Realignment only helps football, so I can see this settling out into a football only thing with the other sports reverting back to regional conferences in the long run


This is where they screwed the pooch with all of this. All of these supposed educated administrators and big time coaches should have seen this long ago. Me and my friends have discussed this for years. We all knew eventually this would happen with teams joining mega conferences. We had always said if it did it needed to be just football. Football should by itself not lumped in with all other sports.

It is going to be bad (and expensive) for the Big12 as well. Its a long flight from Salt Lake (Utah and BYU) or Phoenix/Tucson (AZ and AZ State) to Orlando or Morgantown or Cincinnati. And Big12 schools will have millions less media money to pay for those baseball, softball, tennis, golf trips.

Agreed. However, football funds all those other sports, (minus mbball), so that would require schools to use some common sense. I'm not sure most university hierarchy has this.

Money has the last word in everything these days. Americans worship money, not God.
