No Florida, Carolina, Arizona or Vegas! Only thing I think could be different is swapping Boston with Nashville and renaming them Patrick, Adams, Norris and Smythe.

Moser316 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Over the past few weeks, I came up with a realignment plan for NCAA Division I that is heavier on superconferences than the current alignment. Starting with the FBS Power Five conferences, I decided to put the Big 12 out of its misery and move Maryland back to the ACC, which nets the following (relocated schools in italics): ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE Atlantic Division: Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, North Carolina State, Notre Dame*, Syracuse, Wake Forest Coastal Division: Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia NOTE: Notre Dame maintains independent status for football (because Notre Dame) but keeps its affiliation with the ACC BIG TEN CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers Western Division: Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin PAC-16 CONFERENCE Mountain Division: Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Colorado, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, Utah Pacific Division: California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt Western Division: Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M Among the Group of Five conferences, I decided to break up Conference USA because of the two G5 conferences that are very spread out geographically (AAC and C-USA), the AAC is the stronger conference in athletics and academics. Also, all FBS independents join conferences (BYU and New Mexico State to the Mountain West, Liberty to the Sun Belt, Army to the AAC), Connecticut and Massachusetts drop down to FCS, and Youngstown State moves up to join the Mid-American Conference: AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Army, Central Florida, Charlotte, East Carolina, Navy, Old Dominion, South Florida, Temple Western Division: Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Akron, Buffalo, Kent State, Marshall, Miami (OH), Ohio, Toledo, Youngstown State Western Division: Ball State, Bowling Green State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Middle Tennessee State, Northern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Utah State, UTEP, UTSA, Wyoming Western Division: Boise State, BYU, Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV SUN BELT CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Liberty, Troy Western Division: Arkansas State, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, South Alabama, Southern Mississippi, Texas State At the FCS level, there would be two conferences that enlarge in size for all sports (Big Sky and Southland), and the other conferences would consolidate into larger "alliances" of smaller or non-football conferences. The Big South Conference would be disbanded for football in this scenario (more to come in Part 2). Among the schools that would move up from Division II: Arkansas Tech, Augustana (SD), Central Oklahoma, Central Washington, Colorado School of Mines, Dixie State, Minnesota State, Tarleton State, Texas A&M-Commerce and West Texas A&M. St. Thomas (MN) would also move up from Division III (assuming the NCAA allows them to move directly from D-III to D-!).

Moser316 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 And now for Part 2 of my full-scale NCAA Division I realignment. A couple of notes before we dive right in (all conferences in alphabetical order): In Part 1, I got rid of the Big 12 and Conference USA. To take this further for the all-sport realignment, we are also getting rid of the Atlantic 10, Atlantic Sun, and Western Athletic Conferences. All three of these conferences have a pretty wide geographic spread (especially the WAC and A-Sun), and there are opportunities to create new rivalries and rekindle old ones in larger conferences. One more school not already scheduled for transition moves up from D-II in this scenario: the University of Missouri, St. Louis (joining the Horizon League) All told, 84 of the proposed 325 Division I schools change conferences (nearly a quarter of the total number of schools). Now, onto the changes! AMERICA EAST CONFERENCE Albany, Binghamton, Maine, New Hampshire, Northeastern, Rhode Island, Stony Brook, UMass-Lowell, Vermont Loses Hartford (Northeast) and UMBC (CAA), gains Northeastern (CAA) and Rhode Island (A-10). Five members (Albany, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Stony Brook) are also members of the Eastern Football Alliance, all in the Yankee Division (named after the old Yankee Conference). AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Central Florida, Charlotte, East Carolina, George Mason*, Old Dominion, South Florida, Temple, Virginia Commonwealth* Western Division: Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, Wichita State* *Non-football member Adds four members from C-USA (Charlotte, Old Dominion, Rice and UAB) and two non-football members from the A-10 (George Mason and Virginia Commonwealth to existing eleven-member conference. ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE Atlantic Division: Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Wake Forest Coastal Division: Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia Retains all fifteen conference members, adds Maryland back into the conference from the Big Ten and West Virginia from the Big 12. Notre Dame competes as an FBS independent at the same level as the Power Four conferences, maintaining a partial schedule of ACC schools. BIG EAST CONFERENCE Gavitt Division: Connecticut, George Washington, Georgetown, Massachusetts, Providence, Saint Joseph’s, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Villanova Tranghese Division: Butler, Creighton, Dayton, DePaul, Detroit Mercy, Duquesne, Marquette, Saint Louis, Xavier The Big East is the landing spot for a large share of former A-10 members (Dayton, Duquesne, George Washington, Massachusetts, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Louis) and adds one from the Horizon League (Detroit Mercy) to its lineup of eleven members. Becomes a predominantly Catholic non-football superconference in the process. Four schools (Connecticut, Duquesne, Massachusetts and Villanova) are members of the Eastern Football Alliance, with UConn and UMass in the Yankee Division and Duquesne and Villanova in the Colonial Division. Two schools (Butler and Dayton) are members of the Continental Football Alliance, both are in the Pioneer Division. Georgetown competes in the Atlantic Football Alliance (Patriot Division) for football only. BIG SKY CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Colorado Mines, Dixie State, Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Colorado, Utah Valley*, Weber State Western Division: Cal Poly**, Central Washington, Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State, Southern Utah, UC Davis** *Non-football member **Former football-only member, now all-sport member Keeps all eleven all-sport members, makes former football-only members Cal Poly and UC Davis all-sport members, and adds two schools from the WAC (Dixie State and Utah Valley) and promotes two schools from D-II (Central Washington and Colorado School of Mines).

Five members (Campbell, Charleston Southern, Gardner-Webb, Kennesaw State and North Alabama) are part of the Mid-South Football Alliance, all but North Alabama compete in the Southern Division (UNA is part of the Ohio Valley Division). Two members (Presbyterian and Stetson) compete in the Continental Football Alliance, both schools are in the Pioneer Division. BIG TEN CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers Western Division: Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin Loses Maryland to the ACC but adds Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State to its lineup of thirteen schools as a result of the Big 12’s demise.

Two schools (Marist and Monmouth) are members of the Continental Football Alliance, with Marist in the Pioneer Division and Monmouth in the Northeast Division. MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Eastern Division: Akron, Buffalo, Kent State, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Toledo, Youngstown State Western Division: Ball State, Bowling Green State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Middle Tennessee State, Northern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan Adds three members from the former C-USA (Marshall, Middle Tennessee State, and Western Kentucky) and Horizon League (Youngstown State) to its existing twelve-member conference.

Magnus Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 K. This one may anger a few folks. I've kept 128 teams in the FBS, and organized it into 9 conferences. The former Big 12 becomes the Big Texas Conference, and takes all 12 Texas FBS teams into its fold. Five conferences swell to 16 football-fielding members; the other four conferences field 12 members. The College Football Playoff gets a minor, but in my opinion, very important change. Since currently, six major bowl games are part of the New Year's Six lineup, they all become part of a proper 8-team playoff, which will allow every team in the FBS a (theoretical) shot at winning a national title. I may not watch a lot of NCAA football, but I think it's a travesty that some teams in what is supposed to be the top division of college football can post a perfect season, and yet not be considered national champions simply because other schools have - what - a larger nationwide fanbase? It's a travesty. If a no-name school like Butler can make it to 2 straight NCAA basketball finals, football teams should have the same opportunity. Here's how it breaks down. 4 conferences keep their tie-ins with a particular prestigious bowl game. The BI6 