Historically, I have to plead ignorance with this. E.g...please explain why it matters relative to sports why a school like Tulsa feels a 'need' to be associated with schools such as Tulane and SMU. What is the relevance? I can come with Vandy in the SEC, Stanford in the PAC, etc... commuter schools, AAUs...I see these comparisons being made time and again in various postings.

When I hear these arguments being made I have to scratch my head and finally ask, how does this relate to realignment and if there was some benefit, why didn't it happen sooner? BYU fits where? ND fits where? In the end they will fit somewhere..... you can book that.
