That's the worst that could happen.
Saying we'll win the National Championship this year would be, in my opinion, the opposite outlandish equivalent to this (us becoming North Dakota State or Princeton).
You know what I think about the NCAA and P5 losers? Yewt em. We're going to be a strong team anyway. Taysom is going to run all over Nebraska, Michigan and others this year.
As long as we're getting big games, then the possibility of what you just said happening are next to none.
I don't think the administration cares as little as you think, though good point on our low athletics budget.
Also, when our basketball team makes 5 final fours in a row, the rest of the country can just eat all the crap we give 'em. We've been mistreated by the college sports world for too long.
You're a good fan and I know you're just frustrated. Chin up. Rise and shout.
Go COUGARS!
