How Much Different Would Have Proactiveness the Last Time We Had Conference Realignment Made a Difference?

 To be fair, what makes me madder than a Wet Hen is we weren't Proactive Last Conference Realignment Round. That would have included the Notre Dame for Nebraska (Nebraska would be even more Upset than they are Now) and Boise State and Hawaii for Utah and Colorado, which the latter ruined the Pac 12 Conference.

We would have had runs of Big XII Championships like High School, it would have not exempted the Big East and Wacky, Wacky WAC's End, either. It would have lent for a Mountain West Texas and a Mountain West Mountain Division, which would have been the presumption if SMU, Houston and Rice where to go along with TCU.

What the ACC would have changed up is evading Maryland leaving by making Army-Navy a Conference Game and Syracuse and Pitt Members. The Big East Members would have made a Survivor League with Temple and UCF called the Eastern 8.

It would have been wilder and changed who won, for sure. The boogeyman in the room is we would have been stuck in Bad or Shattered Marriages.  It would not have been pleasant for Idaho, San Jose State, Nevada, Fresno State, Utah State and New Mexico State as they would have banded together with others, such as Liberty and UMass to be the Independent Conference and having a Prorated 2020 would have equaled No Football because UMass didn't play and San Jose State would have never finished undefeated.

The cloying awareness of the Lack of Proactivitity is flooring and Liberty would not have been hairs away from an Ill Gotten Undefeated, either. I would have been the College Football Poll and Playoffs before it was Fashionable, and I've even wanted to go as far as Consolidating the Championship for the Sport.

New Mexico State still would have had their Bowl Hex burn out the School and Every Single Discussion around Las Cruces.

The MEAC Dissolution would break Open Conference Realignment

It would not be a pretty picture, and I would think the MEAC Dissolution would break open Conference Realignment. Other than inviting City or State Championships (LSU vs. Southern, LSU vs. Grambling) or inviting the Power Counterpart to the HBCU on Martin Luther King Day, I would believe that especially in the South Atlantic, it would be a license to start the conference.

One of my many tropes in the Commissioner Classic Series is bring up matchups that would not have happened, would have never happened, big matchups, revivals and  International Matchups with actual International Colleges. I would think that the ACC would have a very rude breakup later on.

It would involve Florida State and Georgia Tech being in the SEC to keep a Conference Championship Game and I would say for Florida State, having to start every year with Florida A and M and Miami (FL). It would be big to have Florida host Miami (FL) in the Swamp on Labor Day Weekend.

Florida State- Florida A and M would be more believable than the usual SWAC-MEAC Challenge that would be lost under lightning. I would say if Southern came across town to LSU, it would be one thing, but, if LSU came on down to Mumford Stadium, it would be a pure sellout.

It would be the difference between Michigan making the trek to Eastern Michigan and having another Band Day annually. I would think it would make it easier to have the White Whale Game or the White Whale Upset every year, and that would make a difference to South Florida's Existence upsetting Miami or Virginia Tech or UConn or Rutgers's Existence too.

I would think the chance for the Playoffs would change certain things on the schedule, and not having to choose between the Division II Playoffs or a Rivalry Week. I would feel like where the difference between a Rice or a UTEP having to Homecoming their Rivals again would mean at least another IAA or HBCU filling in the key blanks in the Purported South Central Conference.

How Would A Conference USA/Sun Belt Stock Sale Work?

I would look at a Conference USA/Sun Belt Merger as a Stock Sale, because neither of them would sell stocks and secondly, it would be a stock sale because 22 Members would be too big for a Conference. The reason I would call it a Stock Sale would be partially because there is no other good way to say this.

There is discontent brewing in the member ranks of both Conferences Schools and the fact Rice would want their Equals later and having UTEP-New Mexico-New Mexico State as Conference Games later would not be lost here. 

This would aggravate Conference Realignment and having to need a Super Conference Realignment Day like 2003. It would go down eras of the Internet we where more adjusted for than what we are and I feel like it is flooring as a fan that there'd be plans later to consolidate the current day FCS Division into the FBS Fold.

I have been saying that for years and to make it worse, I feel like North Dakota State's Runs have glared over the need for a Single Division I Football or better than that, College Football the Sport to be Whole in crowning a National Champion.

