Who do you think the academic schools are?
Vanderbilt. Period.
The next in line is Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M. I don't see any of those leaving.

We need the mods to start banning trolls and their alternate accounts.

I’m really not sure how you can have 40 teams splinter off. There is basically 8 spots left. Even though state politics haven’t gotten involved yet, you start talking about basically turning 70% of FBS into Div 1 AA and they will. You can’t ask teams to leave, because those schools your talking about, while they may struggle in football most years they have other strengths, from legal sense that will get involved. Those who say the top 40 programs should just all leave and form there in league, because we are why everyone watches and generate the money. You literally have no idea how what is going on in the background of college athletics, it’s no just about Saturday.
I can see maybe schools from the Big12 and PAC12 joining under a New Conference, leaving certain New Conf members behind or more gets the SEC and Big raiding those Conf to get to 20. Maybe the ACC because of their contract tries to expand to renegotiate it TV deal, if Miami, FSU, and GT that’s right GT because of Atlanta could get back.. then we could have 3 - 20 team confs.. that still leaves 5 holding the bag, but it’s not 25.

The “pre-1990s” SEC wasn’t stronger
The SEC of 2006-present is as strong as it’s ever been

Take Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas, LSU, Auburn, Florida. That's 8 strong programs.
Objectively over last 2 decades, LSU: 4 natty appearances with 3 titles. Florida, 2 titles in 2 tries. Auburn and Texas, 2 appearances each, 1 title each.
That's 10 appearances, 7 titles in 20 years. Not conference, national titles.
The other 4 teams:
Bama 6 titles in 8 appearances. Oklahoma 1 title (back in 2000) in 3 appearances. UGA is 1 for 2. Clemson is what, 2 for 4 I think. So, Bama is the tops, LSU would be 2nd, then Clemson and Florida, then the rest.
The point being (if you can handle an adult discussion), if you end up with that group as a new conference, you will have a team with MULTIPLE appearances in the Final in recent history, who will finish dead last in their conference.
Meanwhile, you would have other conferences, most of which won't even have a single team make the finals, who would get an "automatic" playoff bid.

Are you suggesting these are the same?

Man you big 10 guys are dumb, the top academic schools past Vandy are UF, UGA, and Tamu. Texas will be in that group, which one of those goes academics first?

Leave out LSU Aub, UGA and Florida.
I'd like to see a conference with Bama, Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Mich against the field. I dont care what you have or haven't done since 2000. How have you done over time and these have stood the test. In that conferecne the recruiting would be off the charts.

If they haven’t done anything recently, then how are they standing the test? Uga has beaten Bama, Michigan, and OU recently. Texas and USC have been shite.

This may be the Rantiest of Rant threads ever. We’ve now gone past speculating about further growth in the conference and which teams might be added, to discussing the makeup of subsequent splinter leagues. Truly a work of art.
History is the guide ACC + SEC + TAMU + Utx + ??? got to a 28 to 32 team league before splitting into ACC (east of mountains), SEC (west of the mountains), and SWC (Utx and TAMU went, Rebs and LSU were invited)
