Who’s to blame for college football conference realignment chaos? Here are top candidates. Realignment chaos has roiled college football again, for better or worse. So who's to blame for it? Here is a list to start. Arizona State President Michael Crow recently tried to explain why there has been so much sudden instability and change at the highest levels of college football. After 45 years in the Pac-12 Conference, his school announced last week it was joining the Big 12 in 2024, along with three other Pac-12 schools in another unsettling wave of realignment. "There are a lot of forces at work, including the overlords of the media empire that are out there that were driving a lot of this," he said. But who exactly and why? USA TODAY Sports came up with a short list of power brokers whose leadership and decisions facilitated this, for better or for worse, and then reached out to them to see whether they wanted to discuss it publicly. None said they did. What did they do? As a result of their actions − directly or indirectly – the once-glorious Pac-12 has nearly disintegrated, leaving huge fan bases on the West Coast abandoned by longtime peers in favor of more money from television companies, along with more cross-country trips for athletes in other sports across three time zones. On the other hand, the Big Ten Conference now is adding Oregon, Washington, Southern California and UCLA to expand to 18 teams for 2024, part of a strategy to deliver more big games and growth for some of the game’s biggest brands.

This is what happens when they begin to wallow in ignorance. Ignorance begets ignorance. It can't help but grow into complete stupidity in their own reasoning or thoughts. They would rather believe a lie instead of the truth of the matter. They just can't seem to come to grips to the reality of the facts. It's called "blue blood syndrome". Or as someone else on another post best described the root cause to their mental breakdown.... "Duck Derangement Syndrome."

I am sure he was joking about it. The issue with texting, those reading it can't detect it being a joke. One of the bad things about texting, not having the ability to see face to face/talking in person.

Yes, i bet it would cost a small fortune! 🫤
