It's not that difficult to make a strong case that (when the dust settles) the PAC12 is still in a stronger spot - which is kind of what I've tried to do using strong sources.

I'm not sure I believe that's the CORRECT argument, but it's a reasonable, realistic argument that deserves more credit/respect than just echo chamber responses of "No, no it's not. They're bad and won't get $ based on what I read on Twitter"

As an aside, I'm honestly not sure if your comment is mocking me for the footnotes or not, but I fully admit to getting a bit carried away with them. At first I was just going to have a few, but then I kept finding more info and eventually was typing out full rows of asterisks.
