Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4665079, member: 71"] Personally I see one and only one path to our recieving an offer to join the B-12 but at the moment it does appear to be a slight possibility. If I were a betting man I would say odds are 4-1 or 5-1 against it happening. That said, if it does happen, we would be making the biggest mistake in the history of the school if we didn't accept. In all candor there was nothing leading us back to the BE when it happened beyond money. The new AAC media contract was disastrous for us and the school's administration realized that if we could cobble together an average football schedule and secure a minimal contract for the home football games (we exceeded the first and met the second) we would be better off leaving the AAC for the BE. That was a financial decision, period and, the BE wanting us back was also a financial decision, nothing else. The BE wanted us because we made the conference more valuable, no other reason. The only path I see is Colorado securing a move to the B-12 within the next few weeks while none of the other four corner P-12 schools accept an offer. Additionally, media partners refuse to allow a full pro-rata increase for SD St. At that point we will receive an invitation. Under any other circumstances, we won't. [/QUOTE]
