    My concept to the AFL 2, the national second tier to the Australian Football League. The four best teams would be promoted to the AFL while the last four teams would be relegated to the AFL 2. It's Australian rules football time!.

     

    Aspley Hornets

    Broadbeach Rams

    Canberra Demons

    Clarence Kangaroos

    East Perth Royals

    Fitzroy Vipers

    Labrador Beacons

    Lauderdale Raptors

    North Adelaide Angels

    Northern Rangers

    Northern Territory Thunder

    Port Melbourne Vultures

    South Adelaide Panthers

    Southport Sharks

    Sturt Double Blues

    Sydney University Nittany Lions

    West Adelaide Bloods

    West Perth Seahawks

    An AFL2 without Williamstown? You are crazy.

    Those 3 teams are all that was left of GNAC football after Azusa Pacific dropped it back in December and Concordia Portland was killed by the Missouri Synod.  The general dearth of D II football teams in the Western US (there are NO Cali teams left at that level) makes for some weird outcomes at this level.  Apparently there was a pre-existing scheduling alliance, and the RMAC is comparatively full.

    Concordia Portland never sponsored football. It was Humboldt State that canned football.

    Yeah, there was that 6 month run of being THE FUN NETWORK! and then they shifted gears to become the place for even hotter takes than ESPN. NBCSN could've been that alternative around the time they were on that hot streak landing the EPL and NASCAR, but missing out on other contracts and then NBC Sports deciding to commit suicide by getting rid of NBCSN and then kinda giving up on putting on an effort on everything besides SNF once they lost the NHL contract happened.

     

    Complete aside, I don't think it's hit anyone just yet about the absolute duopoly ESPN and Turner are going to have with winter sports with this NHL deal. NBA? ESPN and TNT. NHL? ESPN and TNT. Almost every meaningful college hoops game from championship week onward? ESPN and Turner (plus CBS). It's going to become a lot more apparent once football season's over and done with.

    FS1 and the Big East think you're a loony

    I will gladly welcome WVU to the ACC. if the Big XII falls apart.

     

    Seriously though, :censored: the SEC and it's greed. I hope this crap backfires horribly on everyone and the sport (and other major revenue sports) can realize their mistakes and return to some alignments that make actual geographical sense and don't just help the blue bloods.

    Yep, this is just phase one of the SEC's attempt to

    I think NBC has done a pretty good job with their non-NFL sports so it’s too bad they’re losing them all (except shunting EPL to a pay service lol). I hope American Ninja Warrior and auto auctions do well for them instead.

    If the Premier League escapes, there will be more than just a few executives whose heads are going to roll.

    So is there any update on which teams will exist in 2021, in which leagues and with which parent clubs? I saw an Article from Johns Hopkins suggesting, for example, that at High-A Wilmington is moving to the Eastern League, Frederick Is folding, Charleston, Columbia, Augusta and Asheville are joining the Carolina League, amd Daytona and Florida of the Florida State League are folding. Another is somewhat similar but there the Article suggests that the Florida State and California Leagues drop to Low-A, the Sally League ceases to exist and is replaced by a Mid-Atlantic Low-A league and High-A is compromised of Sally-heavy Carolina League (adding Asheville, Augusta, Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Hickory, Rome, and Tennessee from the Southern League) with only Fayetteville, Winston-Salem and Myrtle Beach as holdovers, along with a revamped Midwest League and Northwest League. 

    I did a realignment that borrowed from both ideas, read below:
