Can you elaborate? Do you just hate the fact that the pac 12 is imploding due to all the mismanagement which has more or less forced teams to move away?
Or do you think it's a bad move for these schools? Because sticking around is not a very attractive option for UW and Oregon. The media deal alone would be shitty for both the schools and the fans.
In a perfect world, I would agree that keeping the pac 12 and all the teams would be most ideal, IF it were managed properly, had better tv deals, better scheduling, etc.
I hate that money is the driving force here. It's not a bad move for Washington given the fact that USC and UCLA are already leaving, but the other schools left behind will suffer.
I do think that travel is an issue. It's an additional burden on these kids.
Also, if you have ever had a child play college sports, you like to go to as many games as possible, and that will be pretty tough for any parent now that isn't well-to-do. It's one thing to drive to Beaverton, it's another to have to fly to Columbus, Ohio. I'm not talking just about football, but other sports as well.
Regional rivalries are cool, and they go way back. This re-alignment will put a damper on historical rivalries like Cal vs. Stanford, Huskies vs. Cougars, etc. Yes, they can still play, but will it mean as much if they aren't playing in the same league?
I think I hate just about everything having to do with this. TV and greed are ruling college sports.
