Just like when Marshall, So Miss and ODU bolted early from C-USA, when schools start the process to leave a conference, it's a fait accompli. It's inevitable with only the timing (and $) to be worked out.
This whole musical chairs of conference realignment used to be interesting, now I find it almost laughable.
"clickbait" was originally the name for the titles to get you to click -- the clicks were the main metric that drove ad rates. Now, views, and listens are the metric, so the clickbait moniker has evolved. But I can be convinced that the name is incorrect and that this is better described as a classic Talk Radio bit. It's also a classic summertime ESPN thing.
When I was 17 or so I watched all of VH1s 100 Best ___ during the summer. It's the same stuff. I learned a little bit about some bands and people but also it was largely just a way to get ratings filler for the summertime.
I think it is fine as a piece of entertainment but I lean generally toward the view that this kind of stuff is junk food and I need to stay away from it.
