Thoughts on realignment and postseason

I'm holding off on any victory celebration about college football playoffs until an actual plan is adopted.  So far, all we've gotten is "we'll do it if we find a plan we like."

Instead, I'm following more realignment talk. I've been thinking about Boise State's move to the Big East and how it will affect their recruiting.  Sure, they might have a better chance at getting to a bigger bowl game.  The strength of that conference schedule though is a mess.  And then let's say there is a kid who is being recruited by one of the Pac-12 schools in Washington or Oregon as well as Boise State.  If they go to the Pac-12 school, the longest trip they'll have to make for a conference game is to Arizona.  For Boise State, they'll be all over the place, and all the way out to Florida.  Perhaps a potential player doesn't want to spend all of that time on a plane across the country.  Perhaps he would like to study, practice more, or party.
