This Tony Altimore fella deserves to be trolled like crazy. The guy's ego is

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

2/16/23 2:03pm

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

Bob Vance

2/16/23 2:10pm

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

BlooCoog

2/16/23 2:41pm

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

2/16/23 2:06pm

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

Bob Vance

2/16/23 2:07pm

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.

BlooCoog

2/16/23 2:23pm

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

runningryan

2/16/23 2:27pm

Unreal. Confirmation bias is real.

BlooCoog

2/16/23 2:42pm

He should just admit he hates BYU.

TerpCoug

2/16/23 7:50pm

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

Mitty

2/16/23 2:37pm

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

Brandoblueblood

2/16/23 3:07pm

I'd argue the PAC/B1G/ACC are (or were) all academically near-equivalents. Then SEC then XII

krindorr

2/16/23 3:15pm

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

jvquarterback

2/16/23 3:21pm

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

Tmoney1969

USNews Ratings for SEC vs Big 12

2/16/23 8:41pm

If the PAC does lose teams to the B12

You'll have to forgive him because he is young and inexperienced. What does he

TrueBlue67

Academically prestigious...sports conference? 😂

He literally is...he's a fun guy to observe. He's making us rue the day.

Tmoney1969

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

Idaho used to be in the PAC.

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

cougar95

He hates BYU. See these tweets from him.

TempeCoug

2/16/23 4:42pm

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

Brandoblueblood

2/16/23 5:35pm

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

Bob Vance

2/16/23 6:27pm

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

Hill4Heisman

Like the logic that no two countries who have McDonalds have ever fought each other in a war?

He doesn’t think an ACC or PAC school would accept an SEC invitation??
