That is so atypical of our culture whose driving forces are "what's in it for me" and "I want it yesterday".Whatever may be left for us (under a worst case scenario) will still be there three, four or five years down the road. What we need to do, the only thing we can do is basically what we are doing (replacing the football coach excepted for the time being) which is attempting to build the university into something on all levels that looks and acts like a university that belongs among the better major universities.
I don't know what will happen and I realize that there will be further bumps in the road. Contrary to what many on this board believe, I personally believe that the longer it takes for the next round of B1G expansion, the better off we will be as it will put us further along our course of action. Like it or not, if the B1G expands tomorrow, we have little chance of getting there. If it take four years for that conference to announce their expansion to sixteen, we have a very solid chance of being one of the two top candidates.
We need to look at this from a larger perspective than what conference our football program will be playing the 2015 season in. We need to get to the best home for the last eight decades of this century. From that point of view it will make little difference if we landed there in 2016 or 2019. Additionally, it will make little difference (assuming we never land there) if our fate doesn't finally get determined until 2017 instead of 2014.
What galaxy are you from?
