Power Welfare
Just off the top of my head I'm trying to think of all the teams living off BCS/Power Welfare checks for years. The teams that, if their conference dissolved today, would be in the Sun Belt.

Wake Forest comes to mind.

.....Oregon State/Arizona State/etc

And since basketball apparently doesn't count for jack, you can include the likes of Indiana/Kansas/etc.

Also, Baylor...no one would take that s***show now.

RE: Power Welfare
You can pick on Wake Forest and Kansas all day but they have at least won there conference in the last twenty years. Not defending them but there are worst programs in the power 5 than Wake. I'm looking at you NC State who has not won the conference in who knows how long and every year falls short.

Oxford is a nice place and Ole Miss is a good school.

Edit: The two schools from the same crappy state got me thinking of another one. Even though they are good right now, Oklahoma State would be in trouble if the Big 12 dissolved. Stillwater is a sh*thole.

What world are you living in where the Harvard of the south is a good school? That’s where waterheads from Texas go who can’t get into Tech

Not everyone can be smart enough to get from Smoo what they could have gotten from UNT for 1/3 the price.

Or a Houston grad could have saved money reading the Thrifty Nickel or Greensheets. Paper is worth the same.
