He's also enamored with schools like Tennessee St. I know it is surprising to hear, but he'd be a failure as an AD because he would make all of the department's decisions on FCS football, completely ignoring the fact that basketball income is what funds the entire department.
The "They are a proud people" comment has got to be one of the most inane things I've ever read. What does pride have to do with anything? Terrorists tend to be proud people as well. What pride has to do with conference selection, however, is completely beyond me. Aren't the fans of John A. Logan proud? What about Grinell and Upper Iowa? What about all of the students at the D2 schools on MSU's MBB schedule?
Pride: the new basis for conference selection. Unbelievable.
Where's that thread that identifies Casey as the worst poster again?
You are completing mischaracterizing my point. I am simply stating that we shouldn't act with holier than thou tendencies. All of us to nearly the last poster will admonish our instate BCS brethren because they act better than us. Are we really any better if we laugh at the Dakota schools and act like they are a bunch of hillbillies from the middle of nowhere?
Yes NDSU and SDSU are intriguing schools to follow. I am not encouraging Elgin to fly to Fargo and give them the key to our conference clubhouse. I like a lot about NDSU however. Perhaps down the line.
But let's be respectful and not mock them. All four of them deserve our respect.
