Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 1995266, member: 488"] Pretty much my thoughts. Regional rivalries are the draw to college sports for me. When you start commercializing it to the extent that you're playing teams from Texas multiple times per year, it becomes the minor leagues. Even if we end up in the Big 10 or ACC, I have mixed feelings. It would be awesome as a UConn fan, but it still wouldn't feel right. My point all along has been that if non-P5 schools are going to be ostracized from college sports, then I'm not really interested anyway. And as you put it, if that's inevitable, then I'd much rather bleed out in the Big East than the American. It'll never happen and probably shouldn't happen, but as a fan give me Providence, Nova, Georgetown, Seton Hall, and St. Johns tomorrow and I'll worry about the rest later. If the P5 end up breaking off, I'll probably just end up throwing myself into hockey east and doing away with basketball and football. [/QUOTE]
