College football conference realignment and expansion is all the rage. It's the Hansel from Zoolander of sports. The Big 12 is currently driving the conversation, but truth be told, any article or conversation about expanding or realigning pretty much any conference goes viral. Why?
Because we can't get enough of it.
We, the modern college football fan, were raised on a college football video game that had a realignment feature that — quite frankly — I loved. I don't know about you, but ever since I was a kid, I would sketch up realignments in every major team sport in the country.
