Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
I heard a bunch of talking heads today saying how bad it is now that UCLA swimming has to travel to Rutgers and how hard that trip will be. I thought about it and I’m like, wait, Nebraska and Iowa non revenue sport teams have been traveling to Rutgers and vise versa for like 13 years. They’ve made it work. I bet you anything the trip from LA to NY is easier than the trip from NE/IA to NY. Just drunk thoughts
I'm also hearing people ***** about football teams having to go from coast to coast from week to week.
Notre Dame has been doing it for 100 years. It can be done.
Well that didn't take long.
No way they haven't been prepping for this in the background

Arizona can have it. **** Baylor.
Not gonna lie, I am indifferent about UoA, but that’s pretty good.
Dallas doesn't work we've been there attendance sucked. I really want the conference tourney site to be determined by fan interest.
Don't worry. Then Big 10 will get more teams in. That probably won't change.
I believe the applicable phrase here is "he went kicking and screaming"
"We are excited for this new chapter, a move that is necessary to remain competitive in top-tier Division 1 athletics," said ASU President Michael Crow. "We are joining a premier athletic conference and bringing with us programs on the rise, our rich traditions and history, and the metro Phoenix media market. We're in a good spot, and we are pleased to be with UArizona and Utah in the move"

Either Missouri or Nebraska is in between Iowa and Kansas.
Kansas City is smack dab in the middle of this new national conference. It's perfect.
You could go back go the Oklahoma TV deal lawsuit in the 80s
At least you have schools like Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, and BYU to feel good for. Among schools like Utah and TCU who have also been promoted before. WSU and OSU might have a better chance making the playoffs now than ever before, which could lead to a future promotion again.
He started it, but it's pretty tough to look back on all this movement in the last 13 years and try to argue that none of it would have happened without Nebraska moving.

There’s a fault line running directly under the stadium that will take care of that debt eventually
Yeah, but just a tiny corner....not like several states of the other outliers. Looking at the footprint, its hard to really call ISU an outlier.
