Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 59469, member: 302"] [I]I think it may have taken the administration longer than a weekend had we signed a much better deal than the current one. But I agree, in the end, we would have left anyway...orange79[/I] Not so sure...I think two other big mistakes that led to the leaving were: 1. Vill to football--too much effort spent on a weak football program without a stadium 2. Not moving faster after TCU coming aboard and picking up another school...maybe Boise St for example... So my view...if we signed contract and had options about adding new teams and markets like every other conference has in contract, and taken another team like Boise St or UCF or Houston...we would have had a larger contract in end (like ACC is doing) and we may have stayed together. But the bball only teams and ND were wielding too much power...so we got out [/QUOTE]
