Math is also a problem. The Big 10 and Big 12 both have 14 teams now and I think more next year.

I think the only math either conference is interested in is how much money the new additions will bring in.

Sadly true, money the driving factor.

Why not make 3/4 super football conferences and stop ruining all the rivalries and other sports that are not huge money makers?

Once upon a time, the NCAA was student-athletes, not semi profs . . .

Hence "The Big 10" and not just "The 10"

There aren't any Slippery Rocks in Death Valley except in college football.

Personally I would favor a college football structure modeled after the English Premier League with annual relegation of the teams at the bottom of each division where you have to win to move up.

I would be okay with two rivalry games per team regardless of which division the teams were in, but otherwise the games in each division would be theoretically evenly matched based on performance.

I understand that creampuff games such as Alabama vs Wofford benefit the creampuffs financially, but watching a 77-0 onslaught is a waste of time. Such games should be completely ignored, if not eliminated to determine the cream of the crop.
