Who, besides the guy who posts in Smack, has told you we weren't eliminated? I'm really curious.

Louisville's endowment no longer matters, the are in the club. Ours is still very low. And the school rank is hard to get around.

We need to make the AAC as strong as possible, and be poised to add good football members when appropriate.

We weren't eliminated. If we were Rudd would have said that we were. He didn't. He said not to believe what you hear in the media.

Quote:When Calkins and Vernon and Stats and even Woloshin are saying we were eliminated, it's because the Memphis admin. is telling them that is what happened.

Just so I have a grasp on what you are saying, did Rudd talk to Stats and Bowen talk to Woloshin or was it the other way around? Which one of them told Vernon?

Seriously?

I figured you had absolutely no evidence. Yes, Alnutt and Bowen and Rudd were telling the media, and big boosters. Unattributed. Rudd thought we had to follow the silly NDA, even though ECU and Boise State didn't. Privately, they confirmed it. If you don't know this, you are very, very far out of the loop.

Thank God the Big 12 didn't expand and take Cincy and Houston from the AAC. Memphis is in a good spot, we need to quit pining for a Big 12 invite that is not going to come.

You are making yourself look silly clinging to the myth that Memphis wasn't eliminated.

If the Big 12 didn't take anyone, why get all upset about getting eliminated? EVERYONE was eliminated!

Seriously? Provide one shred of evidence of Rudd, Bowen and Alnutt telling the media this, just one. Unbelievable.

And why didn't ANY of them claim they had any source other than McMurphy?! I head GC and GP both say that he was their source and his information was spot on and above reproach...

Vernon doesn't have a source. And Wolo!?!! Really.... That's as funny as your high horse thinking you know something.
And just what media, outside of quoting McMurphy and ESPN actually stated we were out!?!

Eliminated makes it sound like musical chairs. I think we just took our chair and went home when they upped the ante and played everybody off against each other. That's just a guess on my part.

I would agree with that.
