Step 7 - De-merge the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars (Jags move to Orlando). Step 8 - De-merge the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans (Houston keeps the Oilers name). Step 9 - Return the NFL to its 2002 realignment format (That means the Seattle Seahawks return to the Halas Conference).

Nice. Though, I would keep Syracuse in the ACC, so both that and the Big East would have an even number of teams.

A B1G without Iowa or Purdue? Never in a million years.

I like the NBA D-League idea, but here's what I think AHL's realignment should look like: EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic BridgeportHartfordManchesterPortlandProvidenceSpringfieldSt. John'sWorcesterEast AdirondackAlbanyBinghamtonCharlotteHersheyLehigh ValleyNorfolkWilkes-Barre/ScrantonWESTERN CONFERENCE North Grand RapidsHamiltonLake ErieRochesterSyracuseTorontoUticaWest ChicagoIowaMilwaukeeRockfordOklahoma CitySan AntonioTexas

jlog3000's NBA Realignment plan makes sense.

I have a better 4 Division NHL alignment, in which I would like to call... Scenario D: 32 teams, 4 Divisions EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Northeast Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Pittsburgh Penguins Quebec Nordiques (expansion) Toronto Maple Leafs WESTERN CONFERENCE Central Chicago Blackhawks Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Houston expansion team Minnesota Wild Nashville Predators St. Louis Blues Winnipeg Jets Pacific Anaheim Ducks Calgary Flames Colorado Avalanche Edmonton Oilers Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks Seattle (relocated from Phoenix) Vancouver Canucks

Since there are talks about an NHL Expansion, here are my ideas for a 32-team NHL. Scenario A: Phoenix Coyotes stay put EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Northeast Boston Bruins Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Toronto Maple Leafs Southeast Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Central Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Detroit Red Wings Pittsburgh Penguins WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Chicago Blackhawks Minnesota Wild Nashville Predators St. Louis Blues Northwest Calgary Flames Edmonton Oilers Vancouver Canucks Winnipeg Jets Southwest Colorado Avalanche Dallas Stars Houston expansion team Phoenix Coyotes Pacific Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks Seattle expansion team Scenario B: Phoenix Coyotes move to Seattle EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Northeast Boston Bruins Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Toronto Maple Leafs Southeast Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Central Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Detroit Red Wings Pittsburgh Penguins WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Chicago Blackhawks Minnesota Wild Nashville Predators St. Louis Blues Northwest Calgary Flames Edmonton Oilers Vancouver Canucks Winnipeg Jets Southwest Colorado Avalanche Dallas Stars Houston expansion team Oklahoma City expansion team Pacific Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks Seattle [insert team name here] (relocated from Phoenix) Scenario C: Phoenix moves to Quebec EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Northeast Boston Bruins Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Quebec Nordiques (relocated from Phoenix) Southeast Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Central Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Pittsburgh Penguins Toronto Maple Leafs WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Chicago Blackhawks Detroit Red Wings Minnesota Wild St. Louis Blues Northwest Calgary Flames Edmonton Oilers Vancouver Canucks Winnipeg Jets Southwest Colorado Avalanche Dallas Stars Houston expansion team Nashville Predators Pacific Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks Seattle expansion team

I think Why would you put/name a division the Midwest in the Eastern conference then have a central division in the west? Doesn't seem right. Additionally, some of these alignments are wacky (NY in the same division as Charlotte but not Philadelphia????) I think this would make much more sense: EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Brooklyn Nets New York Knicks Philadelphia 76ers Washington Wizards Northeast Boston Celtics Cleveland Cavaliers Detroit Pistons Toronto Raptors Southeast Atlanta Hawks Charlotte Hornets Miami Heat Orlando Magic Central Chicago Bulls Indiana Pacers Memphis Grizzlies Milwaukee Bucks WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Kansas City (expansion) Minnesota Timberwolves New Orleans Pelicans Oklahoma City Thunder Southwest Dallas Mavericks Houston Rockets Phoenix Suns San Antonio Spurs Northwest Denver Nuggets Portland Trail Blazers Seattle SuperSonics (expansion) Utah Jazz Pacific Golden State Warriors Los Angeles Clippers Los Angeles Lakers Sacramento Kings

