The only thing wrong here is that the writer assumes he'll get another scholarship. More than half the youngsters entering the portal do not find another scholarship and far less find P5 programs. It's with considerable risk that they leave.
My wife commented in the second half: Kansas is better. Lance will have a competitive team maybe as early as next year. This one, with guys like Potter making dumb plays, just doesn't have enough athletic ability. I thought your third QB was your best though. Lance is a class dude. A refreshing change from Les. #emaw
That reads like Goff is speaking platitudes to Ku fans rather than offering a statement based on reality. Perhaps that's the role of a young athletic director though, to fire up the base. Clearly, coach Lance is an upgrade over coach Les, although that's a low hurdle. The Jayhawks were fun to watch last night.
This feels a little like being the German general prior to D-Day, hoping that there's a settlement where Germany keeps Czechoslovkia and Poland, that wouldn't be too bad; or it forms an alliance with Russians again to ward off Churchill's bombers; but fearing the truth, surrender, and dismemberment.
This is about football. An alliance of football and MBB would bring the Pac 12 Network a Midwest footprint and people who actually care about college sports. Leave the other sports in their conferences as they are today. It's a good concept worth pursuing. Unlike a merger, an alliance would allow the B12 to add BYU without causing the left coast Ivys to go epileptic.
