That's 8 teams. I can imagine adding Rutgers, UConn, 2 others from Yankeeland and trying to get to 12, but I can also imagine keeping it at 8, having no playoff but having a reasonable chance at maximizing $ and getting football teams into the national mix (not our team, of course; our team is another story).
