The way I see it College Football is losing a lot of tradition and history in this realignment. Utah, Ariz, ASU, Colo to the Big 12 revitalizes the regionality and tradition in this realignment. California doesn’t care about the sport, the only sad part of this is losing the Oregon schools who care about the sport.
Culturally speaking we share more in common with the Big 12 than the Pac12 which is why I have supported the move prior to Colorado leaving.
