Baylor is the #1 basketball team in the country....hard to claim they bring nothing. In regards to Miami....it is not about them being a small private school with an iffy local fan base....fair or not, they have been able to transcend the normal requirements and are a national brand. The U may stink recently on the field, but they always represent speed, swagger, the "heel" that does it their way. There are few schools in the country that have a stonger national brand than they do local brand....and Miami is one of them.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

LINKEast Carolina and Marshall have been granted a waiver by the NCAA to play their season opener on Aug. 29 -- a week earlier than originally scheduled -- at ECU's Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium as a tribute to the 75 people who died almost 50 years ago in the Marshall plane crash.
Jon Gilbert, East Carolina's athletic director, said ESPN has committed to televising the 50th anniversary game on one of its networks.

Huge commitment for WVU in Wyatt Milum (OT). #1 player in the state of WV and #24 in the country per 247. Brown and staff have always suggested 2021 would be their first real signature class they had the full 2 years to recruit....and off to a good start.
Since there is no sports, I have tackled some projects around the house. This has involved frequent trips to Home Depot and other places. It seems like every time I get in my car (radio is usually on Sirius Radio ESPNU/College Sports channel) the topic is conference realignment. I know they are desperate for something to talk about, but I guess the USC AD made some recent comments that has sparked discussion of USC (and other PAC12 schools) being unhappy in the PAC12.
The Pac 12 network has been sort of a disaster.
Grab USCw, UCLA, 2-4 of the rest, the pac12 is now a minor conference and the big12 will be set for years.
Poor WVU still on its island though.
Go Gators!
