Conference Realignment


With so many rumors flying around regarding conference realignment, I have decided to release my ultimate solution. Four power conferences, each starting their own television networks, and essentially leading to the most baddass playoff system in sports. As a fan of college sports, as well as an employee of a BCS conference athletic program, I have taken into account a few things while realigning the conferences: Current BCS Status, Rivalries, TV Markets, Success, Location, and competition.
