:censored: :bangin: I know, I know it's a realignment post. :wub:

Post in response to rising fuel cost & effect on travel budgets.

It took a while, but I finally fixed college football. No need to thank me.

I rearranged the conferences so that the geography somewhat made sense. 120 Division 1-A schools are spread among 10 conferences. In most cases, teams could take buses to more than half their conference games.

Clemson

Duke

East Carolina

That would definately constitute a "Pipe Dream" for some.

5 weeks of playoffs?

That would never work...

That's way too many. 10 conference champs and 6 at-large bids, 4 round playoff.

Let's just buld an NCAA D1-A football stadium, fill it and call our own shots! Right? :blink:

Damn, if this economy is working against the above mentioned goal, but hopefully it will also turn around and we will still get the right stadium for a school projected to be #2 in size only behind UT in the future. Hopeully, our present UNT administrative staff will leave behind a stadium as one of their legacies with that thought in mind.

GMG!
