BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

I can't help but think that sanity will break out on this point. OTOH, there's money involved, so...

The crazy thing is the sane decision would save them millions. Let USC and and UCLA be in a football conference with Ohio State and Michigan.

Let the USC and UCLA softball teams be in a conference with Arizona State and Arizona. The money saved on travel for every other sport is a significant number.

 

Point of order: USC doesn't have a softball team. But otherwise, excellent post.

 

The one drawback to this is that the football programs will then demand an almost total share of athletic department revenue. And they'll get it.

 

They subsidize every other sport as is right now; there'd be no difference

 

Wouldn't Title IX make that impossible?

 

The football programs will move to end those subsidies and keep the loot for themselves..

 

Unpopular opinion among my fellow Tar Heels, but that guy has always been a Grade A dick. I'd trade every last one of the soccer titles to not have him associated with the university.

 

Yeah. I can understand his thinking that, but saying it loud in front of a camera? Not only is it a bad look and bad politics, but you're giving reasons for other elite programs to stick a knife into your program any chance they get.
