Realignment Carousel Spins Up again (USC and UCLA to Big 10)

True! And every gamer knows that the first option is fantasy land and that two years in the clink is better than three. So always throw the other guy under the bus. Always.

If the land grant "state" schools from Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Oregon, Washington, and Texas somehow circle the wagons and survive the final conference consolidations, the university presidents at each of those schools deserve an Oscar, Nobel, and a couple of shares of Berkshire Hathaway for their troubles. Many of them are not worthy, either with respect to athletic strength or academic profile.

I'll never stop wondering what kind of cards WSU might have been dealt out all of this were it not for Lew Perkins, and potentially Boatright. A terrible football program is worth immensely more than no football program, especially amongst our peer group and profile. There's no way to convince me otherwise.

The Stanford and Cal to the AAC talk amongst Shocker fans on here is veering uncomfortably close to Missouri State fans and the manilla envelope talk a decade or two ago.

Woohoo! We're going to the B12!

Will the real WSU please stand up?

Still wild to think two years ago, the talk was the AAC was going to absorb the remaining B12 schools.

They (AAC) should add Cal and Stanford to get to 16.

What other schools would raise the profile of the AAC that much? What MWC schools would raise the profile of the PAC enough to make it better than the AAC?

No, AAC should join the PAC12. Playoff spot. Autonomy. Etc. might be same TV money, but keeps seat at big boy table.

The issue is the fact that Stanford/Cal can’t travel to many of the AAC schools.

If the ACC is going to fold too, go for big city schools their too:

4 of the following Syracuse, Louisville, Boston College, Pitt, Ga Tech, Miami from the ACC.

Cal and Stanford from the PAC.

20 team conference.

Memphis fans are basically on the ledge .. this basically sealed the fact that they wont get into a power conference.

We made the cut in this one…
