In football we have no rivals, no regular road trips to plan, nothing to play for after the first loss, no identity, no bowl tie in...oh but we get tons of exposure. Barf.
I grew up in WCC country--within a half hour of four current schools. I never knew what conference any of them belonged to (or cared)...and I liked college basketball.
It's crap. I really dislike it.
Play Notre Dame, Texas, and Wisconsin during the preseason and lets go back to the MWC.
