Traditionalist will tell you that the titanic shifts that is the NCAA's realignment is bad for the sport and could potentially ruin rivaleries. Thats only half true (riveralies ruined). But the new aged fan gets his way and the traditionalist cant get but too upset after the dust has cleared and settled. The Big 12 remains intact after rumors of its demise and the rise of the PAC 16!! (it sounded evil in my head with an evil lauf to compliment it) Nebraska heads over to the big 10 and Colorado heads west to the Pac 10. The Big 12 (with 10 teams) survives as Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma all decided to remain in the conference. Utah also accepts its invite to the Pac 10 (now has 12 teams). the question now is bowl games. will the Big 12 lose its championship game? will the Pac 10 and Big 10 gain a chipper? will there be any name changes? a lot of questions that will soon have its answers.
IM JUSS SAYIN....
i personally woulda loved a super conference like the Pac 16, or the Big 10 getting Missouri as well. But I'm also happy with the results. Nebraska can create some new and interesting rivalries with Ohio state and Penn state. Utah can finally prove to the nation that it belongs in the ranks of the elite. There is a lot of pluses with the new alignment.
