[NU Sports] The Super 64

[Jim Leonard]

Ok, it's a really, really slow day here in Korea. 

Just for fun I took a look at how you might create four 16-team conferences. This is for entertainment purposes only. If it did come down to 4 super conferences the chosen teams would be very different. The geography gets a lot harder when you look at places like Nebraska and Kansas. But I promise you that if these new conferences could get the kind of money that the Big Ten has achieved, they will learn to love just about any alignment.
