Internal explo-jizz.

People always talk about breakaway from the NCAA, but all of the school and administrator bigwigs are the NCAA. So, what are they really breaking away from? Unless, the point is they don't want to subsidize the lesser conferences. But, it seems like that will invite lawsuits, congressional scrutiny, and jeopardize the amateur and tax-exempt sham.

Dan Wetzel on Yahoo has said he thinks expansion will die when cable channels go a la carte and ESPN/conferences can't shove their subscriber fees down everyone's throat.

What do y'all eventually think will happen with college football expansion?

conferences will lose their identity. but the money will be really big so the conferences will have to adapt. they will have more than one playoff game to determine the conference champ (like a 4 team pod playoff) before the national playoff.

the big 12 will die and their better teams will join one of the other super conferences. that will leave 4 conferences. somewhere along the line the minor schools will sue and something will have to be done (probably a split from the ncaa by the big football schools).

we'll be looking at some teams playing a 16+ game season.

I feel bad for Baylor and TCU fans because those two schools will be left out of the final superconference alignment.

BYU? I just don't see a conference wanting to deal with them.

At this point, I hope the conference does not expand and then begins a smooth break up / separation in the coming years.

The Pac will never add BYU.
The Big 10 will never add Iowa State.
The SEC will never add Oklahoma State.

The SEC when we expand will get some combination of Oklahoma, Kansas, a North Carolina school (or 2 if Duke + UNC), a Virginia school, and\or West Virginia.

None of the above 3 conferences will ever add a school from a state they already have a member in except in the case of adding UNC + Duke or in the case of taking Texas when already having a Texas school. (or taking Tech with Texas as the Pac will probably do)

I think Texas, Texas Tech, BYU, and Colorado State will go to the Pac 12. I predict that the Big 10 will scoop up Kansas and Iowa State. I believe that the SEC will take Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. I think the ACC will take UConn and West Virginia. Finally, I think the Mountain West and AAC will scoop up the remainder of the Big 12: Baylor, TCU, and Kansas State.

Not a single one of those scenarios will happen.
