Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim works at a basketball school and is among the many coming to grips with the fact that, well, basketball doesn't matter when it comes to conference realignment.

He had this to say about the issue last week on Lexy:
"It's really that crazy. Driven by football. Football all the way. And it's ironic that basketball raises 90 percent of the money for the NCAA, and football's making all these decisions. It's amazing really when you think about it."
Yes, it's true the NCAA tournament makes gobs of cash, but the NCAA is staying out of the expansion issue. So leave it to football, the cash cow for its membership institutions, to be the root of all realignment.
