, with two geographically arranged divisions therein. It could be accomplished rather efficiently, and circling back to geography here it would solve a plethora of logistical and budgetary issues that long out-of-state road trips present to athletic programs. So why not restructure, if for no other reason than to grant such programs a chance to function and compete with greater fluidity and constancy? Unfortunately Money and Greed are the main focus of the moronic Media and Mega Conference ***** mongers. Right now in 2021 and the near future, the constraints of conference structure have far more detriments than benefits. Things such as Geography, Balance and History ahould matter. [/QUOTE]
