Ignoring the facts that this conference wouldn't be the strongest imaginable or maximize conference footprint, I'd go with a 12 team conference with the following set-up:

Plains
Colorado
Illinois
Iowa
Iowa State
Nebraska
Wisconsin

Prairie
Arkansas
kansas
Kansas State
Missouri
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State







Now, tell me why this is terrible. <3

Because I'd imagine outside of Whisky, Oklahoma and Arkansas, every other campus you listed is dull as dirt to go watch a CFB game at.

No thanks... I'm good where we are currently.

I'm more interested in knowing why you would pick those teams. Forget about being in a conference with them, I think half of them wouldn't move the needle for me in an OOC game.

To me, playing Colorado would be as meaningful as playing Indiana or Purdue.

We have history with a lot of those teams, we'd be roughly the geographical center of the conference, it would be relatively balanced competitively (lol kansas), and I think there are a lot of commonalities amongst the cultures of those schools.

But yea, not necessarily powerhouses.

Because population in most of those states is decreasing and with it recruits.

I didn't know that... Cool.

Good football in those parts.

To be fair, I moved back to KC six months ago after spending 17 years in the Atlanta metro. Still have a house there though.

I really need to update my info.

plus any state that requires you to drive through beakers to get to, is not worth going to..

I wouldn't wish that on Arkansas, why would I wish it on us?
