NIL - Texas style

Actually, Wisconsin was in the WCHA until the Big 10 got enough schools involved. Maybe they go back to those old realignments. There's nothing that says it wouldn't work. It did in the past.

It's going to be very interesting.

Gets back to $$. The B1G network does hockey so can’t see that changing. Conference networks changed the business model forever. Conferences like the Big East complicate things a bit, so do smaller conferences that need that revenue stream.

Might all come down to governance and how much power each entity agrees on. I can see the NCAA becoming more of an administrative entity than one with enforcement. Delegate enforcement to conferences with specific guardrails that tie revenue to compliance.

I think you missed what I was saying. Take hockey. There are 7 Big 10 teams in the conference. One of the 7 is Notre Dame. They aren't normally a member of the Big 10, but in hockey they are. I'm saying there will be more of this, where teams are realigned in specific sports, not necessarily within the conference they play in. Then there's independents, like Notre Dame, who will want some alliances so they have games to play in various sports.

If the Big 10 does away with East and West alignments, it's all for Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State, because they will dominate the whole show ad nauseum. I don't expect those in the West to show much interest in it happening, and it's possible that a couple in the East would also be opposed.

The way things have been going, why would anyone other than Wisconsin really care about the football season after their 3rd Big 10 game? Most in the West would already be out of it, except in a year where they'd hit pay dirt from recruiting.

Maybe there will be totally realignments based on specific sports. As it is, not all schools in conferences are competitive in all sports. As an example, Wisconsin doesn't have baseball, and Iowa doesn't have hockey. They deal with a work around, but we could actually see conferences made up of teams based on each sport, rather on a total alliance of schools as a conference.

In the end, the whole thing will be about money. It always is. Before this is through, there will be some schools who quit offering scholarship sports, because they won't be competitive, and won't make enough from their media money and game attendance to stay in business.

Yep if crushing the little teams means more $$ in pockets it happens

There will be title games. How they determine teams will be to each individual conference. And actually they don’t all make money

Will be interesting if you get rid of divisons if UW can even finish top 4-5 in B1G anymore.

100% agree West would become bottom feeders of the B1g for most part.

I get your point. All I’m saying is that there’s won’t be much if any revenue going the WCHA route
