Notice that neither Christ nor Knowlton are ever mentioned in the article. In fact, the only time Cal is mentioned it is as a partner to Stanford or part of the trio that also includes SMU. Dellenger paints a picture of zero involvement from Cal. Stanford was the "bell cow" because they were putting in the effort to make an invitation happen.

Yeah feels like we got away with one here. We cannot set ourselves up to do the same in the future though, as I am 99% sure all this realignment shit will happen again pretty soon

So, so right... You are recruited to defend the frontier against Xur and the Kodan armada, um... SEC and the B1G. If anyone doesn't like being in the ACC then not to worry... it will only survive to the GOR expiration which will be too late get in good with the Dark Overlord conferences.

Agreed. And the sooner Cal starts positioning itself to weather the next realignment storm, the better.

Some drive the bus while others are just on for the ride. Apparently only bus drivers need apply for the B1G. I just hope that if it ever comes to UVA leaving for the B1G that we aren't asked to carry Virginia Tech and their zero national championships in any NCAA sport with us (bass fishing and cow tipping still don't count). Besides, Tech isn't an AAU school, anyway.
