Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

College football expansion typically refers to the process of increasing the number of teams or conferences participating in the top levels of collegiate football competition. This can happen in several ways: Conference Expansion: Conferences may choose to add new teams to their membership, either to increase their competitiveness, geographical footprint, or television market presence. This often leads to realignment of conferences and changes in scheduling. Playoff Expansion: The College Football Playoff (CFP) is the postseason tournament used to determine the national champion at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level. Expansion of the playoff could involve increasing the number of teams that qualify for the playoff, allowing more teams to compete for the national championship. New Teams: Sometimes entirely new teams are added to the NCAA Division I FBS level. This could be due to a university elevating its football program to the FBS level, or the creation of a new football program altogether. Independent Teams Joining Conferences: Independent teams, those not affiliated with any conference, might choose to join a conference. This is often done to secure more consistent scheduling and potentially a shot at conference championships. Expansion can be driven by various factors, including financial considerations (such as TV rights and revenue), competitive balance, and increasing the reach of the sport. However, expansion can also lead to challenges such as scheduling difficulties, conference realignment disputes, and changes in traditional rivalries. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
