ASU - flagship football program in state (Arizona is a basketball school first). Good weather, not too strict academics but a legitimate university, coach that will be there a long time. No clue about funding/NIL, but we’ll see.

BYU - Honor code will always be an issue in football when you have to stay 3 years. Also hard where most elite football talent is in the south, and the south doesn’t like Mormons very much.

Iowa State - Too small.

Colorado - State doesn’t care enough about football, will probably die whenever Deion leaves.

Baylor - Rich school, lots of money, great football state in a real city close to Dallas.

TCU - Same, but actually in Dallas/FW.

Texas Tech - in the middle of nowhere.

Kansas State - Second school in a small state.

West Virginia - It’s West Virginia.

Kansas - traditionally crappy football, basketball first.

Cincinnati - It’s in Cincinnati, surrounded by huge blue bloods, playing in a (perceived) smaller league. Also basketball first.

Houston - Potential sleeping giant who sucks right now.

Utah - second school in the state, legendary coach is about to retire, limited NIL, ugly colors, ugly girls, etc.

Arizona - Basketball first.

UCF - I would rate higher if it wasn’t clearly the fourth best football school in the state. But some potential with huge student body in a nice part of the state.

Oklahoma State - middle of nowhere, clear little brother in the state.
