Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 294301, member: 212"] You've made some interesting points. But I think you missed here. I don't see programs such as Houston and SMU becoming players again. The fan interest may not be cast in stone, but it is very inflexible. The whole thrust of realignment, 4 X 16, breaking away from the NCAA, etc. is to lock the current power structure in place as much as the power elite are able to. This is not 1980, when Miami launched themselves into that elite. Or 1990, when VTech made their move. The teams at the very top (e.g., Texas) don't want to deal with any interlopers. [/QUOTE]
