Not really the same league
Welcome to an Arizona State nightmare. The football team is humiliated. The alumni are seething. And now everyone has to pay attention to basketball season, where the difference between two rivals is again painfully obvious.
This season, Arizona already has played Virginia, Michigan and Wake Forest. In five months, that could be a Final Four field.
Across the divide, Arizona State has played Jackson State, Delaware State and Texas-El Paso, and another season starts with a Tempe whimper.
"All the fans that are angry are 150 percent right," ASU Athletic Director Gene Smith said. "We need to upgrade our non-conference schedule. What's frustrating is that people don't understand how difficult that is for us."
