Knowing all of this, here is your ChatGPT-generated power conference landscape:ĬhatGPT also suggested East Carolina and Old Dominion as the next in line, but we don’t want to give Jim Larrañaga a heart attack just yet.
UConn went independent in football and joined the Big East in all other sports. Cincinnati, UCF, BYU, and Houston are going to the Big 12. Texas and Oklahoma are headed to the SEC. And in case you forgot, here’s the movement we’ve seen over the last handful of years: We also need to remind ChatGPT about a few things considering that its knowledge base is a little spotty on events that have occurred since 2020. With UCLA and USC on their way out and BYU off the table for expansion options, simply continue to exist. Be as good as possible in all other sports because it just means more, baby!. Continue to be the best football league in the country. While football is where most of the money comes from, the Big 12 is prioritizing strengthening its position as the best conference in basketball. It will want to add new time slots for football and basketball games. The Big 12 is also bullish on its future in media rights. That could mean everything from expanding to new markets to strengthening their presence in their existing footprint or tapping into emerging markets. Commissioner Brett Yormark seems hell-bent on making the Big 12 a national brand. The Big Ten values academics and would prefer schools that are members of the American Association of Universities. With USC and UCLA coming into the league, it is truly a national conference and may want to strengthen its ties on both coasts. The Big Ten will want to strengthen itself in both basketball and football. It needs to stay relevant in the most important NCAA sport. In this scenario, it is also losing its two biggest football brands. The ACC, while trying to stay together, should look to improve itself as a basketball conference. The ACC has long been a basketball powerhouse, but it has fallen off in recent years. While we can’t say anything for sure, history and common sense tell us that we can instruct ChatGPT to consider the following about the so-called Power 5: ACC so… it was back to the drawing board to define what criteria each conference might consider. Yes, we first tried to ask ChatGPT straight-up to realign college sports without any qualifying language, and while some of the answers made sense, we also ended up with Delaware and Towson in the Big East. Subscribe Conference Realignment Criteria Using all this as a jumping-off point, we then had to define which criteria ChatGPT should consider in moving all these puzzle pieces around. 
Looking through that lens, it follows logically that Florida State and Clemson could end up in the SEC, while North Carolina and Virginia take their talents to the Big Ten. With the conference realignment wheels always turning (and perhaps starting to speed up now), we thought we’d turn to our trusty AI friend, ChatGPT, to develop a conference landscape that makes sense for all.įor the record, we started with the basic premise that got this discussion going to begin with - that half the schools in the ACC were looking to get out of their Grant of Rights agreement with the conference and went from there. Is the Big Ten looking to add New Mexico State? There’s surely an Aggies board somewhere that has a 30-page thread about why it’s beneficial for both sides. Want to see Washington State in the SEC? Well, there’s probably a guy in Nashville who thinks it makes sense. Visit any college team message board at any point - particularly in the offseason - and you’ll see some of the most unhinged scenarios you’d ever imagine. Nothing gets college sports fans going quite like conference realignment. Boardroom asked ChatGPT to simulate conference realignment.
You can’t ignore the rumors, and why would you want to? In fact, let’s take it a step further.
