Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2077023, member: 1526"] We can't even regularly beat schools like Cincinnati, SMU, Memphis, Temple, Houston and Tulsa in our own conference as it is, and now we add Wichita? Out of that group, only Cincy, Temple and Memphis should be remotely our peers. Cincy won two NCAA titles in the dark ages when it wasn't considered the national championship, and other than several FF failures, the rest of these teams have never done anything in BB. They're all football schools now. We let in a school like Wichita State and it does everything for them, absolutely nothing for us. Our conference share gets watered down, and we get yet another team we can't beat regularly. Without football, their interests don't correspond with a conference trying to solidify itself as the No. 1 football conference among the G5 leagues. And, for extra fun, they're bankrolled by the Koch brothers, one of America's richest families. That means they potentially can outspend every other school in our league, especially without a football program to support. It's an incredibly stupid idea. [/QUOTE]
