I decided to make this post after reading several posts on the UConn Boneyard message board. Yes, the younger generation does have very different desires than the older generation, but the younger generations, both X & Y tend to give ideas and people more of a chance than the old, we're old and too darn set in our ways Baby Boomers.

How it affects realignment is thusly: what the old power brokers want is what they will get. If the old power brokers @ Texas & Oklahoma want to join the PAC 12, then forget everything else you heard to the contrary, and bank on them going to PAC 12. If they want to join the SEC, same thing. Content driven realignment is no doubt in the future, but as long as the old blue hairs are in control, we will continue to have the market model, IMO.
