Message: [QUOTE="Moontan, post: 51692, member: 166"] That's a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. The Big XII left-behinds are still in fine shape in a BCS AQ conference. They are fine with moving on to the new normal. The NBE left-behinds are on life rafts in the ocean looking for some scraps (e.g. exit fee$) to hold them over until they get picked up by a boat. They hope that boat will be a luxury cruise ship (ACC, Big-whatever) instead of trawler (MAC, C-USA). Until they realize what lies ahead and accept that, they will want to hold on to whatever they can for as long as they can. If the Big XII goes beyond 10 then the end is in sight and the BE should hoist the white flag. If the Big XII stops at 10 then I'd expect the BE to try to regroup. In either case, Syracuse should be prepared for another year of purgatory. [/QUOTE]
