The NCAA has just called and asked me to set up Super Conferences for all the major Colleges in America.
The criteria assigned was to set up each conference in its geographical area as much as possible.
Another prerequisite is for teams to be assigned in geographic recruiting areas so those same schools will butt heads and reach divisional and conference winners. This will allow weaker recruiting areas the same chance to reach the finals to be the top team in the NCAA.
Also, the criteria was assigned to keep the travel as short as possible since the cost of college football has increased dramatically.
There will be eight conferences and four major bowl games. Winners of the four major bowls will play the next Saturday in two games called the Elite Bowls. The following Saturday, the two remaining winners will play in the College Super Bowl.
All minor bowls will be completed prior to the last two Saturdays in the year. The four major bowls, the two Elite Bowls, and the College Super Bowl will be played the last two Saturdays of the year, and the first Saturday in the new year.
The official Conferences have been forwarded to the NCAA for their review. There may be a small tweaking process to firm up each Conference and Divisions.
