you got the responses you got. And notice that I was not the only one to read your post the same way. There were three other individuals that responded something like "of course we're a good fit." In fact, all of the responses to your post saw your post the same way I did. Not one of us read your post to mean that you thought we were a good fit, but the Pac12 didn't.

Look, miscommunication happens. When several people read your post in a way that you did not intend, there's a chance that the miscommunication was in large part your fault. It's not automatically the other guy's fault.
