conference now having to compete with overall better football teams who have better average recruiting. They worked hard to be one of the teams in the PAC who, though they didn't have the biggest brand, recruited well and consistently played well against the teams that did. That's going away. They're a good team but this year and next year might be their last strong years relative to the new conference. This year isn't looking good.
It's a hard realization. Add the new $ pressure.
