John Buggs IIII Lands At............................
It is very common for players that enter the portal, to return to their old teams. Obviously, the coach has to want them back and be willing to set a precedent that will allow players to return. I would expect a lot of programs are not willing to do that. However, in reality the better the player is; the more likely he/she will be welcomed back. -

Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.
PS: I would like to add that I have NEVER been correct in predicting how conference will realign. I thought that a movement towards regional conferences in an effort to curb rising travel expenses and increase gate attendance would be the way to go. Silly me . Stanford and Cal joined the ACC , UNT added a polo team,and here we sit. Oh well! -

Private schools may be caught in the middle, unless you are USC. My best guess is that if you are in an existing P4 school you will have the option of playing with the big boys or dropping down.The Big 10 and SEC are driving this realignment along with television and streaming services. For the sake of argument lets say it is decided by the decision makers to take 50 high profile football programs and spin them off from the NCAA. With the Big 10 and SEC accounting for at least 30 schools that leaves 20 to be added from the ACC and Big 12 conferences plus Notre Dame . I don't know if the SEC will kick Vanderbilt to the curb but I doubt P4 private schools such as SMU,TCU, and Baylor will be invited to the party as this new conglomerate is looking for programs that have somewhat of a national presence. But what about schools like Mississippi State for example.Well, they are already in the fraternity, sort of like a legacy. You may not want them in but you can't kick them out. Any G6 program that anticipates a "bid" is "whistling Dixie" , as we old timers used to say. I wish the the existing P6 conferences would make the first move and leave the NCAA in football and establish their own playoff system extending an open invitation to the P4 programs who will be left behind .However since I have no idea what television and streaming services stances are its hard for me to fault them for not going all in. -

I'm not sure conference membership is going to be the determining factor on where the line is snapped. There is a lot of dead weight in some of the so-called P4 (and even P2) conferences that don't really belong above the line. So rather than giving a handful of G5s a life boat, it's more likely that a lot of schools that think they are safe, will find themselves on the outside looking in just like the rest of us.- 4
