Interesting comments in an interview with USA Today.

Quote:FAU, which finished 1-11 last season, remains in the Sun Belt for now.

"This is the hottest thing going.," Schnellenberger said. "We've got the best stadium in America, and we're enlarging to 65,000 when we get into the Big East Conference."

Is the Big East really where he sees FAU eventually landing?

"Sure it is, where else?" he said. "That's been our goal since the beginning. We're not going to go in Conference USA, I'll tell you that."

Really?

WTF do I care what some Sunny Belt team thinks? Or some coach who needed to retire 10 years ago?

Schnelly should lay off the scotch during work hours.

FAU: The Belt's ECU.

It's a good thing coaches don't do the choosing. I hope for them that cusa people don't take it personal when the next go around comes around. But oh my, my, can you just hear the crying and moaning and gnashing of teeth if that did happen. It would be really comical to say the least.

Don't even edge that comparison. ECU's success is something FAU has wet dreams about having.

except for the fact that we've actually done things in our history to make us deserve to move up

My apologies to ECU fans, in general.

I think most folks know for whom that comment was intended.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a b0ndsj0ns hate thread?

Incorrect.

FAU has a TV market.

I didn't realize that Schnelly was still alive and coaching.

No need for a new thread he will eventually derail this one with his schtick

History tells us you have to go through C-USA or the MWC to get a BEast invite, unless you're a former BEast school playing football-only in the MAC.

I didnt know they served gin with the early bird breakfast in S Fla.

Now that the Big East is guaranteed to make more money than the ACC, their prognostications on poaching the Big 12 & ACC can finally come true.

LOL...that's about as funny as what Marshall's female swimmers do during their free time.

Really?

Fixed it for ya.

So now there should be speculation over what exactly has he been smoking for the last 4 decades.

When Schnellenberger sobers up, somebody better break it to him that the new Big East is the old CUSA.
