Football is driving all the conference realignment, for good and bad. It is tearing apart conferences who are traditionally basketball oriented and forcing them to expand into geographic areas that have little in common with their core schools. Football is moving towards mega conferences.

The conference need football to pay for Olympic sport

Joe Lazure

So many schools rely on money and need other schools from higher populated areas to make that work from attendance to tv ratings, etc. Unless the currently conferences allow cross-over power conference games it probably won't work.

although football is money generator, the academic side and geographic similarities will still play major roles.

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!
