*(nice blow out of CSU in the bowl game, your "noncompetitive team" beat the Rams much worse than did BSU on the same field)
The costs argument has been blown out of the water 900 times by now, including by his own AD, and the fact that we went 9-4 and won a bowl game last year is poking a pretty big hole in the competitiveness argument. So mostly he's just gone silent. He didn't even come to the SBOE meeting today -- some poor finance guy had to stammer and lie for him.
And thanks for the bowl kudos. The fact is, we've had a lot of bad seasons in FBS but we've also had some good ones and there are a number of teams in the G5 who've had about our level of success on the field.
