Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4661703, member: 71"] I could well be wrong but I personally believe that decision was made more than three decades ago and further, I believe all of our true fans, regardless of which conference they would prefer us in, view us as not only a national program, but a national power. Yes they have, and yes it is. The only excuse that the administration can use is the need to bring in additional revenues due to the conference situation (whether there could be more revenues from more games with name opponents is a different argument). Personally I would like to see this excuse become obsolete. For reasons beyond anything I can think of there are many on this board who prefer the status quo. I don't disagree with you here, but I do question the appearance of this comment within the context of my post that you responded to. In all candor, I personally believe that (on many levels, not merely officiating in men's hoops games) the conference's MO will be to treat us the way Wilt and Oscar were treated during the bulk of the 1960's, when the league operating under the view that they were so far beyond anyone else with their natural abilities, that they had to let the opponents get away with a lot just to make it somewhat fair.
