If only they had annulments in college football.
The super-mega-whatever-you-call-it conference is now on its way with Syracuse and Pitt announcing their divorce from the Big East.
Divorce as a word carries so much more weight with it because of the difficulties that the two parties are expected to deal with after.
Your friends may treat you differently and some of them may not even like you anymore, (here’s looking at you, Baylor and Texas A&M.)
Your new spouse may even try psychologically hurting your old ex. In this case, the ACC wants to hold its postseason tournament in Madison Square Garden.
The worst case scenario would be if all of your past spouses all wanted to be back with you. Colorado has redefined the George Strait song “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.”
Even if everything goes swimmingly and everybody is happy with the end result, there is the risk that something in your new relationship will change. Just ask Utah if they are ready to become bottom feeders after only one year as members of the Pac-12.
College football re-alignment has been messy so far, and I don’t see it getting any better. For now we will just have to reminisce about all the beautiful marriages we have broken up for the love of TV money.
