Darn West Coast. Guess we better get used to this late night stuff.
Arizona doesn't change their clocks for daylight savings time. They stay on Mountain Standard Time year round. So, part of the year they are 2 hours behind us. The other part of the year, they are only 1 hour behind us.

Pro tip, the clock on my phone can display what the current time is in different cities. Helps when working with people in different time zones and countries.

They aren't doing divisions you guys
Agreed with 14. 16 they probably won’t because of how things are trending, but I’d argue they should. Once these leagues go to 16, then the talk should be going to a 10 game schedule to play as many teams in your conference as possible. But that likely doesn’t happen until it’s time to negotiate TV contracts again.

My other humble opinion, the PAC 12 will survive this round of realignment. Simply because they have A5 status and good bowl tie-ins.

Just like what we did to the AAC, they will cherry puck from the Mountain West conference.

It gets really easy if they agree to take 6 schools. Those schools would then have a majority vote in the MWC to set exit fees or dissolve the conference.

*This is what A5 means. It was a key leverage point in getting schools from the AAC to join the Big XII instead of the AAC gutting the Big XII.

A5 won’t matter after this season.
