At this stage of game, it is all about adding inventory, particularly on the West Coast. Not to say the four Pac-12 holdovers will do a number on linear TV, but we know Oregon State and Washington State have proud and rabid fanbases that will pack their stadiums to the brim. As far as Cal and Stanford are concerned, they have put forth very competitive football teams in years past. They have rigid academic standards to navigate, but can put forth winning products at times. Ultimately, I think rapid AAC expansion by way of the leftover absorption helps both parties considerably. The Pac-12 schools get a new and competitive league to play in, while the AAC increases its market visibility and television inventory. It may be a step down for the other four, but the AAC has outpaced the more-established Mountain West for the better part of a decade. College football realignment was never about making geographical sense; it's all about the money. Edited August 8, 2023 by 86atlbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he make mistakes? Sure. But at some point, USF needs to reconcile with the father of USF football. Not trying to hijack the thread. Just glad he's doing his part to help USF in conference realignment. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
