And within the P5, like within the B1G, Michigan likes having Indiana around for the same, and for tradition - which yes, still counts for a ton.

We will see conference realignment at times, but nothing seismic, at least not in the forseeable future, IMO.

Realignment at the top level historically is triggered by an imbalance created by the market changing or the membership getting out of balance in their contribution to the revenue of the conference.

If the TV model changes and the SEC or Big 10 cannot enhance their revenue position, they won't change and they won't change for the sake of changing.