10 and Pacific Conference champs will play in the Rose Bowl. The Mid-South champ will now join the SEC champ at the Sugar Bowl. The New England champ will join the ACC at the Orange Bowl. The remaining quarterfinal bowl game will rotate between the Peach, Cotton, and Fiesta Bowls, with the other two serving as semifinals, as currently happens. The national championship game will proceed as normal - but now, again, theoretically, every team in the FBS will have at least some chance of making a championship run. No more UCF Knights having an undefeated season and not being considered for a premiere bowl game. They're in the playoff if they win their conference. No more Boise State being undefeated, yet ignored in favour of a one-loss Alabama just because "hurr durr national ratings". Win your conference and you're in. That's how it should be. Bama can play in the Bahamas Bowl for all I care. I'm still disgusted that they played a divisional rival for a "national championship" in 2012. That's just stupid. Oklahoma State deserved the #2 spot that year. I know that detractors will now say that not every game matters with this format. You could *theoretically* have a team from one conference go 6-6 in regular season play, win their extremely weak division, and then go on a run of upsets in the conference championship game and subsequent playoff. But perhaps the chances of that could be reduced by eliminating divisions within the conference, and just picking the two teams with the best two records for the conference title game in every conference. Anyway, here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here it is. You clearly do not watch any college football if you did this to the major conferences. Troy, South Alabama, Coastal Carolina etc. are nowhere near on the same level, competitively, as Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ohio State or the rest of the Power Conference schools that you disrespected (figuratively) with this alignment. The "weaker" schools don't have the strength of schedule, ot strength of roster, to compete with the bigger schools. To put it frankly, many of those schools don't actually belong in a division with the power conference schools (yes I know a small school can occasionally beat a big school, but it's a rarity that doesn't defend any argument that can be made). In short, no to your proposal. In my personal opinion. 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Troy, South Alabama et al. will "never win" against the established power schools in their conferences, what's the harm of having them in there, even theoretically? Somebody's gonna have a losing record in a 16-team conference. Tradition, for one thing. The rivalries with these conferences are a staple of college football. Reducing or eliminating them will never fly. Secondly, and most importantly, the bigger, stronger schools playing each other on a regular basis is what strengthens the schedule. Maybe someone who's better at putting it into words can explain it better than I can, but basically, this would never happen. Quite honestly, it may be sacrilege. Possibly even warrant prison time. I'd go into hiding if I were you. Canada may even waive extradition in this scenario, regardless of the punishment. *KIDDING. Just kidding.* IMO, and I have like 50+ plans I've been working on for this, the "power conferences" (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, PAC 12) should be moved to a new division, the top tier of Division I (plus Notre Dame and maybe even some group of five schools like Memphis, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF and Boise State). Take the remaining FBS schools, plus move some up from FCS (Like North Dakota State, South Dakota State, etc.) and make FBS the middle tier between the "Power Division" and FCS. 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use your example, all of the SEC schools are very high-level research universities (Carnegie category R1) in addition to being very strong in athletics. Putting schools like Troy, South Alabama, and Arkansas State into the mix (M1, R2 and R2, respectively) doesn't make sense not just from a competitive standpoint on the field, but in the classroom as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this does make more sense than having 100+ schools in a "top" tier. Wouldn't have to tinker too much with the existing CFP setup either. I'd just like to see every conference champion in a given tier have a shot at a national title - and no undeserving teams that fail to win their conference (but are somehow picked for ratings) taking those spots.

