I believe contracts would not make this possible, but in my mind if the schools that are outside didn’t want a 20 team league, never playing everyone, and wanted to form an elitist conference, maybe they compete with less revenue split and minimal bottom feeders. Hear me out. PAC, Big 12 and ACC dissolve, while the following 9 form a new conference. 8 round robin games and top 2 play for a conference title with conference autonomy.
1) Oregon 2) Washington 3) Stanford 4) Oklahoma St. 5) Virginia Tech 6) Notre Dame 7) Clemson 8) Fla St 9) Miami
