If the 10 & 11 team conferences stand, I imagine some schools night have to start conference games in Week 1
2nd draft
- Thread starter Project Q
- Start date
I think the only definite as of now is 5 round playoff, which I would assume would allow an 11 game schedule. Back to endowment games?
I am gonna assume tem games until I hear otherwsie ... With one less round of the playoffs, I can see the bump up to an eleven game regualr season ... Now, let's get the playoffs figured out first ...
I don't envy the realignment committee's job at all. A close friend of mine who is a retired school administrator, served on the realignment committee once back in the early 2000's. He said it's one of the most difficult things he's ever worked on, and among the most thankless.
One thing that he related to me, and what I see reading all the criticism being levied on this thread and others... a lot of the comments on here are based on what the proposal recommends for specific conferences, counties, or schools, but if you look at the job they've got, it's a house of cards. One change may make things better for one school or conference, but that one change also may have a ripple effect that creates hardships for several other schools or conferences.
I agree that it ain't perfect, but what is? 🤷♂️🤷♀️

It may not be perfect, and it may never become perfect. But, it sure as heck could be a whole lot better than it is now ...
I don't doubt that it's difficult. But I've done this "process" by myself ad nauseum for several years now.
To me it's obvious that there was no clear person in charge to lead the team in a clear direction with concise instructions...if there was someone in charge, it was someone with zero experience.
Too many cooks in the kitchen and most of them can barely boil water. I don't want excuses, I want accountability for what was one of the worst realignments in NC history.
If we gotta start pulling in a third party to put this thing together analytically, that's cool. I guarantee it'll be better.
Hell I'd do it by myself for half the money and it would take a quarter of the time and have 1/10th of the problems.
Get it right, and if it's too hard, step down. There is no participation trophy. No one cares how hard you tried, they care that it's right.
