Raul and I were just talking about this: how to realign the conferences. Not that long ago, CU declined to join the Pac-10. This article, and the following comment to it by some poster, address it. The writer for the Boulder Daily Camera is taking a lot of heat from the "flyover state" complex crowd ("we belong with the Huskers and Sooners, not a bunch of pretty boy surfers"), but I'm open to the idea. Nobody ever goes to road games in Ames, Manhattan, Stillwater, Norman, Lincoln, etc.; why not have them in L.A., Seattle, the Bay Area, and so on? Another poster pointed out that CU has the highest percentage of out-of-state students of any state u in the country, most of them from the left coast. Any thoughts on this? Any other realignment proposals?

The Pac-10 has rivalries down the board. They should invite both CU and CSU to the mix. Twelve schools, split into divisions, add conference game and additional multi mil payoff, great setup.The west has tons of people with ties to this state. Attendance at every away game but especially the Rose Bowl and Colisseum would blow away current numbers.We could still play CSU first weekend at Invesco every year for an early firstplace conference lead. Hows that opening College Football to the nation?
