Given how similar (academically) those top 3 conferences are, they should really look into some more agreements. Not a merger or anything, but an Alliance of sorts would make a lot of sense

Big East schools went to conferences with lesser academic reputations. The PAC

So did A&M and Missouri at the time

The Big East football schools, that joined the ACC, were not academic giants.

Can’t wait until he’s force fed humble pie. That arrogance is why the PAC is in

A few points here; yes, he's dumb and puts too much weight in academics...but he's an academic and that's what they do

krindorr

2/16/23 2:01pm

Yes, it's not an analysis lacking in any credibility. It's just an analysis that doesn't seem to be the overriding

Bob Vance

Yup, I've been on board that he overrated academics for a long time

krindorr

2/16/23 2:07pm

Even then it was a bit patronizing because he was talking about it like BYU is number 1 for that really crappy conf

You’re by far the most rational and level headed guy on here when it comes to

I think if PAC really sees itself as academic elite they join Ivy league...

Honestly? Could see it for Stanford and Cal

Great point.

Most of us understand that viewpoint exists.

His logic is indeed stupid. It’s this same logic that led the PAC 12 not to

BlooCoog

Not saying no one else has his mindset, but he's also objectively wrong.

Thank you for that succinct run down of why the PAC is where it is today.

His biggest hope is that high academic oriented schools in the B1G and the few from the P12 all band together.

Bob Vance

He wants to live in the highest level of heaven in a gated community.

BlooCoog

There's at least one level higher occupied by a "random dentist on twitter," and we should never let him forget that

Bob Vance

Really dislike him. His previous slides said USC/UCLA would never leave.

Kral

This. Stanford/Cal/UW are better (academically) than anything the B1G has

He blocked you on Twitter for that?! Wow.

Yup, I shared the link of the guy who went through the meticulous timeline and actions

runningryan

Unreal. Confirmation bias is real.

BlooCoog

2/16/23 2:42pm

He should just admit he hates BYU.

TerpCoug

And isn't that exactly what USC/UCLA just did?

We need more data on how he measures the academic prestigious of a sports conf

Not even close. Stanford/Cal/UCLA are better than any school in any conference.

Lol...take Vandy out and SEC is the BIG12 academically

Lol, his theory is that no one from say the ACC would jump to the SEC because

So let me get this straight, because Utah is in the Pac12 they are more

He hates BYU. See these tweets from him.

TempeCoug

Typical. None of those reasons have anything to do with sports.

This one is appalling from him. Sheesh Altimore - grow up already.

If you move the Pac12 column to the far right, then the data still fits
