Conference Realignment Line Up 2024

Confused? You should be. College Football teams were jumping like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Wackiness

College Football has seen a whirlwind of conference jumping which the likes college football fans have never seen. All the movement likely results in the end of Pac-12 - at least as a “Power” conference. The Pac-4, as they are now snarkily known, still has four teams. Will they try to rebuild with San Diego State, Boise and others? Will they become Independents? Or cave and jump in with whatever conference that will take them (Mountain West?).

The chaos is not quite over yet, but we have a list of future conferences for those of you keeping score at home. Below is a complete list of what each conference will look like by 2024.
