Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4388148, member: 44"] I think that’s just the getting blown out in the big house hangover talking because that thought process is the slippery slope that leads to downgrading and then eventually dropping football. I remember fans and sports writers saying exactly the same thing when we joined the Big East and were struggling to even just make the BET. It was a bad idea then and it’s a bad idea now. Remember when we left the American and everyone talked about how we were only going to get games against the dregs of college football? That turned out not to be the case. Our brand ended up being good enough that a lot of quality teams want to play us. That’s a strength that we shouldn’t just cast away. Agree, though, that we can’t have a schedule full of teams competing for the national championship. I wouldn’t be too quick to give up on playing the recognize brands in the sport though to get wins against teams no on cares about. Eventually, those opportunities will disappear. [/QUOTE]
