mjp28 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 ● BIG changes in collegs football in 2024 ! ● Here is a sample : College football expansion: Every realignment move coming in 2024 After another historic round of conference realignment, it's time to get a refreshed look at what college football will look like when everyone finally packs up and moves JAMES PARKS JAN 22, 2024 8:09 AM EST Well, it happened again, and rather quickly, too: another historic phase of college football conference realignment that saw the Big 12, Big Ten, and ACC all embark on another round of expansion, effectively destroying the 108-year-old Pac-12 Conference, creating two super-conferences in the South and Midwest, and forever changing the national map of college football for the foreseeable future. Here's what you need to know about who will be where when the 2024 season kicks off. ● How many schools are in the FBS in 2024. ..... 134 A total of 134 schools will compete in the FBS in 2024-25. Sam Houston and Jacksonville State make the jump from the FCS in 2023, and Kennesaw State will join the FBS in 2024. ● Which schools compete in the Power 5? ..... 69 A total of 69 schools will compete in Power 5 conferences in 2024, though the future of the Pac-12 is in doubt. A look at the makeup of those conferences: ♡ ▪︎--> The BIG TEN ● What the Big Ten will look like: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Northwestern, Illinois Why the moves? Because after the two L.A.-based brands decided to leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten last offseason, it was only a matter of time before the two biggest remaining names would make the move, too, especially considering the Pac-12's lack of a lucrative media contract. Oregon and Washington are B1G-bound next summer, bringing most of the valuable West Coast media markets with them. And there's still some talk around Stanford and Cal to watch for, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 BIG 12 Who's coming in? Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado Who's leaving? Texas, Oklahoma What the Big 12 will look like: BYU, Houston, Cincinnati, UCF, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, West Virginia, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado Why the moves? After the bombshell announcement that Texas and Oklahoma were leaving for the SEC in time for the 2024 college football season, the Big 12 got aggressive from the jump, adding the three former AAC programs and BYU, and then again this offseason by plucking four Pac-12 brands from the Four Corners to expand into all four time zones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 PAC 12. play taps ! Who's coming in? Nobody. -0- Who's going out? USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado, Cal, Stanford .... 10 gone ! What the Pac-12 will look like: It won't exist. <--▪︎ Why the moves? Because of serious mismanagement at the top of the conference that failed to hold the thing together and present its members with a competitive media deal, resulting in a historic exodus that has completely destroyed the "Conference of Champions" forever. The two schools that were left from realignment, Oregon State and Washington State, struck a deal to play Mountain West teams in the 2024 season, although they'll also keep their respective Civil War and Apple Cup games against their rivals, as well.

mjp28 Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 The SEC, whoa, Who's coming in? Texas, Oklahoma What the SEC will look like: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky Why the moves? Because the Longhorns and Sooners wanted a bigger piece of college football's pie and the SEC had just the piece to offer them in exchange for adding two of the sport's most historic names to its rotation. For their part, the two new members will also get a chance to test themselves against the nation's most difficult schedule.
