we did pass them... so they took their ball and locked their doorWOW WOW. How the hell are we not in a power 5. The mid and lower level schools in the P5 will never vote for us because they are are afraid we will surpass them.
Will, as in future tense? We surpassed many of the P5 in athletic accomplishments years ago. In fairness to them, they've been trying really really hard for the better part of a century. Most of the P5 schools are hanger oners. Most of them have a smaller TV market, win less trophies, and are less prestigious academically than UConn. And UConn is not done. Anyone really think any of the losers in these P5 conferences are doing anything other than coasting along collecting a paycheck?WOW WOW. How the hell are we not in a power 5.

I agree that we have already passed many of them both academically and athletics but many of them do not think we have. Just think of Rutty, Cuse and others like TCU, Baylor.Will, as in future tense?

yup. If we were in Pennsylvania even we'd be in. I guarantee B1G and ACC Presidents and ADs are combing through the materials as we speak.I am convinced that if we were located in the Midwest we'd be in. Location was the reason we could not get 8 votes in the end. Others could not get 8 votes for other reasons.
I am also convinced that Flug was plugged into Oklahoma's thinking, and "Need Four to Get Two" was legit. That disappeared when BYU's issues surfaced. There weren't four legit suitors on the table any more that could be stitched together in a compromise package. So the whole thing fell apart.
I'm also convinced we are on both the BI6's an the ACC's short list, if either ever decide to expand. We have to be -- we are P5-worthy and in both of their footprints.
