From a Wall Street Journal story by Jason Gay headlined “Why College Football Can’t Help Itself”:

Silly me. I spent a few idle moments thinking the collapse of the Pac-12 would help college sports. This plainly ridiculous chaos would provoke school presidents, trustees and conference officials to finally step up and stop the madness.

How naive can a sports columnist be? It was like hoping a poker table would turn into a turkey sandwich.

I should ask the Journal’s ace car columnist Dan Neil if he wants to trade jobs. I’ll drive Lambos in the Alps, and Dan can enjoy the pageantry of Oregon at Rutgers.
