With OU and UT off to SEC its time to bust up the Big12, ...I reflected logical moves of its remaining members, reset each of these four to 16 teams/8 teams per division, and Voila its a new Power 4 with 48 teams fairly grouped by area, rivalry etc.

Thoughts about the above Power 4?

And still no Cincinnati. I love it.

Greg Sankey has read the book, “The Club,” so maybe he is ready for one Super-conference with promotion and relegation:

The Houston Cougars were the most likely to promote to power 5, just a few years ago,  and now its Cincy. But, I don't see this realignment as a time of "lets promote littler guys to the club" ...

....its more about Power 5ers in Big12 preserving their status and $ flow by going to another power conf.

My efforts above still left K state, BYU and all the power conf wannbabes (AAC, Mountain West, etc,) out of the mix

...because the wealth is congealing not disbursing the Power 5 is more likely to contract to 4 than to bring in "expansion" teams
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
