Re: College Football 2010: Dude, Where's my Conference?
You can "plan" to build a shed... but you may end up splitting a board with a nail... or even splitting your thumb nail with a hammer.
There may be planning and strategizing... I'm saying that the hypothetical perfect super-conference breakaway league requires a fair bit of planning and not this adhoc strategery that we're going to see go down in the next month.
That isn't to say they couldn't break away in the end... but, it wouldn't shock me that one of these conferences end up with a round number of teams or accept somebody they didn't want... or so on. What is to say the pac-10 doesn't split after getting to 16 because of opposing interests?
edit: i still get the feeling that some of these winners won't be getting what they are looking for.
edit #2: Do you think that a lot of planning wasn't involved in launching the "Challenger" shuttle... the "best laid plans of mice and men" and all that stuff. Hell, look at the market... all you need is a healthy dose of hubris and confusion.
