[NU Sports] 64 out of 120

[Jim Leonard]

I would really like to be wrong. I think this realignment is all a huge mistake and takes us one giant step closer to ruining college athletics. However, once the four 16-team conferences are in place, about 98% of the revenue and brand recognition will be on one side of the fence. Historically, that balance of power will not sustain itself.

As Keith Jackson might have said, "Whoa, Nellie."

Maybe Jim will, in time, be proven right. But let's cross that bridge when
we get there ...
