Have to go back and look as I am not sure how many we took prior to entering the Big East.

Anthony Henry is a good example of a partial qualifier who was able to get his degree in the required time period.

@Mike Stuben may remember this, but I believe our academic support staff was pretty close to 100% in having partial qualifiers graduate on time.

I am too old to remember that far back.  Anthony is a great example. He had to graduate to get his last year of eligibility with the rules back then (may still be the case, I'm not sure).

Yea, I think I do the same.  I check this thread regularly when I should be checking major sport sites. I have learned to not get overly excited and pop the champagne when I read something on here since more often then not it ends up being clickbait twitter nonsense.

One of these days though I am hoping to click on this thread and have breaking news from a legitimate source of us moving to the ACC, Big 12, or Pac.

Either way I still enjoy reading this thread so keep them tweets coming.

In theory. But look at the current CUSA lineup. Not very exciting. If the AAC has to raid from there, it means they just got raided themselves. Aresco somehow hung onto the $7M per team per year deal after losing UConn, Cincy, UCF, and Houston. If the AAC loses another 4, say SMU, USF, Tulane, and Memphis or Rice, I can't see the $7M still holding. What's left should still be higher than CUSA but now you may be down to like $2M to $3M a year at best.

I mean, that's true. But even $2-3M a year is 3-4x what they're making in CUSA. Would be 1, 2 years max before they'd make up the money. I guess it would depend on how reliant they were on that. Or if they did something like the AAC defectors did with their exit fees and negotiated a long payout period (or even just agreed to pay out annual out of their new media payout). If it came to it, I also wouldn't be terribly surprised to see most of CUSA agree to just dissolve and scatter amongst the new AAC, MAC, and Sun Belt. We already saw a few teams last year that decided they'd rather be in the Sun Belt.

Well, the thread is going on 11 years old.

Looked back to page 1. Kinda crazy that my son was about 6 months old when this thread started, he's in middle school now, and we're in this ****-sandwich conference still.

If its that Stanford and Cal have the votes to get into the ACC, we are cooked.
