Mark Emmert: "Change is coming to NCAA"
Posted on 9/23/13 at 3:28 pm

The discussion did touch briefly on whether the NCAA would consider creating a new big-school Bowl Division -- in essence, splitting up the current Division I. A packet distributed at the session called "Principles and Model for New Governance Structure" suggests that FBS institutions and conferences that are more closely aligned in issues and athletics resources form a new division.
Article is about many issues, but using the quote I posted: You control the new alignment/ divisions split. Where would you place LSU? Would you drop any of the currently SEC teams down? Realign for bigger conferences? You are in control. What would you do and how would it affect LSU?
Also, do you pay the players? Change any major agent rules?
Etc.
Geaux.
I know, I know. TL:DR.

Of course LSU would be in the big bowl division.

Fragmenting the current Division I is a myopic idea that will negatively impact the long-term popularity of the sport.

Mark Emmert handing in a resignation would be an excellent start.

I would make 3 or 4 super conferences
Big 10 would have 16
Big 12 would have 16
Pac 12 would have 16
SEC would have 16
maybe you could have a 6 or 8 team playoff winners of these 4 big conferences get automatic bids while the remaining slots go to at large teams.
to fill all these conferences you take teams from the American and ACC and some of the smaller conferences.
I think the best thing to do would be for the SEC to add two ACC teams should be added to the SEC. Keep them in the East and move Mizzouri to the West. That will give 8 for the west and 8 for the east.
Big 10 would most likely suck up most of the American Conference and some from the ACC. I would move Notre Dame to the Big 10. Big 12 would mostly take from some of the smaller conferences in the planes part of the country. Houston could be a team that could be added there.
Pac 12 would also take mostly from their part of the country, Bosie for sure would go there you could add Fresno State, maybe some other teams.
Regions of the country would still have an impact on what teams are in what conference, I think I would move West Virginia to the Big 10 just to fix the geography issue they have now in the big 12.
It would take me to long to split up all the teams but this is my idea behind it.
I may also want to create a couple of big mid major conferences who could get an auto bid if they meet certain requirements, example win the conference and be ranked in the top 5.
LSU wouldn't be affected that much only thing that would change in the schedule is we play mizzou every year, also I would do away with protected rivals and have a 9 game SEC schedule. 7 division games and 2 eastern conference games, rotating schedule against the east 1 away 1 home. In this system you would play each team once every 4 years or twice every 8.
sry for the long post.

I'm not asking if LSU would be in the big bowl division. I'm asking for example:
SEC drops Missouri, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky. Drop some teams from big 12. Merge. Make the division 1 league 64 teams with x amount of conferences. Each conference having 2 divisions.
Something like that.

Cajuns have nothing to do with this thread and yet here it is. You should start charging rent for the space UL occupies in your head.

I don't agree. I don't understand the point of having so many schools with no even remotely realistic shot of winning a NC. I think every school in a division of a sport should have at least a theoretically realistic shot of 'winning it all.'

That's the critical thinking I was looking for. I want everyone to play NCAA dictator for a second and decide how you would shape college football.
Posted on 9/23/13 at 3:38 pm to sportsaddit68
I'll believe it when I see it.

They do occupy my head. I work with. A die hard ULL fan that is so retarded he can't tie his own damn shoes. All he ever talks about is "UL" He conveniently leaves off the last L. He annoys the frick out of me and I honestly think we'd have to put him suicide watch if this happened.

I like what you said but if we're gonna go all out with this kind of system we should just go ahead and olay 10 conference games.

I would think schools on that rung would actually be happy with this, if they thought about it logically.
Wouldn't competing for an actual legitimate national title be better than competing for nothing more than a New Orleans Bowl trophy, which is realistically the best a team like that can do at the present time? It's not even meant as a knock on them, it's the facts of the system they are currently in.

Well, there's your problem.

Eight conferences with 9 teams would be the top level.
- No independents (ND).
- High commitment to playing to be one of the 72.
Go back to 11 games (no need to kill these kids).
- Every conference plays 8 game conference schedule.
- Teams can only schedule a game with a lower division rent-a-win once every 3 years.
- Max of 6 home games for any team in a given year (makes teams look for attractive trips/neutral site games)
8-team playoff, open only to conference champions.
- Teams are not drastically punished for the aforementioned OOC road games.
- Higher ranked team hosts first round of playoffs. (Rewards those teams that win those OOC road games.)

What I thought about was
64 teams. 8 conferences. 4 each division. You play 7 conference games. 3 non conference at beginning of year. 10 games right there. Division winners go into playoff. Rank using head to head with other division leader from your conference.
Playoff: 8 higher seeds vs 8 lower divisions. Seeded like a normal playoff.
Pair off your other conference teams not in the playoffs and let them play one more game. Conference 1 west division #3 versus conference 2 west division #3. Something like that. That becomes the gator bowl or something. Every team would play 11 games. Championship team plays 14.

The "Bowl Division" teams will have to schedule all non-conference games WITHIN the Bowl Division; which means the big paydays are OVER for the smaller conference teams.
