This emphasis on public salesmanship is ridiculous. The only people public salesmanship wins over are random fans on Twitter. I care about what's said to Presidents and ADs in private meetings and presentations, because that's what gets teams in.
People who would blame us not making it in on a lack of tweets by our AD or publicly begging are just pissed off in general and looking for reasons to get mad.
It didn't get us in the last time. It sure seems to have helped get a glorified community college into the ACC. And at that time, we were not all that far removed from a BCS bowl appearance.
If we lose out this time to another glorified community college like Memphis, our university administration is going to get blamed, whether they deserve it or not.
