Message: [QUOTE="Cusey, post: 17877, member: 466"] We're going from a somewhat dysfunctional conference (from a business model standpoint) in terms of its mix of hoops only and hoops/FB schools.....if not now, then certainly in the future, trying to compete with the "Big 4" Super Conferences. Hoops would not be the problem, but even that would suffer from a recruiting standpoint. FB would be a major problem because it is not the money-maker in the BE that it is in the other major conferences, not to mention the competitive factor and probably being out of BCS consideration. That's just just the way things are rolling today. It's a no-brainer from both a stability and financial standpoints. There is really no viable option. We either go with it when an opportunity like this comes along or get left behind and become a relatively minor factor in major college athletics. [/QUOTE]
