Whether we like it or not, it's going to happen. I blame Vince McMahon for starting this era of acquiring the competition and taking all of the best talent and putting it into one organization. We see Disney acquiring ESPN and ABC. Larger banks have acquired all the smaller banks to create "Super Banks". We used to see really strong independent teams in college sports, but it only made sense for them to parter with a conference as conferences began dominating the independent teams.

It was inevitable to happen in college sports where everything is so renationalized. It limits the cinderella stories for the little conferences. It was always great to brag about your conference when beating another conference. Now, the conferences will ultimately become 4-6 team divisions and the bragging rights will be fans of teams from their division against the other divisions.

But guys, what this is all leading to is a playoff system. So, as we progress to 6-8 conferences, you will now have the opportunity to create conference champions who now advance to a playoff and ultimately a SINGLE and legit national champion. Today, with having so many conferences, you have too many hands in the pot. The current system of having so many strong conferences will never allow for a playoff. So for me, I can give up the idea of having more region conferences as long as the Super Conferences are set up to create a National Champion through a playoff system.
