    Conference Realignment: Why it is BAD for the Pac-12

    To start off season two of College Kid Talkin' College Sports, Kuria talks about all the different teams moving around from conference realignment. From Oklahoma & Texas to UTSA and James Madison, there are plenty of teams moving around. But the main question is, how does this negatively impact the Pac-12 conference and WSU football? A conference and program that seems to always having to climb ropes just to make it back at surface level. My colleague from KUGR Radio play-by-play commentary, Matt Zarosinski, helps me analyze whether this is a positive, negative, or if it even affects the Pac-12.
