Do you really think Alabama would agree to that division? Without digging too much I'm sure there are other power players who would be unhappy... and that's the problem with most of these end game scenarios: they assume some teams (or entire conferences) will agree to a deal which is bad for them. If they betray their students and peers now, where is this"greater good" supposed to come from?
