What do we want to be representative of our university?


If we really had a chance to join the SEC in '03/'04, we messed up from a big time college sports perspective.

I don't know we made the wrong decision overall. The big time, big money arena vs. amateur/student athlete values differences are something to think about. It's all about what do we want to be representative of our university and the university's values?

With the $$$ thrown around now, the players deserve to be paid. It's also very much for profit for everyone involved. I think it's time to pull the tax free/non-profit status from FBS level. And if the 'Bama's and Georgia's and Texas A&M's of the world want the schools with shallower pockets to keep lining up for their big NIL $$$ rosters to show off against in preparation for the playoffs, even in conference, we need to start charging them more for the privilege of being pummeled by them or withdraw from the conferences with them. Leave the very few top blue bloods with nobody to play except each other and refuse to be part of a system that's just more and more being geared to profit a few schools and the media broadcasters.
