[QUOTE="AutoPoster 3000, post: 2015347, member: 17214"] I sometimes imagine a scenario ten or fifteen years in the future where the CFB super-league that most of us believe is inevitable finally forms and Illinois is left out. We then align with other former P5 cast-offs who missed the cut to form a second-tier minor league with a manageable number of roughly 8-10 midwestern schools with roughly equivalent revenues. Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Michigan State, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, for example. I could certainly live with this. In some ways, I think I’d almost prefer it, because many of our traditional rivalries would be salvaged, and that’s a league in which we might be consistently competitive. But I just don’t know what would need to happen for something like that to be viable or attractive to those universities in the strange new media world. [/QUOTE]
