...because, we need to show strength to respective suitors. Imagine we think we are in a strong position - how many times have we been over-confident on this issue and then Louisville or SMU or freaking anybody U gets the nod and we sit back bandaging our wounds as we wear our cone of shame. So maybe - just maybe this time around, we use the PAC-12 get our name out there. Show interest - get some more folks talking about us... Before the conversation gets too serious - we balk. we leave knowing we were not a fit knowing they may have been using us to get more attention themselves... but now we broke it off before they did. To me it doesn't matter because in truth - us in the PAC-12 is as sensible as UConn building a home stadium on an Alaskan island. Staying independent short term is no worse than joining the PAC-12. In fact we don't have to see if the AD can get clauses in a contract to let us out should a better conference come calling.
