Conferences Realignments Announced

RUTS headquarters announced the conference realignments for RUTS4, Season 1. In what Commissioner Haag called "one of the most competitive, rivalry-filled alignments in history," RUTS4 will utilize revamped versions of the Southeastern Conference and the Pac 12 Conference.

"With the exception of Michigan, every RUTS-coached team has a natural rival who is also being coached by a RUTS coach," Haag said. "This should make for some great conference match ups and create even more drama in these storied rivalries." 

Each conference will be split into 2 divisions, as shown below...RUTS teams are bolded:

NORTH
Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Oregon State, Stanford, California

(Michigan replaces Washington State, who moves to the Mountain West Conference. Notre Dame moves to the Big 10 to replace Michigan.)
