With all of the talk about conference realignment and teams jumping from historical geographical conference affiliations, what are your thoughts about this type of relegation idea:

SEC - Conference USA
ACC - Sun Belt
Big 10 - MAC
Pac 12 - MWC
Big 12 - American

The last place team over a 2 year stretch from one of the P5 conferences is relegated to their partner G5 conference, while the top team in that same time period from the G5 conference moves up to the P5 partner.

I love the idea of relegation with pro sports but college is different. It is tough to do with recruiting and early draft entries. College teams can't really choose their roster or just pay more money for better players (A&M excluded). It would be tough to a school to recruit after being relegated.

It’d be entertaining, but it’ll never happen.

No power conference team would agree to it.

While relegation would give more meaning to games for lower tier schools, allowing teams to work their way up and down, I think it would be bad for the sport. What sells college football is its regionalism and traditional rivalries, two things that relegation would likely endanger.

Is 2 years really enough to build a G5 program into one that will compete with a P5 program? Won’t we just be sending them back down every two years?
