Just when we thought we were being edgy with our suggestions for a new Super 8 conferences realignment, Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples took it a step further.
Staples' suggestion that the top 64 money-making college football programs leave the NCAA and create four CASH Conferences is appealing. Especially when I see the conference makeups ... who doesn't love seeing WVU in the SEC with Louisville, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. All four conferences have 16 teams and somehow the ACC still blows.
TCU is the only mid-major to make the top 64 teams (sorry Boise State and Utah). This will never happen, but I'm glad to see others thinking of ways to improve the current system that doesn't always include a playoff. Good job, Mr. Staples.

Looks like they're basically breaking up the Big XII and Big East and sprinkled a few others in.
I guess his argument is based around all sports and not just football, because I have a hard time believing Duke or Vanderbilt football brings in more money than Utah or BYU.
You are probably correct about the financial side of things. I'm sure this is the entire athletic department. It is interesting to see that TCU is the only one that cracks the 64.
