If I was the czar of college football…
So as I got to thinking, since it is the offseason and time for some crazy thoughts. Why not blow up the BCS and while we are at it, the entire landscape of college football?
Here’s what I have in mind if President Obama made me the czar of college football:
1) Close up membership. There are 120 programs playing football at the Div-I level. I’ll eschew the use of FCS in describing these programs since it is a BCS term and I am abolishing the BCS. Sorry Delaware. The 120 works out perfectly for what I am about to do in the next step. Besides many of these programs stink and we really don’t need to be adding more.
2) Take the 120 teams and form 12 new conferences comprising of 10 teams. Why 12 ten team leagues and not 10 twelve team leagues you ask? Well the schedule works out perfectly in 10 team leagues. Each team would play 9 conference games and have 3 left for their OOC slate. No odd schedules here.
Now I’m not talking about keeping the same power conferences. Say good-bye to the Pac 10, the SEC, ACC, Big 10 (which obviously can’t count higher than that), Big 12, and Big East. Say hello to balance.
