Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 353346, member: 19"] They would obviously want ND to be a full time member at some point. But in reality, they're not adding anyone else because it doesn't make any sense. People are so tied up in the 16 #, that they think everything is some kind of long term plan to get there. Why? What do you gain? An even # divisible by 4? No remainders! Just another mouth to feed that doesn't increase the value enough to pay for itself (like ND does). If ND becomes a full time member (I'm not expecting this in my lifetime, and I would like to think I have a long way to go), why not just stick with 15 teams? Make 3 divisions. I can't imagine the NCAA will throw a fit at still having a conf championship game just because it's not at least 2 divisions of 6 teams each. Two best teams can still play in a Conf Championship, you can make any tiebreaker rules you like. [/QUOTE]
