The one underlying fact in favor of WSU football is that they used to play it and were competitive at the DI level. They already have "some" history in it with folks like Bill Parcels - a PFBHOF member - and were at one point respectable at the DI level rather than FCS. But i still believe they should go slowly and build toward that goal if at all. Just make Cessna a college football ready venue and have a few nuetral site games to test the interest level. Contests that wouldn't lose money, but would fuel interest. What noone wants is a program draining their other sports of funds and notoriety.
Great troll job but seriously never bring up them playing football in the American again
Agreed, with Tulane football in the AAC the part of crud program with small fan base is already taken. We don't need another one.

Didn't y'all just lower your stadium capacity after you just did a remodel? Sounds about right after your experience with a washed up Coach... I always think of Cincy when I think of Ohio.. football. Must be nice being the dominant brand in Ohio.. too bad their isn't any other schools more supported in that state...

Nope expanding in November at a cost of $70 million coming off a 3-9 season and fired an alum coach last year. Pretty impressive until you realize we still have Lebo sucking us dry

Yet another typo. What is G5?
Did you mean P6 problems or G4 problems?

If Witchita State wishes to start a program, look to programs like South Florida, Charlotte, UAB, Old Dominion, and UTSA. South Florida is the model program. UAB is the challenge.

Hmmm, looking back at the illustrious history of Cincinnati football, it appears you guys were nothing-burgers prior to the turn of the century. So really, you're just a nice little upstart program yourselves. I'm not sure why it took so long to become relevant in football. It looks like you joining a better league coincided with your program having a pulse. Why wouldn't the potential be there for WSU? Because of your insecurities of them?
It looks like to me when WSU was playing football, they would've held their own against the prowess of Cincinnati football.

Cincinnati has been in 13 Bowl games since 2000 including 2 BCS Bowls. Most football programs would give their left nut for that "upstart" history.

Uh, I believe the keywords to my post were "after the turn of the century". You must have missed it.
Sure it's a great, short history. And like I stated in my post, they benefited from being in a better conference. If WSU were to restart football in a better conference, I'm sure their odds at being relevant would be higher too, which renders trollcat's point moot.

Why does it matter how long it took them to "get there?" UCONN started in a BCS conference and never "got there." And let's be honest...Kansas is really no better than Connecticut when it comes to recruiting and football in general. Perhaps I should put this into terms that a WSU fan would understand...
Who would you rather be today - Indiana basketball or Gonzaga basketball?

I’m not here to debate how you interpret your own post or prove you wrong. Instead, I'm sincerely attempting to provide you with the best response that I can regarding the precarious future of WS in this conference. Nevertheless, I will explain my interpretation of one statement contained in your above post: “
the top 4 AAC schools MUST go to the Big12-6 in 2025.” You specifically post “4 AAC schools MUST go to the Big12-6 in 2025;” thus, you are insinuating that the B12 would be down to 6 schools and would need “the top 4 AAC schools… in 2025” as suggested in your scenario. Therefore, the departing schools would have left the B12 without any new members joining before 2025 according to you... and that's exactly what you meant in my opinion. However, I will not expound further on this pointless matter because I only want to exchange useful dialogue with you regarding this topic. If you believe differently, then so be it…. I can accept that.. but, I can also read….

WSU already starting its program. The players put up those letters, under the direction of the coach. Welcome to the AAC.
