I would have been fine with 16. No byes, home games the first two rounds. But the Big 10 wanted the assurance that it would go from 16 to 24 in three years and the SEC said yes to 16 but no to the 24 guarantee. The ACC and Big 12 aren’t allowed to have an opinion and were not consulted. Blow up this whole freaking sport: make players employees, collectively bargain in rules, use the current football conference alignments only for football and stop this garbage of volleyball teams flying cross country. All other sports re-align to geographically logical conferences(ie Cuse, Pitt, BC play all other sports in a new Big East). And the P4 negotiate network football TV deals as one like the NFL and they will all make phat cash. Ok, soapbox is being put away now!
