^^^ Assuming this monstrosity holds together, there is no way it'll be anything other than an east/west split. Travel issues on each side are far too large any other way. Some eastern school, Navy, UCF, Temple will be in the west but otherwise its a geographic split.

BE is an absolute disaster. I'd do anything to get a life line into the ACC or B12.

Is there really any difference between a 3-hour plane ride and a 5-hour plane ride when all is said and done?

I would say it's about 2 hours. Isn't my USF education a wonderful thing?

I'm actually pretty excited about the teams coming in. Although I hate UCF it'll be an awesome game to be at considering that we are more than likely going to dominate them for the next five years anyways... SMU in dallas, Houston in Houston, SDSU in San Diego, Even the Blue turf in Boise seems like a lot of fun. Add in Memphis and a football game in Philly and that is some awesome road games. It'll also be pretty cool to win our division or fight for our division every year. I think the nongeographic split is the most likely and I like that the most because it maintains rivalries and helps with recruiting. If we can just steal Boston College or keep Syracuse we'd have a great 14 team league. F PITT they can go die in the ACC....

barring boise, every one of those plane flights are to a pretty major metropolitan area so there won't be tons of puddle jumpers or chartering flights to some grassy landing strip in BFE (looking at you SEC).

that model a few posts up isn't bad. the travel isn't gonna sway whether it's east-west or arbitrary, because while the cross-division protection helps keep a closer rival on the schedule, you'd be in a division with longer travel partners out west.

memphis-temple in that model isn't bad. that's one time zone and not a very long flight at all.

Yeah, and Texas A&M plans on being in the Big 12.

ND is it's own monster. IMO No matter what anyone says they are still a huge draw.
