And the c-usa is sunbelt/div 1aa/ c-usa

And the ACC is Big East / ACC

And so on...

Realignment pushed the bottom higher

Why does a Rebel fan care about the AAC?

He's one of those millions of fans who have done nothing important in their lives and who attended a rather nondescript school, but they think they're on top of the world because they're in the SEC.

I can't...grammar...ugh...

I think I nailed his sister at the ATO house in Oxford back in 98'.

Ole Miss fans still live in the glory days, and haven't caught up with reality. In the SEC, Bama and LSU rule. The others are trying to catch up, and riding their shirt tails. Sure they have big TV contracts, conference wise, such as much of the other B5 conferences, but it would be interesting to see the tv ratings on all teams to see which teams and games are watched the most nationally. Then we could get a true idea of which teams are getting carried by the conference and not really watched on television.

The TV pkg you received was not only fair BUT was actually more than what most expected!!!! When you complain about BOWLS or coverage----please----take a minute to realize----YOU ARE A FIRST YEAR CONFERENCE-----Not pretty but a fact... What bothers me a bit is that as this is your first year---you needed this year to establish. CRED. ---- both with the networks and with the fans in general !!! ` BUT you have failed in both of those----your TV coverage is not what you expected AND you still try to maintain the long gone conclusion that you are a BCS/P5 conference----SURPRISE--- YOU ARE NOT !!!!!! You have some very good teams who---most likely will be gone shortly, and some good teams , who will stay and grow with the conference. BUT, overall you are ranked at or below the CUSA level----hard to accept?--I know--BUT the sooner you start dealing with reality the easier it will be for fans and message board posters. GOOD LUCK to all of you---and hope things turn out well----REALITY---is tough---but easier when accepted..

STHU you are acting as if these programs are just coming out of div 2 . All of these programs are established and have had success , some have national championships . We do not believe we deserve 24 million a year , but we have earned far more than we were given. In any case for you to make the type of statement that we are below CUSA is ridiculous . I believe you are the one having a hard time accepting things .
