Conference realignment is the talk of college football these days. Texas and Oklahoma are joining the SEC, the Big 12 is adding Houston, BYU, UCF and Cincinnati.
The AAC is looking to replace some teams, perhaps from the Mountain West.
But, how about thinking outside the box? As you can see below, Big Sky commissioner Tom Wistrcill took to Twitter on Tuesday while he was in Chicago to propose merging his conference with the Big Ten:

Obviously, Wistrcill is joking, but the video is funny nonetheless.
The Big Sky does have some strong football programs, though. Eastern Washington beat UNLV already this year, and UC Davis has a win over Tulsa on its resume.
You never know!
