Should Conferences Become Uniform?
Should conferences, at least in football and possibly basketball, have the same number of members? Same number of conference games? All have Conference Champion Game? No Independents? Thoughts?

with the changing landscape of college sports. they have thrown that all away in the pursuit on mega conferences and money and tv markets.

I think it should, but with the way things are, that won't happen.

I'm more in favor of all conferences having 12 members with the 9 conference games; for power-5 conferences (power-6 with how I wish it would be), one non-conference game against a power opponent.
Re: Should Conferences Become Uniform?
A better question might be will the Power 5 conferences break away from the NCAA for football and form their own governing and rule making body,

I don't know of any re-alignment that is set to change this year,or next= has anybody else heard anything different. as crazy is it's been I think they have it kinda all sorted out now.

Re: Should Conferences Become Uniform?
Only things announced are Coastal Carolina (FCS) transitioning to FBS in 2016 and will be independent for a year before joining the Sun Belt in 2017, Sun Belt would have 12 teams and a potential championship game if they keep Idaho and New Mexico St as football-affiliates leaving the Big 12 as the only FBS conference without a championship game, UAB back to C-USA when they get their football team back in 2017, and UMASS leaving the MAC for FCS in 2016, was only football-affiliated in MAC. Nothing major unless you're a huge fan of Sun Belt teams.
