My conspiracy theory (really hope it never even gets entertained as a possibility!).
What's to stop clubs around the lower half of the league, and who could still in theory be caught by University having a quiet word to each other and saying 'well if we work together we can get them relegated', 'we will play a shark team here, if you play a shark team here etc'.
All the teams around postions 4-7 who really aren't good enough to win the league make sure each other pick up enough points to keep University at the bottom of the table because in all honesty they are seemingly miles ahead of any other team in the league going by results, so to have them out of it for this year, and next year would be like a bit pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. No offence to Parklands or whoever will probably come up from Div 2, but University are so much better that them it isn't funny. Win win situation for those left in Div 1 next year as it's an easier road in who they will play next year.
Really hope this isn't entertained, but I will be suprised if I am the only one who has had the thought go through their mind. As I have come to realise, football is very much do what is best for my club, stuff the rest. If clubs get together to put an unofficial plan together, sad day for the sport.
