Southside Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Decent article from a Louisville perspective. https://www.si.com/college/louisville/othersports/weighing-conference-realignment-options Quote
Southside Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Good article on what led up to the USC and UCLA additions, and also decent discussion on the PAC, B12, and ACC. I knew UCLA was having financial trouble, but didn't know it was that bad. Talks a little about the break up of Cal and UCLA (sibling schools) and also the exodus's impact on the Rose Bowl tradition. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34217498/inside-stunning-usc-ucla-move-big-ten-chaos-followed Josh 1 Quote
Southside Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Article on UNC including their Chancellor's comments. https://chapelboro.com/sports/optimistic-kevin-guskiewicz-talks-unc-and-conference-realignment TLDR... ACC is locked up with ESPN through 2036, but very obvious UNC is not happy with the deal. The "grant of rights" on top of the $120M buyout makes it pretty hard to leave the ACC. The grant of rights basically means the ACC owns the school's rights through 2036 even if they leave the ACC lol. Given the SEC is tied up to 2034 with ESPN, not sure why ESPN would want to simply give the ACC more money given they're on the hook through 2036... now maybe if the ACC adds schools, but why would they just offer more if they're not getting anything new....

Also the football rankings are based on just the last 5 years, which is too small a sample in my opinion. With that said, I’ve seen people mention Kansas and Houston as possibilities, and they are ranked as the 2 least desirable of all power 5 colleges by this ranking. Southside 1 Quote

With that said, I’ve seen people mention Kansas and Houston as possibilities, and they are ranked as the 2 least desirable of all power 5 colleges by this ranking. In the polls I published, I used FB and BB, as well as academic rank, with a little input on market. BB is pretty decent impact to level of attractiveness, but it's not everything. It is something that could tip the scale if all other things are equal or close to equal. I think academics are perhaps overrated to an extent. IMO, as long as don't totally suck (fall out of a certain threshold), a non-AAU team would be fine (they could always join, and Nebraska is not). I don't mind them using the last 5 years. Teams that are down, are simply down. If they've been down for the last 5 year but kept their market share, then the attractiveness is still probably high. Kansas to me aside from BB, just stinks lol. Houston has both good BB and FB, and also a good market. While their viewership might not be where it needs to be, joining the B10 would almost instantly change that. The planned move to the B12 in 2024 has already changed some things for them. Quote
