The rationale: America deserves a college football conference that speaks to all of America; geographically diverse, culturally inclusive and crazy competitive. America deserves the CCC, the Coast-to-Coast Conference deftly drafted to embrace and energize this country’s college football fans from goalpost to shining goalpost. The CCC looks like America, feels like America and will produce the sort of competitive college football that will make America proud. The rationale: Steeped in tradition, our schools have dominated college football from its inception. It was only fitting then that our draft board began in the Midwest, the cradle of college football, where there are no two schools more iconic than Notre Dame and Michigan.
