Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3165230, member: 1673"] If you're DI and you dominate the competition the burden is on the rest to catch up because that's the highest level of competition available. It feels like entitlement to expect the same from DIII schools. Big deal St. Thomas founded the conference. UConn fans in particular should know that does not entitle a school to be in the conference they want in perpetuity, it's entitlement to think it should. It's also entitlement to think that you should be immune to the other schools in a conference wanting you gone if you recruit at a higher level than them. The potential of good recruiting is irrelevant. They are DIII, the majority or schools in that conference don't want to recruit and compete at a higher level, as primarily academic institutions they have no obligation or expectation to do so. St. Thomas needs to suck it up and move up to higher competition. On edit: The above was worded too harsh. I just have a problem with a society's mindset when people feel they are entitled to things staying the same rather than adapting to change, since change is inevitable and particularly when that change is brought about by the consensus of others.
