    Super Conferences

    Do we assume that the dust will settle only after there are at least 4 Super Conferences. When all this started I thought it would end up with four 16 team conferences - 64 teams in total - a nice round number. If it does end up that way are UCONN and Cinci already on the outside looking in? Are there any other higher profile schools be in a similar situation as UCONN and Cinci?

    See the link below:

    "Louisville was always considered a logical candidate for the Big 12, as it would give West Virginia a geographic partner. The looming question is whether Big 12 presidents feel pressure to expand from 10 schools now that the Pac-12 (12), SEC (14), ACC (14) and Big Ten (14) are all significantly bigger."

    That is 64 schools there -do they consolidate into 4 conferences or too much brand equity in each of the 5 to dissolve one? Do they look for another 6 schools and make it five 14 team conferences or does the law of diminishing returns kick in right now at 64 or is not necessary to have each of the "Super Conferences" have the same number? Does Texas say enough - we're good with 10?

    In any event, get the disgusting $ grab over with so the rest of the world can plan accordingly.
