How about college conference realignment every year. Take the top conferences and have a draw like the World Cup. Have the schools weighted by their finish last season and their projected strengths/weaknesses going into the coming season. Alabama could be drawn into SEC one season, Big 10 the next, PAC year after. Ohio State could be in the ACC three season running. All schools get a couple dates for traditional rivalries so Alabama-Auburn, Michigan-OSU, Duke-UNC, et al keep going. Each offseson, the big talking point will be "Group of Death"
Fuck, makes as much sense as UCLA and Penn State in the same conference.

Expand the league by 2 teams. Each league has 4 divisions of 4 teams with only division winners making the playoffs.
Each team plays 4 home and 4 away games with division teams.
Each team plays 3 home and 3 away games with remaining 12 teams in league.
Each team plays 2 home and 2 away games with each of 16 teams in other league.

NCAA:
USC, Texas, on the move, eastbound? You fcuk tradition? I say fcuk your traditions:
Geographic. 20 teams per conference. 10 teams per division.
North: Nor'east: Boston College, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Louisville, Maryland, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Penn State, Rutgers, Temple. Great Lakes: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin.
Atlantic: Seaboard: Clemson, Duke, Georgia, Kentucky, Memphis, North Carolina, NC State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt. Coastal: Florida Atlantic, FIU, Florida, Florida State, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Miami, UCF, USF, Wake Forest
South: Sou'East: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Houston, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, West Virginia, Virginia, Virginia Tech. Midwest: Baylor, BYU, Kansas, Kansas state, Iowa, Iowa State, SMU, TCU, Tulane, UNLV.
Pacific: Nor'west: Boise St., Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, Washington, Washington State. Sou'west: Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Hawaii, Stanford, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA, USC.
Everyone else is in the Fifth Conference, top to bottom. Every Power Four team must play 2 Fifth teams. Division winners are re-seeded for playoff bracket.
It would never work of course... the Florida schools would devour one another's recruits. Face it... the NCAA is doomed.

Commissioners of the big 4: We need you to realign the leagues and submit a report by Monday! Here's 2 Million dollars! Go hog wild!!! MLB National League North 1:Blue Jays 2:Reds 3:White Sox 4:Tigers East 1:Phillies 2:Red Sox 3:Yankees 4:Montreal (resurrected team to get the list up to 32 teams, same uniforms slightly altered logo) West 1:Giants 2:A's 3:Dodgers 4:Angels South 1:Cardinals 2:Braves 3:Royals 4:Padres American League North 1:Cubs 2:Indians (I am a god! Bow to me mortals!!!) 3:Twins 4:Brewers East 1:Mets 2:Nationals 3:Orioles 4:Pirates West 1:Astros 2:Rangers 3:Rockies 4:Mariners South 1:St Louis Browns/Tennessee Moon Runners (Either resurrect another dead franchise or give Tennessee a franchise to get the list up to 32) 2:Marlins 3:Rays 4:Diamond Backs All franchises were put in order by their founding date and then I broke them down into squads of 8 for each region and split up the cities who have two teams, sending 1 team to each League with the senior teams getting placed in the NL. I wanted to put both Canadian teams in the NL North because one of my minor pet peeves is having Canadian based teams playing in what's called the American League. Had to move Montreal to the NL East because while definitely a Northern team, they are more Eastern than the other 4 I put in the NL North.
Will post later on with an NHL and NBA realignment because god damn do I hate their setups!

NBA Realignment National Conference North
Pistons Bulls Bucks Raptors East
Celtics Knicks 76ers Bullets (resurrected team, now Washington has 1 team in each conference West
Warriors Lakers Kings Super Sonics (resurrected team that many have been dying for) South
Hawks Suns Hornets Heat American Conference North
Pacers Trailblazers Timberwolves Jazz East
Nets Cavaliers Magic Wizards West
Nuggets Thunder Clippers Mavericks South
Rockets Spurs Grizzlies Pelicans
Gets the torches and pitchforks ready because I put the Lakers and Celtics in the same conference which means they don't get to play each other in the championship game for the 10,000 time.

I'm not going to rework the entire sports world, but one I really think should be done. Nebraska should be chucked out of the Big Fat 10. I'm not sure why they took the Huskers to begin with. Yeah, Nebraska has a rich history, much more than Rutgers or Maryland. But it wasn't Rutgers or Maryland joining but the NY/NJ and Baltimore/DC TV markets. Is the lucrative Omaha market that big of a cash cow? And their record in the B10 is 43-54. No bowl game since 2016. Even worse in basketball, 24-67 in the last three years. And it only going to get worse. Nebraska should go back to the Big XII. Helps the program, helps the Big XII even helps the B10. If the doomsday predictions play out and the NCAA becomes two giant conferences, it will not be good for the sport.

Hope the USC & UCLA AD's are ready for raukus home crowds when they host Purdue, Indiana, &/or Iowa... The Pac-12 had been extremely competitive recent years... it scuked that their competitive parity kept them out of playoff contentions. I'll miss late night Saturdays with the best games of the entire day. At the very least, hopefully this is the slippery slope to full geographic scorched earth alignments.

Maybe there's an upside to all of this. When we reach the point where there are only two conferences, those huge conferences can have geographic divisions which resemble the conferences we used to know and love.

Maybe there's an upside to all of this. When we reach the point where there are only two conferences, those huge conferences can have geographic divisions which resemble the conferences we used to know and love. It's been pretty absurd for years now anyways. Ryen Russillo ranted as much on his latest pod, though the discussion did veer towards the end of college football as we've known it. Then again, maybe it's one of those 'as we've known it, never really was?'Take the entire BCS era... & what a near joke that was. I dunno, maybe some divided coastal thing like NFC/AFC AL/NL thing where geography mixes - I think as much about the money, AD's want some cheat codes to help parity with recruiting... which of course, money is the bottom line there also. I feel bad for the likes of Oregon & Washington, among others, who've built credible honorable football programs... now have to scrape for leftovers. Anyways, I posted earlier my North/South/Atlantic/Pacific alignment above. Are we shamefully destined for UEFA style CL where everything funnels for Alabama like they do Real Madrid, & if they're not winning, the whole thing is broken?? lols

Notre Dame is a different animal. They have a nationwide following. Any conference would mess their pants to have them but the Irish love their independence. But I think the writing is on the wall. The mega conferences could freeze them out in scheduling and force them into a conference.

I'll miss late night Saturdays with the best games of the entire day. At the very least, hopefully this is the slippery slope to full geographic scorched earth alignments. The PAC hasn't been that competitive in football. One team, Oregon in 2014, have made the playoff.
The conference jumping isn't over yet. The SEC wants four ACC teams, Miami, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech. That creates huge rivalry games every year, Georgia-Georgia Tech, Clemson-South Carolina, the Florida teams playing each other. Also give the SEC two more huge TV markets, Miami and Atlanta. The big XII wants four PAC teams, the Arizonas, Utah and Colorado. Makes sense geographically, makes a big rivalry, BYU-Utah, two big TV markets, Phoenix and Denver. That will kill the PAC. The B10 say they don't ant any more schools but they would grab Oregon (Portland TV) and Washington (Seattle TV). The rest, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State would be fucked. Maybe the ACC could grab them, making the "Frequent Flyer Conference". Or they downgrade to the Mountain West.
