Patch to permanently fix Conference Realignment?

dont forget the new schedules, i assume the pac 16 would go with a 9 gm schedule playing 2 rotating schools every 2 years in the opposite division. we dont know when the movement will stop or if all the questions will get answered before even 2012. then teams currently left out in the cold as far as their future beyond when the big 12 closes up shop may not find a home in time for next year's game either.

theres way too much guesswork involved now and theres likely still going to be a lot of guesswork if they somehow incorporate this into ncaa 12. its early, but there is the possibility that it will be too difficult for them to pull off.

To keep it real. it's not in yet, but it will be in 2-3 years. What happens when your 15 years into a dynasty and still no expanded conferences?

PS
Yeah, I know realistically this isn't happening, but it still would be nice, and despite what you might say, realistic.

yeah, I was only naming a few. the schedules would be a big problem as well. The Pac-10 does a 9 game conference schedule as it is now, so that wouldn't need to change. structuring it up into divisions and a possible conference championship game would need to be done though.

I really don't expect the conference realignment to be into until NCAA FB 13, unless of course something happens in real life that'll allow certain teams to move to their new conferences for next season(2011).

I don't see how you're overlooking how that statement doesn't make sense. Patches can fix anything within a game. It is used to fix the coding within the game that was causing errors. Whether it be a gameplay issue, or menu bugs.