Seadragon76 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Time for another experiment that doesn't fit elsewhere... MLB is talking about expanding the playoff format from 10 to 14 teams in 2022. This has me thinking "What if this format was used in the last decade?" So, here you go. The idea of teams choosing who they want to play in the first round is OUT because it's a stupid idea. Now, let's begin. 2010 American League First Round Bye: (1) Tampa Bay First Round -(7) Toronto at (2) Minnesota -(6) Chicago White Sox at (3) Texas -(5) Boston at (4) New York Yankees National League First Round Bye: (1) Philadelphia First Round -(7) Colorado at (2) San Francisco -(6) St. Louis at (3) Cincinnati -(5) San Diego at (4) Atlanta 2011 American League First Round Bye: (1) New York Yankees First Round -(7) Toronto at (2) Texas -(6) Anaheim at (3) Detroit -(5) Boston at (4) Tampa Bay National League First Round Bye: (1) Philadelphia First Round -(7) Los Angeles at (2) Milwaukee -(6) San Francisco at (3) Arizona -(5) Atlanta at (4) St. Louis 2012 American League First Round Bye: (1) New York Yankees First Round -(7) Anaheim at (2) Oakland -(6) Tampa Bay at (3) Detroit -(5) Baltimore at (4) Texas National League First Round Bye: Washington First Round -(7) Milwaukee at (2) Cincinnati -(6) Los Angeles at (3) San Francisco -(5) St. Louis at (4) Atlanta 2013 American League First Round Bye: (1) Boston First Round -(7) Kansas City at (2) Oakland -(6) Texas at (3) Detroit -(5) Tampa Bay at (4) Cleveland National League First Round Bye: (1) St. Louis First Round -(7) Arizona at (2) Atlanta -(6) Washington at (3) Los Angeles -(5) Cincinnati at (4) Pittsburgh 2014 American League First Round Bye: (1) Anaheim -(7) Cleveland at (2) Baltimore -(6) Seattle at (3) Detroit -(5) Oakland at (4) Kansas City National League First Round Bye: (1) Washington First Round -(7) Atlanta at (2) Los Angeles -(6) Milwaukee at (3) St. Louis -(5) San Francisco at (4) Pittsburgh 2015 American League First Round Bye: (1) Kansas City First Round -(7) Minnesota at (2) Toronto -(6) Anaheim at (3) Texas -(5) Houston at (4) New York Yankees National League First Round Bye: (1) St. Louis First Round -(7) Washington at (2) Los Angeles -(6) San Francisco at (3) New York Mets -(5) Chicago Cubs at (4) Pittsburgh 2016 American League First Round Bye: (1) Texas First Round -(7) Seattle at (2) Cleveland -(6) Detroit at (3) Boston -(5) Baltimore at (4) Toronto National League First Round Bye: (1) Chicago Cubs First Round -(7) Miami at (2) Washington -(6) St. Louis at (3) Los Angeles -(5) San Francisco at (4) New York Mets 2017 American League First Round Bye: (1) Cleveland First Round -(7) Anaheim at (2) Houston -(6) Kansas City at (3) Boston -(5) Minnesota at (4) New York Yankees National League First Round Bye: (1) Los Angeles First Round -(7) St. Louis at (2) Washington -(6) Milwaukee at (3) Chicago Cubs -(5) Colorado at (4) Arizona 2018 American League First Round Bye: (1) Boston First Round -(7) Seattle at (2) Houston -(6) Tampa Bay at (3) Minnesota -(5) Oakland at (4) New York Yankees National League First Round Bye: (1) Milwaukee First Round -(7) Washington at (2) Los Angeles -(6) St. Louis at (3) Atlanta -(5) Colorado at (4) Chicago Cubs 2019 American League First Round Bye: (1) Houston First Round -(7) Boston at (2) New York Yankees -(6) Cleveland at (3) Minnesota -(5) Tampa Bay at (4) Oakland National League First Round Bye: (1) Los Angeles First Round -(7) Arizona at (2) Atlanta -(6) New York Mets at (3) St. Louis -(5) Milwaukee at (4) Washington Everyone (even little Miami) has made it to the postseason at least once under this format... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 In honor of my all-time favorite post of mine and all the talk of AHL having new leadership... HELL YEAH TIME TO REALIGN THE ALL UPSTATE NY AHL ORIGINAL CHANGES -Adirondack's now the Adirondack Red Wings again because that's about as stable as the Glens Falls team has been through the years -Binghamton's now the Devils a la real life -Albany River Rats come back -Ithaca has finally come to an agreement with Cornell University to become the Little Red! However they're now mired in a lawsuit with Ithaca High School. -Fredonia was forced to rebrand to the Eagles after their really racist promotion in the 2015-16 season finally pushed it past the point of keeping the Senecas nickname -Vegas gets their affiliate in the West Division in the Lockport Locksmiths (Canalmen's still taken by Batavia and they ain't giving it up) -Upon entry Seattle will open up the East Aurora Borealis. They will do at least two Simpsons theme nights a year. Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers will be the mascots. Laughs will be had when they play Albany and Utica. They'll play in the West. -"So now that there's 32 teams and two divisions of 6, wouldn't they just change to 4 divisions of 8?" No, because this is the AHL operating only with teams in Upstate New York. 1 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a mistake on that, and i'm very sorry for that mistake. By the way, I made a correction on that, @simtek34. Then, tell me how it looked my proposal for a 40-team NHL realignment, please?. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
