If I recall, the code the game is built on requires 12-team conferences. Hypothetically that could be changed, but it gets very complicated, and has potential to damage the entire game, so if I understand it, it’s pretty much a no-go, at least I think that is how it’s been talked about in the past. How realistic can realignment be, adhering to a 12-team per conference rule? Is there really much benefit to that effort? Like how do you make the current “Big 10” (LOL) look realistic with 12 teams? Which 12 get in, and where do the others go?
That’s why I think the best idea is to keep the current game as is, and as they have discussed with GD, perhaps a new version, or entirely new game can be rolled out (aspirational) at some point, if that ever makes sense to WIS.
