Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 39960, member: 430"] Logically what you say makes sense. The big question now is whether the latest Big East model is viable and if they will retain their BCS status long-term. That would push the total of teams in an AQ conference at around 90. If that happens, the have not's become a much smaller minority and the scenario you lay out I would think would gain even more traction. I'd be willing to bet that if it's 6 AQ conferences, that after the dust settles, the remainder will either be in the MAC, a similar conference out west, or will step down a level. I can't see how the Sun Belt schools or lower tier schools in the WAC/MWC/CUSA survive in that landscape. I've never looked into it but I'd be curious to see if the Sun Belt football programs are even profitable under the current landscape. [/QUOTE]
