As I read that article it is focused in areas that make little or no sense and the conclusions seem very subjective. There is no way that UCF's move from CUSA to AAC did not improve every single metric that matters. Money, brand, success, exposure and now an invite to another conference. There is no way that any of that happens if they stay in CUSA. Maybe she is saying that it would be better if there were no conference realignment at all. But the business of football requires it.
