This leaves two parameters: 1) All schedules must be fair regarding home/away; and, 2) pre-conference games are meaningless, since rankings no longer matter.

Thus, I think you go with a pre-interleague MLB style of 12 conference games, six home and six away (that alone will keep it from happening). Then you don’t play out of conference until the playoffs, or meaningless bowls that will have to survive.

I am assuming there will be new a subdivision at a level between the Super Conferences and the current FCS teams, consisting of the other 60 FBS teams. They can play themselves and have a following. Heck, adopt a British Football policy of moving teams up and down based on success.

Oh, and please justify Indiana maintaining a seat in the Super Conference. Only if the Super Conferences are maintained for all other sports.

I am part of the Young Professionals Group of the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce and we are putting on an event this June called the “Uptown Shuffle.” It basically is an event to gather some folks in the community to do an Amazing Race style event where teams go into local business establishments and look for clues or attempt to complete certain challenges. It is sponsored by a bunch of the Westerville uptown businesses and is a really fun event.

Anyways, we were scouring the web to see if any folks had some good pictures of Westerville and we found the one on your blog. It is a great picture! We were hoping you would give us permission to use your photo as the backdrop for the invite. We are a small group with a very limited budget, so we were hoping you’d be willing to let us use the picture if we put your name on the photo on the flier. If you are still in the area, we’d also like to extend an invitation for you to participate in the event free of charge. I am not sure what you are doing for a living these days, but it is a great way to meet some local folks and just have a good time. I’m sorry for the long post, but didn’t have a better means to contact you. If you wouldn’t mind replying to the post and providing a contact number, I’d be happy to chat with you on the phone. Or you can call my office at 614-882-2327.

Thanks again for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Mike

Even from my somewhat distant perspective, it was obvious that he was everything you say. I was truly lucky to have someone like Keith pick up where I left off.
