Alright, now I am a convert.
To hell with La Tech if they do not appreciate the SBC. We can not afford to have members that are not for us. With this attitude, La Tech will be looking to leave as soon as it can. Therefore, send UTSA and Ga State an invite. If UTSA wants to bring Texas State with them, then invite Texas State and UNCC. Let Tech stew in its misery. Go SBC! Go Jags!
Or here's an idea that I know you're going to find difficult to understand...
DON'T INVITE ANYONE
No.... we must proceed.
You are in the minority in that believe, what's more, inviting any combination of the schools you outlined would be regressing and that belief is shared by most of this board as well as the Sun Belt brass. Don't hold your breath on invites to Texas State, UTSA, or UNCC, actually do hold your breath...maybe you'll pass out and we'll be saved from your obsession with FCS and start up programs for a few hours...
Actually, I am starting to believe that you are afraid of the "start up programs". What...no room at the top? FAU and FIU were start ups. So was every other school at one time. Stop throwing temper tantrums everytime somebody has a different opinon. In fact .....go to your room and keep banging your head until you find a better use for it.
You act like I'm the only one who feels this way. You are in the minority. Most of us don't want to add
anyone and you're the only one who's supporting these start ups and FCSers.
You're right, FAU and FIU were start ups and FIU just finally had their first winning season and in their second and third season in the league they went a combined 1-23. Scared? My Blue Raiders are a combined 9-3 against FAU and FIU in league play. I don't think drawing comparisons to FAU and FIU are going to gain you much favor in this crowd, don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're both on board and they have both done their fair share for the league, but I'm not interested in adding two schools who would be lucky to do what FAU has done in such a short period of time, or that we may have to wait five seasons for them to do anything of significance like FIU. FIU's winning season and bowl win last year were nice, but need I remind you that they have exactly two OOC FBS wins? No disrespect intended to either FAU or FIU, but if you're aiming to add a few more in the vein of FAU/FIU then you definitely don't have the league's best interest in mind.
And with all due respect to your Jags, adding one start up is setting us back as it is and you want to add two more? You won't find too many who support the idea of one fourth of the league's membership in 2012 being made up of teams who were playing FCS football or no football at all a few years ago.
And I'm not "throwing a temper tantrum every time somebody has a different opinion" because the only somebody with
this opinion is
you and I would hardly consider me reminding you that you're in the minority as throwing a temper tantrum.
At the end of the day I suppose it doesn't really matter, because our commissioner, AD's and presidents all appear to share the group mentality. So keep bringing up your little start up buddies, just know that you might as well be talking to yourself, because there are only a few here in favor of adding even one of them and by my estimation you're the only one in favor of adding two.
