However any ranks any of the forms of BE football, the fact is that GE football indeed booted Temple when it felt itself weak and vulnerable and felt that that change could help it.

What is more interesting to think about is what if Arkansas had told the SWC that it would not leave the SWC if the SWC would boot Rice and replace it with Memphis St. Dropping the smallest school in na Major conference and replacing to with a state school of more than 20K students located in a TV market that borders AR and produces a lot opf talent in both revenue sports.

What we all should be able to see today from all that has happened since the SEC took Arkansas is that the only way to have saved the SWC was a move along those lines. Would that have been enough to save the SWC? Not likely because Memphis is neither Flagship nor Land Grant and also because the SWC needed to be in more than just 3 states. But perhaps making that move might well have made it likely that the SWC could add from elsewhere within a few years. What we should know for certain is that the SWC doing nothing would always guarantee its eventual death.
