Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3192090, member: 1673"] ?? I have to guess at what you think is the relevance of that in response to my comment. First, I think you are one of the posters that brings the most to the Boneyard; you really enhance the place. I'm not sure why we often are at odds. Perhaps I subconsciously feel you are a little quick with the contrarian trigger? Maybe I should check myself. But for now ... :-) ... The sentence you responded to was about competition, not revenue. Many football folks think a move to the NBE hurts all sports competitively, because it hurts football competitively. That's not true. Only football is severely handicapped by not being in a P5 conference. Also, not even the football folks want to stay in the AAC, they just think it is a better stepping stone to a P5. In our current situation that is no more certain or knowable than a move to the NBE, but I understand them thinking that way. Any regional conference will have less expense than the AAC. I've stated twice I prefer the ACC to the NBE so, once again, I'm not sure what drives your revenue statement. I can only imagine that you side with the football folks that staying in the AAC gives us a high probability of landing in a P5 while going to the NBE gives us a low probability. Maybe that's true, I don't see the probabilities as differing that much but, in either case, it's not something of which fans can know. [/QUOTE]
