Message: [QUOTE="noeynox, post: 4656440, member: 156"] I just have a hard time seeing the administration keeping FB around and expecting that it has any chance at success with one arm tied behind their back. Time goes by fast. We are a decade+ removed since we got screwed over in realignment and almost a quarter century has passed since the decision to move up to FBS was made. I have to give Benedict credit for getting us back into the Big East and putting together interesting albeit disjointed independent fb schedules, but those moves had to have been stop gap measures otherwise they would terminate the FB program and dedicate more resources to BB. The argument on twitter was that extra revenue means nothing because they would have to spend more on FB. I mean duh, you can't effectively operate at this level how they are funding it now. We are in no man's land. Paying way more than MAC schools but our FBS peers all around us, BC, RU, Cuse are spending significantly more on coaching staffs. If we were fortunate enough to go in the Big12, in another decade most of our "newness" will be gone. The goal isn't to be OSU or Michigan, but to play at highest level that gives you the best chance to play in the ever expanding playoff. That would be a spot in what is the current P5. [/QUOTE]
