As you can see this makes the most geographical sense. There are border wars and in-state rivalries. For the regions that have three schools in the same state (Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Washington) I would like to see them play a round-robin sort of tournament every year for the state crown. That would bring fan interest almost like a bowl game in midseason. The number of schools in each conference works out best for basketball but for some football is even too. I can't say this will ever happen but with the way things are now in the NCAA, I almost feel this would be best. And that's a sad statement to make...
Where would Bradley be at in all of this??
