As an alumnus of Utah and the University of National Champions, I selfishly would be all in on the idea. Utah is already traveling very far for Big12 games, almost always far enough to require air travel. Most ACC destinations have much better airports and flights than the Big12 schools. The non-revenue sports could play in the Western Pod more often than distant campuses.

FSU and Miami have a pile of national championships in football and Florida is either the best state or second best to Texas as a recruiting source for football talent.

76% of the US population lives in the Eastern or Central time zones, almost half of the US lives in the Eastern time zone. Eyeballs give you stature, recruiting and revenue.

If I ruled the world, I would take us back to the small conferences. When I started college, you could realistically drive to any road game – with Wake, Duke, NC State and UNC within 2 hours of each other on the same interstate. Atlanta and College Park, MD were the longest road trips from Chapel Hill. But we are NEVER going back to that world.

Break up these big conferences. When I started college we could drive to every school, Maryland to Georgia Tech. Now you cannot do that and we lost most of those regional features mentioned in the original post. I miss my 8 team conference.

I would like it better adding Texas Tech, OKST, Kansas & Kansas State. But I am sure all of them have BIG10 dreams.

Raiding conservative schools to join anything connected to California may be difficult in our current climate. (SDSU)

Kids in juvenile justice need to see that there is a future down the road for them.  That often has nothing to do with the juvenile justice system, or the justice system as a whole. A world of opportunity includes opportunity for everyone. I think we get too interested in how many social programs we have, versus how much opportunity there is for everyone in our society.

I have been a defendant in juvenile court, admittedly for violent felonies. None of those folks got to ever meet me again because I saw that I could do something with myself and go to college. It wasn’t some special program that reached down and saved me, I just lived in a world that had a lot of opportunities that I needed to take advantage of. I don’t plan on ever being referred to as “defendant” again while in court, if you meet me in court these days you have to call me your honor.

We need to make sure there are plenty of opportunities, and then leave it to the juveniles to go out and get theirs. 100 altruistic social workers are completely ineffectual if the kid does not want to change.

Rose altered pitching rotations and substitutions in favor of games he bet on, and then left his team “short-handed” for games he had no bets on. That is compromising the game, full stop. But I loved that guy as player, he should 100% be in the Hall of Fame, especially considering his bust would rest among the busts of some real human garbage.

Much better, thanks.
