Re: Conference Realignment Rumors

There was some speculation that we will see next batch of major
realignment in 2024/2025 with Big 12 looking to expand or
Texas/OU looking to finally bolt to Pac12/Big10. But now it
seems none of those are likely to happen. Conferences have
stabilized. Especially if CFP expands to 8, then there’s no
incentive for any changes to the power 5 conferences. Rumored
expanded 8 team playoffs: 5 spots to five P5 champions, 1 spot
to best of G5 and 2 spots at large. Big 12 schools already
making a lot of money. More than ACC and PAC 12. Texas and OU
will realize best to stay in Big 12 as big fish and easier path
to the playoffs each year. PAC12 will be happy with a guaranteed
spot in expanded playoffs. UCF will be happy in AAC If G5 gets a
guaranteed spot in the expanded playoffs as rumored currently.
Notre Dame will be happy because of at large opportunity.
Basically I think we will see a long time stability.
Big10 might regret adding programs like Rutgers. Because cable
money is drying out. Cord cutting age is here. More and more
people will be streaming. Incentive for more content for cable
channels will end. The desire to reach new tv markets will end.
Espn won’t be the sole streaming option monopolizing college
sports.

Hey UConn, let’s get in a room with UMass and a few other
schools and talk about a regional conference that makes sense
for everybody.

How’s the rest of The American doing... or is it just UCONN
struggling

All the article really talks about is how UConn was spending
like they were in a power conference, and were expecting to get
an invite to the ACC, only to be relegated to the American with
a TV deal that's a fraction of what they were making/could have
made back in the old football Big East. They won't give up until
they're absolutely certain they're not getting into the ACC.

SBNation article on UConn suggests a move to FCS (NEC then CAA)
and men's hoops to Big East (total pipe dream). UMass, BTW,
continues to show the folly of a New England public school
trying to play FBS.

UConn should wave the white flag in football and save their
basketball. P5 dream invite ain't coming. Rutgers going to B10
was probably the last lucky one from northeast region. UConn
along with Umass, Buffalo, Temple, ODU, ECU, Navy and Army would
make a nice 8 teams northeast regional public school FBS
conference. Enjoy the football and local rivalry and forget
about toilet bowls. Navy and Army can keep their all sports in
patriot leage and add VCU and URI for basketball. Should get 3-4
bids to the dance every year. Minimizes travel costs. Fans would
be more excited facing these teams than Tulane or Tulsa.

Makes too much sense to ever happen in dysfunctional FBS world.

Boy, that article sounds like Hofstra Football on steroids. I
can see UConn dropping football and other sports. Leaving the
Big East really backfired, huh?

It can't happen because conference realignment is never clean.
What incentive do many of these school shave to move?? You're
taking schools from three different conferences plus some
independents and trying to mix them in together.
If Uconn ever did anything to football, it would be dropping to
FCS (CAA would take them) and putting everything else in the Big
East like Villanova does. Any other movement is contingent on
what the Big 12 does here in the coming decade, if it survives,
does the AAC get raided, etc. This would be a nice league and
would be something us, JMU, Delaware, and others would have an
interest in, but again, it's too early to say what will happen.

It would be stunning to me if UConn dropped football. Football
is too much of a reputation marker for large state universities.
It's why UMass is clearly lost in the ether there, yet still
makes every attempt to permit the sport to exist.
At some point, the digital migration and geography agnostic
identity of the internet will do three things:
1. Make revenue outside P5 near flat for all sports but football
2. Make G5 revenue unsustainable against the maintenance costs
of a FBS football conference
3. Mandate the re-regionalization off football conferences to
drive down prohibitive travel costs and as a way to attempt to
drive up local attention and support. (this could be more
substantial than you think - it would just need to be at a
crossroads year when a bunch of media contracts are up all at
once)
Conference wishlist:
NE/Mid-Atlantic Large State Universities

SUNY - Buffalo
UMass
Temple
Delaware
Old Dominion
James Madison
Towson
Army
Navy
NE Small State/Privates
Maine
UNH
URI
Richmond
Villanova

CCSU
William & Mary
Elon
Albany