While we're at it, here's what a 32-team NHL would look like. EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic New Jersey Devils New York Islanders (Brooklyn) New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Northeast Boston Bruins Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Toronto Maple Leafs Southeast Carolina Hurricanes Florida Panthers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Central Buffalo Sabres Columbus Blue Jackets Detroit Red Wings Pittsburgh Penguins WESTERN CONFERENCE Central Chicago Blackhawks Minnesota Wild Nashville Predators St. Louis Blues Northwest Calgary Flames Edmonton Oilers Vancouver Canucks Winnipeg Jets Southwest Colorado Avalanche Dallas Stars Houston Expansion Phoenix Coyotes Pacific Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings Portland Expansion San Jose Sharks ...or we could always go with a 28-team NHL. EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Carolina Hurricanes New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Northeast Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Pittsburgh Penguins Quebec Nordiques (relocated Phoenix Coyotes) Toronto Maple Leafs WESTERN CONFERENCE Central Chicago Blackhawks Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Minnesota Wild Nashville Predators St. Louis Blues Winnipeg Jets Pacific Anaheim Ducks Calgary Flames Colorado Avalanche Edmonton Oilers Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks Vancouver Canucks Contracted teams Columbus Blue Jackets Florida Panthers

Adding basketball schools when you are a football league is insanely stupid. If Georgetown, Villanova, and St. John's wanted to join the ACC, these things would have to happen: -Georgetown's football program (which is currently in the FCS) would have to upgrade their stadium to FBS standards; same with Villanova. -St. John's would have to relaunch their football program, which they discontinued in 2002. Neither of these things are happening. Villanova was prepared to go FBS, but by the time they finally decided, the Big East took the offer off the table. I think that would be a mistake though. As for the stadium situation, they could share Franklin Field with Penn while deciding what to do about their own stadium (which IMO is not much, because that area can't support the traffic that a big-time program would bring in.) Wasn't Villanova eyeing Phily Union's facility at some point? Yup. If I remember correctly, Villanova once thought about playing at PPL Park, just in case the football program were to move up to the FBS level.

On Option A: I put Kansas City in the AL West so they could renew their rivalry with the Oakland A's. Also, Colorado is in the NL South because the state of Colorado, geographically speaking, is in the SOUTHwestern United States. By the way, I just added Option C, with Cincinnati in the NL South, Colorado in the NL North, and Kansas City in the AL South.

While we're at it, here's my newest MLB realignment idea. Option A: AMERICAN LEAGUE East Baltimore Boston New York Yankees Toronto North Chicago White Sox Cleveland Detroit Minnesota South Charlotte Houston Tampa Bay Texas West Kansas City Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Oakland Seattle NATIONAL LEAGUE East New York Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington North Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Milwaukee St. Louis South Atlanta Colorado Miami San Antonio West Arizona Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego San Francisco Option B: AMERICAN LEAGUE East Baltimore Boston New York Yankees Toronto North Chicago White Sox Cleveland Detroit Minnesota South Houston Kansas City Tampa Bay Texas West Arizona/Colorado Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Oakland Seattle NATIONAL LEAGUE East New York Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington North Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Milwaukee St. Louis South Atlanta Charlotte Miami San Antonio West Arizona/Colorado Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego San Francisco Option C: AMERICAN LEAGUE East Baltimore Boston New York Yankees Toronto North Chicago White Sox Cleveland Detroit Minnesota South Houston Kansas City Tampa Bay Texas West Las Vegas Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Oakland Seattle NATIONAL LEAGUE East New York Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington North Chicago Cubs Colorado Milwaukee St. Louis South Atlanta Cincinnati Miami San Antonio West Arizona Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego San Francisco Option A looks odd with Colorado in the NL South and K.C. in the AL West. Options B or C would most likely work.

If (and when) Major League Baseball expands to 32 teams... AMERICAN LEAGUE East Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Toronto Blue Jays North Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Minnesota Twins South Charlotte expansion franchise Houston Astros Tampa Bay Rays Texas Rangers West Kansas City Royals Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners NATIONAL LEAGUE East New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Washington Nationals North Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers St. Louis Cardinals South Atlanta Braves Colorado Rockies Miami Marlins San Antonio expansion franchise West Arizona Diamondbacks Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants

It would make more sense for Denver, Colorado and Sports Authority Field at Mile High to host the MWAC Championship Game.

Fixed it.
