@j_nashed Fresno St was in the WAC in 2008 when they won the college World Series. And Rice was in the WAC in the late 90s-early 2000s when they made 7 trips to the CWS

Assuming this was purely a baseball decision... incredible what is happening in college athletics. GCU finished 1st in the WAC and won 37 games in Gregg's first season. Then finished 1st and won 36 games and went to a regional in his second season. Then finished 3rd with 31 wins last year. Now off to a tough start in 2026 and he gets fired in March. And this is mid-major college baseball. Head coach fired, mid-season, after 1 year of poor performance at a school who is now in a conference that has only ever had ONE school make it to a Super Regional in it's 25 year history (TCU, no longer a member). So GCU has awesome facilities/resources and should be good. Let's not forget that the current number 1 ranked team in the country went to the CWS last year, and the year prior to that they went 19-33! The standards and expectations within athletic departments are skyrocketing. Outside influence from donors/boosters is at an all-time high. Coach turnover & player turnover are at an all-time high. It is very difficult to build a "program" in today's landscape if the expectation is to win every year. You're not building for the future. You're hunting for a roster of talent that will win TODAY, and then doing the same thing again next year, and the next, and the next. This is a huge reason why rosters are getting older and older. Many coaches don't have time to wait for players to become impactful. They'd prefer you develop elsewhere and they'll recruit you after you've proven it. And no, I don't know all of the details here. Maybe there is more to the story.

@lancegiles @ChrisNTrevino @On3USC @SchraderOn3 @GregBiggins lol yeah right. Oregon would take him in a second if he wanted to flip and Oregon fans would be ecstatic

@ChrisNTrevino @On3USC @SchraderOn3 @GregBiggins Throwing the Oregon hat. Take that team off the list forever. Not smart.

KABOOOOOM!!!! Five-star everything Honor Fa’alave-Johnson commits to #USC! The nation’s No. 1 ATH and top player in California is staying home @On3USC @SchraderOn3 @GregBiggins

@DanTalks1 @grok summarize this post in 3 sentences

@TheCorpatty Not seeing the issue…

Hey ESPN and Mike Tannenbaum, we need a word with you about this graphic

@SuperSmartSport @RedRaiderSports @ChrisLevel @BenjaminGolan @JarrettDRamirez @RRSLJordan @samspiegs @PeteNakos @SWiltfong_ He didn’t do anything, he’s just leaving to go to USC

@RedRaiderSports @ChrisLevel @BenjaminGolan @JarrettDRamirez @RRSLJordan @samspiegs @PeteNakos @SWiltfong_ Whatever Fitch did better have been worth a firing if we lose Brewster

Red Raider commits, blue chippers give their reaction to the news that former DL coach Zarnell Fitch will not return to #TexasTech for the 2026 season #GunsUp #WreckEm on3.com/sites/red-raid…

@CollieronTV That’s a lot of words to say he’s leaving to take the DL job at USC

Texas Tech defensive line coach Zarnell Fitch will not return for the 2026 season according to a source. His contract expired and was not renewed. Fitch spent four seasons with the Red Raiders.

@JustASportGuy Leaving to take the DL job at USC

Well this is super weird news…

@SundevlmanForks @chris_hummer @CBSSports @JohnsonJarret @mzenitz @ShehanJeyarajah Just like McGuire right?

@chris_hummer @CBSSports @JohnsonJarret @mzenitz @ShehanJeyarajah Dude is shit, took a billionaire to make him decent.

Texas Tech defensive line coach Zarnell Fitch is not expected to return to Lubbock for the 2026 season, a source tells @CBSSports. 247sports.com/college/texas-…

@JHopkinsSD … from the fan of a school who has never won a championship in the history of their program

It is at USC.....

@WestCoastCFB USC should definitely get in the playoffs with 3 losses after that schedule

Way too early prediction for USC is 8-3. Yes, USC only has 11 scheduled games currently.

@JamesYoder Hire a failed nepo baby as OC hoping to get part of his family’s fortune. What can go wrong

His dad is the founder of FedEx and is worth $10B This might low-key be the best NIL funding move we’ve seen.

@YahooSports @WSJ And none of those viewers have seen the SEC win a national championship since 2022

The SEC nearly DOUBLED the Big Ten in regular-season TV viewership, per @WSJ 🤯

@bordeauxyoutube Their 2026 schedule included 8 teams that lost 8+ games this season. That is absolute garbage. If they lose 2 games they shouldn’t be in the top 12

Notre Dame shouldn’t join a conference, it’s a unique part about college football that shouldn’t change They play 10 P4 teams next year which is like being in one anyway. The new playoff rule for them to be in as a Top 12 team is dumb, but they should stay independent

@TomFornelli Only 2 SEC teams

Most wins against FBS teams with a winning record among Power Four teams 1. Indiana - 10 2. Oregon - 8 3. BYU - 7 3. Miami - 7 3. Ohio State - 7 6. Alabama - 6 6. Duke - 6 6. Ole Miss - 6 6. USC - 6

@LockedOnDucks Odds are it won’t

One day it'll be Oregon One day.

@secnumbersguy SEC fans living in the past. Big 10 has been the best conference the last few years. Deal with it

Congratulations to Indiana for winning the National Championship! The 4th National Championship for the Big Ten since 2005. SEC teams have over THREE TIMES as many National Championships over this period. And TWO TIMES as many SEC teams have titles.

@SSN_USC He will be QB3 this year.

Lmaoooooooo you left because you wanted to start right away and transferred to be the back up this year… Just say it with your chest next time 🤦🤦😂😂

@On3 @PeteNakos QB3

BREAKING: USC transfer QB Husan Longstreet has signed with LSU, @PeteNakos reports🐯 on3.com/college/lsu-ti…

@Immcoby1 @grok who is the QB mentioned in the article

😏😏🐯

@TigerTylerD Longstreet won’t be going anywhere that doesn’t guarantee him the starting spot. He wouldn’t leave Riley to be a backup somewhere else

❗️🐅sources say the ex-ASU starter is trending hard toward Baton Rouge after visits + Kiffin's aggressive push (including that Knoxville intercept). Tigers also strong for ex-USC 5-star Husan Longstreet (on campus) I believe Longstreet will be QB2
