Presenting for your Friday entertainment pleasure Snarky and The Snarketts β¦
I really feel sorry for Standford, California, Oregon State and Washington State. The other members of the Pac 12 jumped to other conferences for more money and left them high and dry with no one to play with.
For you visual learners, and/or for those who did not read the previous HWIT post, here is a chart procured from a Face Book page that shows the 2024 Conference Alignments.
I really think the 2023 college football season will be the last as we know it. In 2024 the games will be all for the money and little for the show. But I digress into seriousness. Back on Snark course…
In an effort to assist the four schools left on the West Coast, today I am offering up schools and institutions for their consideration to form a new conference called, The π R Squared Conference.
My first selection is Dallas South Oak Cliff High School or Austin Westlake High School. These two school are always in state of Texas championship games. Teams could alternate years and it would be a non-conference game and a good warm up. Teams can play at Jerry World.
My second selection is Princeton. Why? I like Princeton. The former College of New Jersey played in the first football game ever. Albert Einstein taught there. This should be a good intellectual fit for Stanford and California. Have you ever listened to a Princeton sporting event? It goes like this: The opponent – Donald Running Back – is majoring in General Studies with a minor in Sports Identification. The Princeton- Dewey Running Back- is majoring in quantum physics, with a minor in international law. He speaks Russian and Mandarin Chinese and plays violin with the New Jersey Symphony.
Next selection is MIT. Like Princeton this is a very smart school. I bet, like myself, you were unaware that MIT even fielded a football team. Meet the Division III Calculators. Seriously, the MIT football team is called the Engineers.
Next is the University of Phoenix. The games of course will be played on-line, perhaps via ZOOM whenever you feel like watching and taking the exam.
My final selection is the Bellarmine Knights. This very, small private bible school in Louisville is also only on-line. But it plays Sprint Football. The sport is not recognized by the NCAA and in fact the NCAA refers to it as Non-football. However, the league (Yes, there is a Sprint Football League) does follow the NCAA football rules. The catch is there is a weight requirement. A player cannot weigh over 178 pounds. This just sounds like inter collegiate football for skinny boys.

HWIT – The newly proposed π R Squared Conference – Standford, California, Oregon State, Washington State, Dallas South Oak Cliff High School or Westlake High School, Princeton, MIT, University of Phoenix and Ballarmine.
Happy Friday. Pray for rain. Pray for Hawaii and Maui!
