Nobody will go for ditching the entire Power 5 Conference structure to realign with the Group of 5 teams.

Putting teams in conferences with geographic proximity is not a bad idea for all the non-revenue sports. But it won't fly for Football or Basketball where there are deep seated traditions.

Sorry but a Conference with ND, Marshall, Middle Tenn, Northern Illinois, and Western Kentucky even if it contains 7 members of current Power 5 conferences is a non-starter.
