Changes to NCAA Football Conferences

Several Mountain West teams have moved up with the big boy conferences. Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State, Utah State, and San Diego State are all going to the Pac-12.
Is it me, or is the NCAA trying to realign conferences to the point of having only the major 5 or 6 conferences?
What do you think?

Yeah, I think that's pretty much where college football is headed. The smaller conferences keep getting picked apart whenever the bigger conferences need teams.

The weird part is the Pac-12 basically had to rebuild itself after losing most of its big programs, so now it's grabbing some of the better Mountain West teams. I don't think the NCAA is necessarily controlling all of it, though. A lot of this is the conferences and schools chasing TV money, playoff access, and better deals.

I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually end up with just a handful of major conferences and everybody else is basically playing at a second level.

Agreed, but one thing puzzles me -- FCS schools making huge investments to get in dying G-6 conferences. Sacramento St to the MAC, No. Dakota St. to the Mountain West.....neither of these makes financial sense. The only thing I can figure is that these schools believe they will never have another chance to get into the top division.
