So we all have seen the projections using 2023. All P2 save the 3 other auto bids. Feels safe to say next year likely the same unless maybe the ACC or BIG XIi get two in (the ACC today seems to have the better case today).
With 21 of the top 25 recruiting classes being P2 the future doesn’t look much different.
Let’s assume the minority opinion is correct and the breakaway is more tv contract based and the ACC the same thing - tv holds them together.
That means about 7-8 years of this set up. Is this really what people want? Does it make fans and donors want to pay millions to fight for kids that aren’t going to be enough to get you there, and even if you get there you can’t beat 8 of the other 11 teams most days.
My question is how do people want to see it fixed?
16 teams instead of 12?
A limit on how many one conference can have ?
A break away of a small group so we have two sets of leagues and more competitiveness for those not in the break away?
Any other solutions?
12 teams had people who didn’t look closely excited and believing it meant more parity. Now that even those people have been shown that it will still be the same group of teams we are pulling from is this satisfactory?
I don’t think so