Boise State has tried to get out of the Mountain West and that would make it easier with a Consolidated Division I and BYU has tried to get Utah last in the West again annually to no avail and that would be having to uproot Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado in the Process along with Utah later.

You'd have to sell DePaul Blue Demons College Football as Much as the City of Chicago

I feel like my feelings on if DePaul Blue Demons College Football restarted tomorrow, you'd have to sell DePaul as much as the City of Chicago. I don't know if the Current Day Big Ten would have realignment, but, hypothetically, having a Super Realignment Day with the emphasis on the Super.

I would think there'd have to be a strong enough strategy for Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland and Penn State's Buyouts or Buyout Strategy. It would come down to DePaul or Marquette to being the Conference's 12th Member.

It would get tricky because you have not had a new to Division IA Membership in 8 Conferences in the Last 5 Seasons, which all 5 have been the Playoffs. I would be led to think that Marquette would be the 12th because not just my Classmate's Older Sister, who is powerful in her own right, and wanting to tie a Milwaukee expedition into the Conference and having a Marquette- DePaul Labor Day Weekend Rivalry would shake the Apple Cart with Annual Anticipated Games in the Midwest just on Labor Day Weekend.

I am not a good salesman, not even having to keep the Weekend and the Weekday Versions of me without one bleeding into the other like a transfusion , but, I feel like there should be a find your way back as a culture. I would think where DePaul would fit in is with the Directional Illinois (Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western), Illinois State, Bradley, Illinois-Chicago, Loyola Chicago and Chicago State.

I would think half the programs in the Lincoln State Conference would have a remarked advantage just because they'd have Football and I would feel like DePaul should have Football as an Insurance Policy and Chicago State would have Football just to save their School from like minded Chicago State's and that would not keep them from being consolidated.

There is reason why I would stick my neck out for Marquette more, even though I personally have no material or emotional good or worth in that school or Milwaukee, because I would feel like I would want to see an American Revolution and the Wisconsin State Fair would be likelier between Madison and Milwaukee dead center, which that would be a better selling point on a true Rural State Fair in the Midwest like it was Missouri.

What would be a Likelier South Central and South Atlantic Conferences

I feel that there is disgruntlement if not full bore discontent in both the Sun Belt and the Conference USA. Even if we broke the Conference USA and Sun Belt in two, it would not be viewed as a revolution and the only thing we would get in the South Central Conference would be New Mexico State and they would want New Mexico in Line and UTEP would be holding the phone in wanting New Mexico and New Mexico State.

What it would achieve in a South Central Southwest Division would be New Mexico State, UTEP, UTSA, Texas State, North Texas and Rice being in the same division and we would get UTSA and Texas State as a league game, but, little else good would happen as Rice would want to be with their legacy rivals instead.

In the South Central Southeast Division would be Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Monroe, Louisiana Lafayette, Southern Miss and Western Kentucky and their would have to be regional reciprocation of Non Conference Rivalries and that would mean nobody would have a Plus Wins lead on their board, but, the likelier scenario would be merging their Division IAA FCS Counterparts instead into the Playoff Fold.

In the South Atlantic Conference, the West Division would be Middle Tennessee State, UAB, Georgia State, Georgia Southern, FIU and FAU and the East Division would be Coastal Carolina, Appalachian State, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Liberty and Marshall. I don't know if having to start out with a Super Conference from the start with 10 Year Money would work better closer to the Atlantic, but there would be pratfalls with the MEAC and the ACC going haywire and that could happen.

We would need a Super Conference Realignment Day similar to 2003 and that would still have to happen and I don't want to incur rehashes just for rehashes sake, but, a lot of it would have to again involve revivals, true expansions, HBCU and IAA.

Why not strengthen the push for Conference Realignment?

I feel like I have been stirred up for good reason for Conference Realignment even before this Blog came up in 2016. I feel as if we where to take consideration for the Roadmap, we'd have more Western United States Conferences.

Tarleton State and Dixie State become Division I Members 90 Days from Tomorrow and that is No Joke! Speaking of considerations, what would we have?

