Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4043628, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h I made a critical mistake and I owe Cincinnati and Houston an apology. A friend, whom I hadn’t spoken to in years, pointed out I had become so lost in valuation metrics that I forgot the most important value equation: quality is value. Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h The Big 12 got it right. They looked at programs and judged them on their passion for football & ability to win. All the other metrics were just noise confusing the issue. Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h BYU is a proven winner. The same for the Bearcats and Knights. Houston was won big with consistency. The Big 12 recognized quality is value and always pays off in the long run. Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h It took Oliver Luck to convince them to throw the metrics out the window and look at actual accomplishments, but they got the message. They made the right call. Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h I got lost in the metrics. The Big 12 is adding four programs who are passionate about football. Four programs who are proven winners. Quality is value. How many times have I said that about WVU? Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV· 2h I adopted the mindset of those I detest. The people who judge a program using metrics that should highlight the programs heart and soul rather than detract from its perceived value. It’s easy to win when you have the resources of Texas.
