College Football Expert Revamps Conferences, Preserving UCLA in Pac-12, Introducing Pac-8
The UCLA Bruins are on the verge of moving from the pac-12 to one of the best conferences in the college landscape, the Big 10.
This move is monumental and will reshape how we view college football and will be different from how we came to know college football.
Nonetheless, it will happen, and we'll only have to wait one more season for it to go down. However, the move is a controversial one. as many don't like the move due to a geographical sense, among other things.
The Atheltic staff writer for college football David Ubben took matters into his own hands and decided to realign the conferences, as he kept the Bruins in the Pac-12 but mixed it up and changed it to the Pac-8.
He kept UCLA in the Pacific Athletic Conference, along with Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, USC, Washington, and Washington State.
Ubben says he doesn't like the misleading names and wants conferences to stick with the number of teams that are actually in the conference.
The Big Ten hasn’t had 10 teams in 30 years and will expand to 16 next year. The Big 12 hasn’t had 12 members in a decade. The Pac-10 had to rebrand when it added two teams.
If you have a number in your name, that’s how many teams call your conference home. Period. Let’s introduce some common sense to a sport with too little of it.
For Ubben, this is the perfect scenario, but unfortunately, that's not how things work. Money talks and it has a big mouth, UCLA is going to a conference where they will be treated right, and they deserve it as they are one of the most prestigious schools in the nation.
After 95 years in the Pac-10/Pac-12, UCLA will move on to bigger and better things. The only thing left now is to put a formidable team on the gridiron.
