Who knows what will happen, but of programs like Ohio State and Alabama and Texas wake up one day and decide the programs like wake forest and Boston College, etc. are not worth it, then they may take this thing to a 4 x 12 model. They may decide to take it to a 4 x 16 model, wherein those schools would probably just be safe, obviously except for one of them.
Either way, things probably will settle down at least until 2023, unless Texas and Oklahoma, in particular, get uppity.

I wonder...would the real football schools actually want to jettison the mostly guaranteed Ws? Who would they schedule homecoming games against? I say that only half in jest. But if they are going to play 12 regular season football games, do their fans really want all 12 to be against teams that could beat them on a given Saturday? Or do they want to know that their team is probably going have 6 almost guaranteed wins, and then if they go 3-3 against the better teams on their schedule, rah rah, they are 9-3 and get to a nice bowl game. Of course, some coaches are getting fired now after 9-3 seasons.

Schools like UConn, Cincinnati, USF, et al., will not get into a "power" conference. All of this investing and spending will prove one day to be a colossal waste of time, energy and resources, and demoralize all of their fan bases immensely. The question then would become how long would a school continue to spend blindly until someone (or some organization) tells them they no longer can.

I have no sympathy for any of the former BE Brethren-mainly cause other than cheating-_ss S'cuse, I don't know much about the rest. May they run out of wetwipes and their hemorrhoids flair up hourly down in hell. It isn't pretty watching big name schools slut themselves out for a new F5 buck, but it is what it is.
Waited 35+ years for the Jays to make it to Bigtime Hoops. Glad I have lived long enough to have finally seen it. Now, on to the bizness at hand. I want my Big East Championships damnit! Let's Go Blue!
Did I mention that I am/We are Glad to be here - Proud to Serve! Luv ya BEAST, just down right luv ya.
