There is a lot of realignment going on this next season, many teams shifting from one or another, and for what reason, who really knows the REAL reason, just what you can actually hear them say and that they are allowed to say. Some leave because they dont think teams are good enough, some leave because the teams are to good, also the money thing is there as well as the tv thing. Some are privately asked to leave for one reason or another. then some leave because they dont want to play some of the existing teams or the up coming teams, so they get out, why, are they afraid of being beat, are they afraid of loosing money, are they afraid of not enough TV time, Nobody if really gonna know the answers, because the schools and the NCAA dont want the public to know as it could hurt one team or another.
