conferences.
Brief explainer :
"In sports leagues, teams are regulated through a promotion and relegation system that moves teams up and down divisions based on their performance. Teams that perform well are promoted to higher divisions, while teams that perform poorly are relegated to lower divisions.
In the English soccer premier league the bottom 3 teams are regulated."
So based upon the PL setup.. UCF, Utah, and OK State would be kicked out for the next season and they'd have to work their way back up.
You could regulate them down to the G5 conferences in their respective regions. So Utah would get regulated down to the Mountain West. 🙂
