Only in today's messed up world does it make sense for a Pacific coast school, to join an Atlantic Coast conference.

This is completely out of control.

Well…… I don’t believe it’s anyway close to being over. The money exchangers have made their moves, replacing bus rides with charter flights.

So now we can sit back and watch what happens next and how the fans, players, parents, lawyers, unions, courts, politicians, legislative bodies and the schools react to this.

It’ll take some time, but I suspect it’ll be quite a show. 8)

The travel won't be sustainable for many schools. At some point there will be a deal struck to realign into two giant confernces and 4 or 6 divisions of those conferences. The play off will resemble the nfl. It is the only way forward for any of this to make any sort of logistical sense.

There are whispers about a ‘reorganization’………. but let’s hope it’s done correctly from a governance, administrative and legal perspective this time around, and then maybe another billion dollar lawsuit is avoided. Then maybe the game of College Football can have things decided by performance and outcomes on the field of play and not determined by ‘committees’. And most importantly, take care of the kids.
