This is not going to help college football. Eventually there will only be two conferences?
That's apparently where we're headed. From a selfish standpoint, w/ the expanded playoff coming I welcome higher profile games that expansion brings about. Good 2 loss teams should still wind up w/ a shot to win it all, so go play someone!
PSU has USC at home in 2024. If FOX fixes their broadcast times or for some reason doesn't take the game, it could be a Whiteout Game. Imagine Whiteouts against Clemson and Oregon!? This would be incredible.
I concur. Greed is destroying college sports. What does it even mean to have a conference if it’s so big all the teams can’t even play each other? And the idea of the “student-athlete” is becoming a joke. First, athletic scholarships allowed students who weren’t even close to being academically qualified, and now the best of the “student-athletes” are becoming hired professionals.

De facto, this would make it so. You might have a bunch of other conferences, but they would all be 2nd tier.
No. There will be one conference with two divisions. They will argue over whether to call it The BIG or the SEC. Unable to agree, they will compromise on The TBL, for The TVBucks League.
