Well, I remember when SMU was winning SW Conference Championships - a good friend of mine lived in Dallas at the time and actually lived near the SMU campus.
 
SMU was the hot team in Dallas at that time - wildly popular - they played their home games in Texas Stadium for gosh sakes.
 
And the Mustangs are on their way back.
 
With some success and a chance to compete nationally there is reason to believe that Dallas will once again embrace the program.
 
With BE exposure and a chance to once again compete nationally, the University of Houston - a program with a decent football pedigree - and another former SW Conference Champion - could very well draw attention.  
 
My friend with the BE connections mentioned to me that he went to a UCF bowl game and was impressed by the fan turn-out and indicated that Orlando is a very good market for that team.
 
I guess I just can't be as certain as you are about the eventual demise of the BE. As far as I can tell you have no inside information - have not spoken to those who are involved in the process and seem hopeful that the league will fail.
 
Clearly you have your opinion and clearly the conventional wisdom on this board says that you're right.
 
But based on what I have been told - by people who know the business fairly well - the BE has a chance.  
 
We'll see.
