Colorado football will be included in 32-team super conference if it happens

As longtime college sports radio host Greg Swaim relayed, the Colorado football program would be included in the rumored 32-team super conference. According to Swaim, not every Big 12 school will make the cut.

"The Big 12 is interesting in that they have no Top Ten teams, according to the metrics, but they do have eleven of their teams ranked in the mid teens to low 30's," Swaim wrote. "Schools with smaller living alumni bases are hurt badly, like TCU and Baylor, who have far less students and alumni. Baylor has seen a large recent increase in enrollment recently, but their living alumni numbers are much lower than the average Big 12 school.

"Schools in metro cities, where the average fans in the street have other favorite teams is also a problem. Houston, TCU and Cincinnati have that issue."

Swaim previously reported that a high number of ACC teams wouldn't be included.

"It's crucial to remember that this is only football. Schools from the ACC who definitely will not make the 32 member cut are Syracuse, Duke, Wake Forest, Boston College, Stanford, Cal Bears and SMU, although GT and Pitt are not locks by any stretch," Swaim wrote.

Big 12 could add ACC schools before college football shifts to super conference/super league

The future of college football is up in the air. With private equity potentially entering the mix, further consolidation of the sport's biggest brands and downplaying the underperforming brands feels like an inevitability.

The Big 12 is the conference with private equity on their mind, so if the super conference/super league doesn't happen, a raid of the ACC from Brett Yormark and Co. is likely.

Pitt, Virginia Tech, Louisville, and NC State are all heavily rumored as new Big 12 additions. Miami would undoubtedly be in play as well.
