Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 2597493, member: 3609"] Slive caught the NCAA totally flat-footed with the expansion of the SEC to 12 teams. The championship game rule was passed for a lower division conference in PA in order to come up with a fair and equitable way to determine who got their bid to the NCAA playoffs. The NCAA leadership never expected a D-1A conference to expand to 12 teams, so they never limited it to just D-1AA, D-2, and D-3. Slive noticed there was no limitation and got the presidents to go along with the expansion. Everyone knows about the conference realignment chaos that ensued when the popularity of the SEC championship game took off. [/QUOTE]
