Message: [QUOTE="Marbles90, post: 4718172, member: 7436"] yes, my friend. I agree with you. I was replying (sarcastically) to the comment that we don't want to end up like BC and Pitt. I have been basically saying the same thing in all the 45+ re-alignment threads to all the folks who are scratching their heads about how much "value" we have compared other current P5 teams. We have almost zero history or tradition in football. We have a fickle northeast fanbase that only supports teams that are winning and have many other pro sports to follow when we are down. We have been historically bad for the majority of our FBS existence and our move back to the Big East and canceling 2020 was a sign to the world that we gave up on football. Mora has breathed some life into the program, but one 6-7 season isn't moving the needle all that much. Our basketball didn't save us the first time around and it doesn't seem like it will this time. I don't get why people are shocked when teams already in the P5 have more perceived value and gets an invite over us. And I would not be shocked when OSU or WSU get in somewhere before us. We like to point out market, brand, other sports success, and national championships which we have and are proud of. But I can't believe people have not figured out that all of that matters much less in media $$ value when compared to football value. [/QUOTE]
