The Big East football schools, that joined the ACC, were not academic giants.
Only Pitt was AAU member. The ACC already had AAU members Duke, Georgia Tech, UNC, and UVA.
The ACC was the superior academic conference.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Unreal. Confirmation bias is real.

He should just admit he hates BYU.

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

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

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