Let's do it. Go Tigers! I like your take on the 12, 14, 16 picks. Make a lot of sense. You have all 4 time zones. I think you need two divisions to help with travel. Pacific/Mountain, and Central/East.
I've heard the ADs say they want to focus on regionality. The problem is there are limited teams available, so I think they go for Texas schools and Memphis. The TV package won't be earth-shattering, so I think they keep the team count low to maximize payouts.
Love the analysis. I think the one issue I have is that schools like App State and Liberty are not really strong brands but are more weak conference dominators. If you took those programs out of their existing conferences and put them in this new Pac-12 I think they would never sniff a conference title and their brand appeal would diminish because they are no longer winning 8-9+ games a year in a much harder conference. I think the focus should be more on markets and brands with broader appeal.
ACC will disitigrate in February. 7 to 9 of those teams will be consumed by big 12, B10, and SEC. If pack adds tulane, Memphis, and USF, they will be in a position to receive calford, SMU, and any other ACC rejects. BC, Syracuse, Wake, and anyone else left behind. They would have a west wing and an east wing. And about 16 to 18 teams