I feel that in considerations, we would have the Current Day Pac 12 be Smaller and a true Pacific Conference, and Notre Dame either getting DePaul or Marquette in the Current Day Big Ten. It would have to involve Georgia Tech and Florida State in the SEC just to call their In State Rivalries in Conference.

There would be a lot of pulling teeth among alignments, and that would include Florida A and M and Bethune Cookman in the SWAC, Boise State having to be with their In State Counterparts, and we'd have a more structured Division I.

The Only Good Way to Change the Big XII Conference Name is to End the Conference

I feel like for future reasons, the only good way to change the Big XII Conference Name is to end the Conference. For a myriad of reasons, it will always be factious and I feel their Big Ten Counterparts outlying in Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers and Nebraska would need a sweet, sweet buyout.

The only good way I'd bring it up would be having to slate key Conference Games or Crossover Games in the Future. I think for the Names 25th Birthday, the only thing is certain in not having much of a future to stand on.

Sports Business would be a mess, and that would include getting annual or multi annual games back on again. The sense, for no real lack of trying, would be trying to keep key customs (Texas-OU in Dallas-Fort Worth) and as a Conference Season Starter.

And, the 12 in the Southwest 12 would have to be Arkansas having to be pulled home from the SEC. I think it would be haphazard, especially with potential ACC-MEAC Split Leagues, but, I feel like the future would need to be brought up.

Would St. Thomas vs. MIAC lead to exploration of New Conferences?

I feel there isn't anything good in St. Thomas vs. the MIAC other than taking advantage of Soft or No Leadership. I feel like instead of settling it out like adults, it becomes a Media Speciality Fest instead.

I probably think between Division II and the Contempary NAIA, I would see the Dubuque Colleges (Loras, Dubuque and Clarke), St. Ambrose, The County (Coe and Cornell) and the City (Mount Mercy) of the Cedar Rapids Linn County Triangle and Grinnell fill a Conference.

I don't know how/when Iowa Wesleyan will stay in school. It is not just to pay phenom money and not expect the returns back, as I feel like wanting to see anything tangible.

What I'd see in any off event is the Sport Championship (College Football or Other College Sports) Pipeline into One True National Champion. I'd think any event, Conferences would have to stay between 8 and 12 minimum to maximum just to set the Conference.

I don't think it would necessarily be a Keep (Your School) in 1st Nationally Competition, but, it could be that way.

Is Rice Smaller than it Really Is?

With my 20th Postseason being this Winter, and I feel Rice is smaller than it really is in spite of recent successes. And, I feel there has to be more of an effort of having Rice's Traditional Rivals back on line again.

It would make it easier to replace Rice Stadium in the future, and the constant jangling of Conference Realignment would not be constant. And, with this day being a bone of contention, with having to get hands-on with Conference Realignment sooner rather than later, I feel this is a meaningful discussion.

And, I feel we'd need to focus on Conference Realignment to avoid Northern Iowa getting Duty Taxed, to avoid having to keep running certain programs, and to encourage attendance and new College Sports Programs.

And, I feel that sense has to happen. And, I feel what would such an outlet make if it exists?

BYU and White Whales: Let's Have the End of Season Holy War Instead

It drives me crazy that for starters, BYU has to control the dialogue as far as ending Conference Realignment or at least starting new Conferences. 1st, if it is not them, Gonzaga looking for a Way to Restart College Football. 2nd, if it is not BYU, the Western Athletic Conference Folding, causing a wholesale littany of moves coast to coast.

And, I feel these are moves begging for action, or a 2003 Supersummit. And, I feel on my table, we'd have a Pac 8 like the 1970s or a Pac 10 again with Hawaii and Boise State instead of Arizona and Arizona State. And, to be fair, I am thinking New Mexico State has to be pulled into the fold.

And, it has to pull back into Business Decisions of Utah and BYU, where the next contracts take imminent priority. People want the End of Season Holy War be End of Season and I don't find it fair or fun why we don't have it.

Certainly, we'd have to account for Consolidations, Demises and New Schools, and to be frank about it, it would be easier to keep legacies if we had anything to start out with. And, I feel the White Whales of Rivalry Week can't be substituted like they are disposable.
