So now ESPN has conspired to help steal teams.. This is wild This would help them organize their TV contracts with conferences if they can help to consolidate all of the powerhouse schools into just a couple of conferences. Right?

FB needs conferences.
English FB doesn't have hundreds of teams to schedule. Or our TV networks.
Scheduling and TV contracts would be impossible to manage.

Your division level would only have 80 potential teams to play. Since you are in a regional division, your 10-12 games would be within region and within division. Top three teams from each region advance to playoff, with an additional at-large (one team), that make a Sweet 16 bracket at each divisional level.

Your division level would only have 80 potential teams to play. Since you are in a regional division, You underestimate issues with scheduling, travel and promotion of the season. Conferences and teams now schedule years ahead. Travel is 100+ people in FB. Having teams drop and add yearly is an issue. Then there are the TV contracts and marketing issues there. Conference level and team level. You are breaking something that works well. Sort of...

Could this possibly be true

Could this possibly be true Absolutely. It's a huge payday for places like Lubbock, Ames, Manhattan to have UT or OU come. They're guaranteed sellouts with travel, dining, ticket sales, parking, etc. Add that into the TV revenue those schools get simply because of UT and OU being in the conference, it could easily top a billion dollars annually across the 8 other schools.

schools rarely get lodging revenue, but you are right about those 2 schools traveling well, revenue to local economy.
School revenue including BB revenue may get to that figure.
If they replace those schools bound to be less, but the figure probably didn't include that estimate.

The tweet says "schools/community" so it's accounting for revenue the school makes as well as revenue for the city.

Very big UT impact for Lubbock, not as big for WVU, Ames or Lawrence at home, for example. It's a speculative estimate, but not outrageously high.
