Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 2151360, member: 626"] All due respect, but this is an extremely short-sighted perspective. Ask UConn & Cincy if they'd rather be in the AAC, vs the ACC. Mayhaps there was a chance we could have been in their shoes, no? When it comes to conference realignment, simply winning ball games is not the priority, unfortunate as that may be. (See: NJ, Rutgers). In terms of money, security, prestige both academic and athletic, our conference affiliation matters. I choose to cheer for conference members to do well because that means more cheddar in SU's coffers. Better performances by conference members likely means better contracts, more affiliations, and greater sponsorships. Anything that benefits SU, matters. Its extremely naive to assume otherwise, as that's just the way things are nowadays. This ain't our Daddy's college athletics...that's the reality. JMHO [/QUOTE]
