I was worried for a second. If we can’t get in based on UCF’s National Championships, what could we ever possibly get in with? It’s clearly the only logical path for us, other people’s success. I mean sure this guy from the Big12 says it’s nothing but clearly he is posturing and we just need them to win until expansion inevitably happens and we are taken with them because you can’t spit up a pair, can you?

Not only that but, and this won't be very popular, we may need to keep sandbagging like we did last half of the season. One dynasty joining a conference is one thing but they may balk at taking two programs that look like they could dominate for decades. We would be like a throw in as a travel team until we are officially in  ...... and then we emerge from the phone booth.

The ‘ol rope a dope, we have such foresight which everyone mistakes for mismanagement.

If we beat them next year can we lay claim to the champion of the national champion war on i4?

Yes of course which I think maybe marginally more prestigious than the national champion of fletcher avenue.

Our best chance. Big 10 would probably go ahead and add 4 (or more if others leave).

Let everybody else worry about conferences. We’re going to become a member of the Xfl and everyone will miss us

So, the Big 10 would add Texas and Oklahoma if they could get them and make more money off of them. But, they aren't trying to do that right now and there's no guarantee it is going to happen.

Did I get the summary of the article correct?

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
