Maybe they have a ScarletKnightuBet over there.

...Rutgers has some "questionable" cheerleaders; the one on the left sure has a funny bulge in her? pants and the "Knight guy" seems to be playing with himself.

It seems to me the best way to reorganize the conferences would be as follows:
First, combine all D1a football programs into a single conference. Then, divide that conference into a series of pods, in two tiers. In the first tier, what could be termed the championship pods, you'd have maybe 4 pods, each of about ten to twelve teams, comprising all of the programs that have a remotely legitimate shot at a national championship. Something like a southeastern pod, a midwestern pod, a plains states/southwestern pod, and a pacific coast pod. All of the rest of the programs would go into the second tier of pods, which would geographically overlap with the championship pods, but none of the second tier pod teams would get serious consideration for a national championship.
Each pod could determine a pod champion as it sees fit. You could have a round-robin schedule within the pod, a not-complete round-robin pod schedule with tiebreakers, or you could subdivide the pod and have a pod championship game.
However it's done, you could then crown a national champion either by voting for the strongest pod champion, or by holding a playoff between the champions of the tier one pods.
This would be a flexible approach, and would seem to be the only way to truly break free from the sclerotic conference situation in which the game is currently mired.

It's not 'will be' it's 'may be', it's not guaranteed. There will be a fight with the companies to get BTN on the basic tier and it will require pushback from the subscribers to get the cables companies to back down.
That is why the Fox/Yes deal is so important if the rumors of an intent to bundle Yes/BTN are true.

That will change.
What makes up a large part of the PSU cult? Folks from Jersey.
Where do the few Miami fans who start fights & talk trash come from? Jersey.
Where do the drunken idiots WVU is known for come from? Jersey.
New Jersey is a blight and it's people are a plague.

I'm thinking of the scene from Alien when the monster ate his way out from the gut of the poor sick guy. Then looked around at everybody and ran off.....
either that or she's got a bun in the oven and the Knight did it.

Rutgers and Maryland loathe Penn State. They dealt with Paterno, his crooked ways and home ref crews long before we took the measure of that cowardly old man. I don't think BWI will find much sympathy for their batcrazy shit among the new schools.

Well I still think they came out ahead in that regard.
Even the total obliteration of your conference is still the better alternative.
