More money can buy you stability in college sports, but it doesn’t necessarily lead to more wins on the field. David Hale took a look this afternoon at how realignment has affected win-loss records for those that have made a move in the power five, and it’s a cautionary tale for many:
From 2011-2014, 10 BCS teams moved to another P5 league.
Over the same time span before/after the change, all but A&M and Cuse (who was awful before and after) saw real declines.
