the college sports greed thread

Post by waahoohah »

Did I say greed? I meant "perfectly sensible athletic realignment".

Colorado is practically on the west coast. The waters of the Pacific just have to make it past Nevada, and Utah.

I, for one, love the idea of having Nebraska in the Big Ten.

Boise State left the WAC today and joined the Mountain West. A win for the Mountain West conferance but a lost for the WAC.

Big 12 is history. The Mountain West will emerge stronger, as will the Pac Ten and Big Ten.


Also, screw USC. They got what they deserved.

If the powers that be, in the SEC (hey that rhymed, I rule) ever consider this crap, I would be beside myself, and that is a place you don't want to be. Shit, I'm here already, hey man......

Anyhoo, that would just break up too much tradition. Hope this doesn't catch on.

Me too. Another self-righteous, overrated program joins a self-righteous, overrated conference.

Perfect match.

Hey, where do you think Baylor and Iowa State will wind up? The part of me that watches forklift accidents on Youtube wants to know.

People love to hate USC for the same reasons they love to hate Duke, and jumped all over their lacrosse team scandal preemptively. They're rich and they're better than you.

I hate USC because I can't stand Pete Carroll. He did not endear himself to NY while he was coaching there. Seattle fans will learn the same.

Being a Yankees fan you should be able to relate to my "rich and better than you" theory. I love Pete Carroll's coaching philosophy. Nobody can deny how successful he's been as a college coach, where the ability to recruit is the best skill to have. I was disappointed that he went to my rival Seahawks. Had the 49ers not tapped Singletary I'm sure Carroll would have preferred to return to the team as a head coach. He's an SF native afterall.

Carroll is a lousy NFL coach, mark my words.. Why the Seahawks front office didn't see this is beyon..... Oh wait, that's right- they had to fire Mora after one season as a HC.. Despite a good draft, they will wallow in mediocrity for a while longer (until they move to LA)..

I am very, VERY dissappointed with higher education right now.
