Fans, analysts and media personalities loyal to the Pac-12 and Big 10 conferences had mixed reactions to the news. Here are some of their thoughts:
Pac-12 Analyst Yogi Roth - Gifted player. Big news. With NIL coming the #Pac12 footprint makes a ton of sense and could be a home run for him on/off the field. And add in KT, Sewell & Foreman - the #Pac12 is keeping top 10 & front 7 draft picks home in recent years.
Sports Illustrated Recruiting Analyst John Garcia Jr. - Tough to get in each visit in a short span. Rare whiff for Saban, Alabama.
Seattle Sports Media Kevin Shockey - Wow... This is pretty significant news in the college football recruiting world.
