Espn doesnt care. They will make more money from better conferences. And benefit from not having to pay for Kansas Vs Iowa State, that no one watches.
ACC, Big Ten, PAC-12 Expected to announce Alliance

That’s definitely West Virginia. After experiencing the dissolution of the the BigEast first hand, and now seeing the B12 destroyed as well, you can just picture them saying, “and we will never, ever, ever, ever, ever leave each other”.

I like the 16 team 4 pod approach. Pods 1+2 play each other, 3+4 play each, respective winners to SEC title game. Next year, pods 1+3 and 2+4 play each other, winner to SEC title game, 3rd year, 1+4 and 2+3, winners to SEC title game.
That gives us the chance to play every SEC team once every 3 years. Then repeat swapping home and away the next go around.
It gives us a 7 game SEC schedule and the ability to play other D1 teams (f$u, Miami, VT, UNC, UCLA, etc) and schedule a couple of cupcakes for stats and recovery.

I think the closer we move to getting rid the ncaa the less we will play cupcakes which is good for everyone

Not so sure. A 12 game schedule at the D1 level is hard on the body. It will be entertaining as hell for the fans and I admit, I half heartedly watch the cupcake games.
The last team I coached on, the HC (figure head only) scheduled 10 straight games and took the "bye" week in week one to get some extra practice time. So imagine, 10 straight weeks and then roll into the playoffs. Brutal. The cupcake games serve a purpose. 2nd and 3rd teamers get game reps, starters can rest a little and heal, practice that week can and should go a little easier, and give the players a chance to heal.

I dont know why you think the NCAA "causes" cupcake games....or that they are going away.
I can guarantee you that the Mississippis of the world are not going to vote to get rid of those.

I no longer have any concern for the impact on the players bodies. They are professional athletes now so they need to suck it up and play each week or step aside for the next guy.
- No more fake concerns about academics/ finals
- No more concerns about players health
This is what they asked for/ demanded so let’s juice up schedules with all Power 5 games.

NFL is now going to 17 games, plus the 3 preseason tuneups. Then add the playoffs
and it's over 20. Any guy suiting up for college ball has dreams of an NFL career.
Might as well get used to the grind

we can't hire free agents in the middle of the season if players get hurt.

Nope
Replacements are built in to the roster.
NFL = 53 man roster
The new get paid to play in the NFL minor league has 85 “scholarships” plus unlimited walk on availability of an entire campus full of spoiled woke leftists, just biting at the bit to get on the field.

@Brett_McMurphy: BYU, Cincinnati, Houston & UCF are Big 12’s expansion choices & league could extend invites this month, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. BYU could join next season, a year or so before others. Also, all 4 could join before OU/Texas leave for SEC, source said Sources: Top Big 12 Targets BYU, Cincinnati, UCF & Houston Could Receive Invite This Month

That might be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. The pretty girls haven’t even finished packing or officially left, and you’re inviting what amounts to the Ole Miss Softball team to move in, as some sort of “we’re totally fine, you’ll see” type move. They would’ve been better shutting the whole thing down.
