Warning From Aq Conferences

[Rudy]

A super division of the big six is inevitable; they will drop out of the NCAA and create they're own before they acknowledge we are all (120 of us) supposed to be treated equally...and before any playoff is created.

The only way all schools will get a fair shot is Washington's intervention.

That or someone kidnaps many of the commissioners and presidents of the AQ schools and holds them for ransom demanding a fair system.

The non-AQ schools would be better off getting away from the bowl system and either running their own playoff or participating in the FCS playoffs. The FBS is rigged. None of the non-AQs will win a national championship, and the revenue gap between us and the BCS conferences will continue to widen over time.

And as Yogi Berra might say: I re-iterate this again once more:

Addendum: UNT is not a shrinking violet of a school in a far away hard to get to outpost--we should strive to be a Big Boy (with their Fort Knox type guarantees) until we see it not to be at all possible.

Hey North Texas! According to a UH acquaintance, a prime reason the Coog's are building their new football palace to seat 40,000 is they think the upcoming criteria for a new Super Conference (and it will happen one day because of all the Delaney types) will begin their crusade by using seating capacity just like they did in the early 1980's to start culling out schools with far less seats. Hmmmm? And TCU's re-do of Amon Carter will also stay a mininum of 40,000? Hmmmm?

We once built an "olympic sized" swimming pool at the Peb that was one foot shy of olympic size that for competition sake (which was its original intent) made it an embarrassing pink elephant for UNT & virtually un-usable for varsity type competition. Lets not allow our new, football palace that we are to the person extremely proud of do the same thing to us at North Texas.

10,000 more seats, Prez' Nowlin--whether sooner or later (and sooner would be far less expensive)...we'll need the extra 10K to keep up with the schools we say we want to keep up with and to remove ourselves from the schools we say we are not wanting to be part of.

All this is just never-ending but lets still do all the things that take care of North Texas and eliminate any potential obstacles that would cause the Big Boys to eliminate us. Sometimes its just a matter of thinking ahead & planning ahead on these things with what can be obvious possible trends of the upper-echelon (and many times greedy) NCAA power brokers, right?

That would basically mean surrendering to their will, and not only say "No," but "HELL NO!" The Bix Six are not the "Be all, end all" of college football. The NCAA has the power to make a playoff, but not the will.

Some days I feel like becoming one of those schools is more surrendering to their will by way of buying into their system.

Every year, the gap between the haves and have nots gets bigger. The non-AQ schools aren't going to get into the BCS party often enough to make a revenue difference. It just feels like a game we'll never be able to win.
