A wild day on the conference realignment front culminated in Utah State University reportedly accepting an invite to join the Pac-12 Conference.
As can be imagined, there was plenty of strong reaction to the news on social media. Here is some of that reaction.
Wouldn't be the first time Utah State was a key figure in some backroom realignment drama. https://t.co/9yJ5uqqkeM pic.twitter.com/qnpb6214tg

PAC-12 obviously isn’t what it once was but just a little bit ago the Aggies were in rough shape. https://t.co/9FYcqcdyiD

Utah State going from Big West to Sun Belt to Pac-12 is a pretty impressive Cinderella story to be honest 😂 https://t.co/pLczJ2m3Yw

The funniest possible scenario is both the Pac-12 and MWC ending up with 7 teams and thus both ineligible for a CFP autobid. As the rumors currently stand (changing by the minute), that is the current scenario if Utah State and no one else defects.

Who knew when this day began that Utah State of all schools would suddenly hold so much leverage.
