"🚨Great insight from Matt Brown here. I've also confirmed some additional context through my sources.🚨 Hawaii Football is the #1 regular season bet team by a "decent amount." UNLV has two additional data points ➡: the Bowl and the MWC Championship games. Boise State Utah State and San Diego State are in the "lower end of the spectrum" regarding betting interest. I can confirm that Hawai'i is building momentum in the realignment landscape. There are still hurdles (stadium facilities etc.) but the ceiling is wildly high there.
