Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5022289, member: 628"] Once upon a time, conferences largely existed to make scheduling easier. And since they were all geographically logical, and had like-minded schools as members, it made sense to organize that way. Obviously those days are long gone, and conferences exist now almost solely as corporate, media negotiation entities. Without question the most sensical thing to do at this point is to split football off into a Super Duper FBS League with 60-70 members. Then let schools re-organize into new conferences for all of their other sports. Or create sport-specific leagues like exist for hockey (and flourish). It makes no sense whatsoever to have these bloated all-sports conferences anymore. Which means the dopes who run college sports will no doubt triple-down on that. Because college sports is run by reactive idiots. [/QUOTE]
