The end will be the Big 12 and Big 10 moving to 16 teams.

I guess the ACC will go 16 and we will have 4 16 team leagues. It makes sense. It's always where I thought it would end up.

This is a serious game of musical chairs though and the music is about to stop...

There will be a stark difference in resources if you not one of the 64 teams in one of the 4 major conferences. Two different worlds and it will probably be treated that way, i.e. separate championship, etc.

Big 12 to me won’t have the teams to be considered a power 5 conference. Tcu or ok state occasionally have great teams, but without Texas and OU I don’t see it

And this is the problem. The big programs and conferences are just walking all over NCAA due to their ineptness and lack of any real authority, and the losers will be the smaller programs who can't keep up and will be left behind. I don't see how most of them will keep athletic departments relevant or even alive.
