To add to the above:

Sixteen is works best.  No byes, no dispute on teams 11 and 12.  By the tine you get to teams 15 and 16, who cares?  If the limit is eight, teams 7, 8, 9, and 10 are a real discussion.

As for the B1G, they want guarantees to cover the costs of the past decade of largesse, a.k.a. Rutgers' disease - wherein a school thinks themselves so great that t hey can spend endless amounts of cash to upgrade all athletics facilities, pay coaches and players, and increase staffs to the point it appears to have more coaches on each team than players; and then the cash will roll in to pay for everything.  The B1G commissioner is a con artist a man who loves money to the point he will sacrifice everything good about universities to bring in more cash.  That is why the B1G needs 24 teams in the playoffs, so the B1G can be guaranteed lots of teams in the playoffs and lots of extra money for Pettiti's and the schools' spending habits.

Pulling football out of the general conference and aligning them regionally is a sound idea.  Pool all the football teams and make them somewhat regional football only conferences, pool lll the TV revenue and share it equally, leaving all other revenue (gate, concessions, parking, merchandise, local stuff, etc.) to each school.  Aside from MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL, who would have thought of this?
