It makes so much sense, it bound to not happen. Everyone left out of the SEC/B1G is fighting for relevance. The rest should ban and forge ahead together. Become the AFL or the ABA if necessary.
The key is creating a block large enough to out vote or veto the SEC and B1G. Scheduling amongst theirselves (that is a word according to dictionary.com) is a must for strength of schedule, both to keep the block's high and dilute the SEC and B1G.With CFP going to 12 teams this seems plausible and likely to me.
Take another run at Apple. Talk to Prime. Cut the f’ers out of the loop.The problem is that ESPN/ABC, Fox and CBS are in bed with the B1G and SEC. I don't believe that they are going to allow the other leagues to not schedule B1G and SEC teams to be their bodybag games to pad schedules. Pay them $70-100 million and pay everyone else $15-20 million (or less). The imbalance will make the continuing power shift even more inevitable.
If There’s no contractural agreement between these schools and those network or other conferences it’s moot. Balls in your court ESPN, you decide if leaving out 70% of the current P5 is good for business. Probably won’t be and those bags for the SEC and Big10 will see George Costanza like shrinkage.
Since you brought up the ABA, I am going to make a recommendation for anyone that ever watched the ABA and/or just has interest in it. There is a book called "LOOSE BALLS" all about the ABA, and it is excellent! Lots of inside stories about the shenanigans of the league, trades, drafts, and the coaches and of course the player. The players, my oh my, the PLAYERS! There was so much talent in that upstart league, it was amazing.It makes so much sense, it bound to not happen.

Could be done by contract between the conferences. Or it could be one big conference, with the bylaws and other organizational documents providing the governance. Maybe other possibilities too.If There’s no contractural agreement between these schools and those network or other conferences it’s moot.

Great book. There’s some YouTube videos related to it as wellSince you brought up the ABA, I am going to make a recommendation for anyone that ever watched the ABA and/or just has interest in it.

Do yourself a favor and find that book and read it. You won't regret it!
Shit you guys. I don't do Twitter or Instagram, and have -0- plans to start. I barely do Facebook. These links to sites that I can't even read annoy the shit out of me.Interesting idea
