Message: [QUOTE="Yawkey Way, post: 1570564, member: 4458"] Yes,but most BC fans think that old goat was talking ragtime. NONE of these schools operate out of the alignments based upon" academics ". They operate out of the position as to what will give their schools the most dollars. Stanford is in a league with Washington State. Vanderbilt with Mississippi State. Virginia with N.C. State. BC was in a league with West Virginia. Duke with Louisville, and so on and so forth. Thus, I would hope that nobody with any intelligence listens to what the academics or ANY of the school Presidents tell us when they talk about " academics " or " student -athletes ". Syracuse " student- athletes " had years where not a single player on its basketball team ( starters or bench ) got a degree from Syracuse. So this " academics " angle is just pure nonsense. Uconn would accept in a heartbeat an invite to the B12. The fact that Oklahoma State might be its " academic " bedfellow, won't mean a thing to the " Academic " types ( ie, School President ) that will vote yes for it. ALL these P5 Conference schools have come to grips with this long ago,imo.... no matter what these School President " Academics " might tell us in a press release. [/QUOTE]
