Here’s what will eventually happen. A new configuration of the biggest brands that cover football/men’s hoops for major state schools and privates:

Penn State, Pitt, Maryland, Virginia, Va Tech, UNC, NC State, Duke, Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, FSU, Miami, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisville, WVU, Ohio State, ND, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan, MSU, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, KSU, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas, A&M, Tech, Colorado, Utah, BYU, Arizona, ASU, USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, and UW.

52 schools—13 schools in 4 divisions , 12 conference games, 3 OOC games against other teams in the other divisions based on your finish the previous years, plus a playoff system of 16 teams.

For hoops, they’ll add in the Big East schools, along with your Gonzaga’s and others like them.

It probably should be that, but it's never that clean and easy to start something that big.   Mainly because of media and GOR contracts in force with the conferences and non-consistent stop dates.  It's all about the revenue streams!

The only reason the PAC split up so easily was their media contract was ending and they had no Grant of Rights given to the holdovers.  This is what binds the ACC now from having teams leave.  The new MWC just had their remaining teams sign GORs to lock them in from going to the new PAC.
