Are College Football Superconferences Dumb?

to push the summer of 2010 to expand the BCS-automatic qualifying conference 8-12 team size to 16 teams super-konferenciji.Ideja to 16 teams super conference is worth more television partners such as ESPN, Comcast and Fox of the two 8 team conferences will be worth odvojeno.PAC-12 (former PAC-10) put the ball in motion by aggressively courting Texas and Oklahoma, and ultimately settling for Colorado and Utah, Big Ten at the same time added Nebraska. Shortly thereafter, PAC-12 signed a $ 3 billion 12 years TV contract with Fox and ESPN, and it seemed that some ideas of faith conference expansion. However, there is a sense that it deals with TV-they simply underestimated in the past few years and even had a PAC-12 is expanded, to get rich in business. Utah had previously earned less than $ 2 million annually as part of the Mountain West Conference and Colorado earned about $ 9 million per year in the Big XII. They are now going to be about $ 21 million annually. In addition the school netted the PAC-12 conference that much more money? Probably not.

twelve schools football conference is the ideal size. This allows schools to play all the 5 other teams in the division and 3-4 crossover team to another division. This guarantees that they will play in any school in your conference at least every other year. If you go to 16 teams, you will have a 7-division opponents and a maximum of 2 crossover games. There will be teams that you see only once in four years. This is ridiculous. How are the teams in the same conference, and if you never play them? WAC in 1996 was the original superconference with Utah, BYU, Colorado State, Air Force, Wyoming, Hawaii, San Diego State, utepa, UNLV, TCU, SMU, Rice, Tulsa, Fresno State, San Jose State and New Mexico. It is a failure, which resulted in 8 of the older members leaving to form the mountain West. They claim excessive travel costs, reducing the traditional rivalry and history, as well as 16 teams to spread the revenue around with.

PAC-12 is likely to have the most potential superconference fragmented strukture.PAC-12 looking down at the school the mountains of the West, which consists of geographically because of its existing footprint and is more likely to target Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Missouri, Kansas and the Big XII. This will result in bringing the schools that are very different geographically and culturally, and perhaps of their existing members of the school. It will also move Arizona and Arizona State in the Eastern Division and separate them from the school played against since 1978.

Currently there are about 110 Division I FBS schools and several schools in the pipeline to move gore.Potencijalni superconference commissioners seem to think that four teams superconferences 16 will be elevated to a new order of the upper division. This will leave behind a 50-60 school. Is the television pie will be bigger for hitting a school of 50-60? Are the schools lucky enough to be in the SEC, as the PAC-16 or Big Ten (16) much better than everyone else? Is it fair to West Virginia, Boise State, Kansas State, and Fresno State probably will not make the cut, but Vanderbilt, Washington State and Indiana will? Is it really a good thing to crush the Mountain West, ACC and Big East? TCU stated 100% increase in applications due to its success and national exposure in football. Maybe Texas and USC should double their body size to 50-60 students the contraction plan to absorb this demand. College Football superconferences are stupid. But they will happen, sooner rather than later.
