Both conferences are attempting to lure teams from the other. After the departure of Houston, Cincinnati, and Central Florida, the AAC will be at eight teams and the MWC at twelve. It appears likely that Air Force and Colorado State are going to move to the AAC. That would put each conference at ten teams. Boise State and Memphis are still on the Big 12 radar. If they go, both conferences are at nine teams. Why don't they just merge, play an eight-game division-only schedule with a title game? The 18-team (or 20 team if BSU and Memphis stay put) conference's champion would "almost" be guaranteed an NY6 berth under the current setup and would be nearly an automatic playoff team if the 6+6 model is adopted.
