This may be the first instance in recorded history where being stuck in New Jersey worked in someone's favor.

Haha, nice one!

certainly not the taxes. I'm so tempted to leave for Florida given the taxes and awful politics here. But my job and family are all here.

Tulane and Georgia Tech, both.

Hell, even Sewanee and the University of Chicago might’ve had second thoughts about dropping out, if they had truly known what was in store for big-time athletics.

Had they moved back then, the landscape would be totally different and both would be safe in a rich and powerful league.

I mean, the ACC isn’t chopped liver. But yeah, I’m sure they’d rather be in the SEC right now.

To me, it’s notable (in retrospect) that Utah got picked for the PAC-12, leaving BYU in the dust. But now, BYU’s about to be in the Big XII, and some rumors that it may poach the PAC. We’ll see how it goes, but how ironic if BYU is in a “P4” league while Utah is left in a depleted PAC backfilling from the Mtn. West.
