Last week’s Midweek Musings brought up the notion that despite some recent lopsidedness, the Big Ten ultimately got the East and West divisions correct. This led to some further discussion about the conference in general, and ultimately what the next - and perhaps final - round of conference expansion and realignment might look like. I’m here to offer you my own take on what I think conferences will look like by the year 2030.
First and foremost, we’re going to be talking strictly about schools currently in a Power 5 (P5) conference - the ACC, Big Ten, Big Twelve, Pac-12, and SEC conferences.
