Classy post.

You type to your mother with that mouth?

I think your analysis is way too simplisitic and uninformed.

The BE is not in a bad situation right now. It may be in a better situation today than it was last year. It has new and large TV markets. It has two dynamic teams - Houston and Boise State - that are both much better than Pitt and SU. And it has a national reach that is unique in college football.

Given time it could develope quite nicely.

I think most on the board understand that the movement this year from the BE would probably not have occurred had the TV contract with ESPN been ratified. A few schools including ND apparently, thwarted what was probably going to be a decent package.

The conference has been subject to money issues. When Michigan State came with more money, D'Antonio left Cincy. When the NFL came with more money, Bobby Petrino left Louisville.

I don't think that indicates incompetence on the part of the BE office.

It simply reflects certain economic realities to which a young football conference is susceptible.

I would be careful stepping on others while moving to the ACC. It's not only lacking in grace, but it's bad karma.
