72 to 80 teams is way too many (unfortunately) for the economics...
I'd love it to be 70+ teams, but it will never be that big.
I think 36-40 is the more likely number.
But yeah, 4 conferences with 9 teams works much better.
(Not great for BYU.... we need it to be 40-48 teams)

With 8 or 9 team divisions that is less likely than with 6
