Note that it has been reported that 60+ programs have contacted Bowlsby about B12 openings. Certainly some of those might be classified as dumpster fire or rinky dink. Some of that may be true for a number of schools. But not specifically assigning it to any is way different than blatantly listing it by name in association with candidates that very realistically are in the 2-6 range of schools being considered.

I 100% believe that there are schools that have zero business being considered that might fit those terms - but as we don't pick the teams do we really want to be openly on record as having specifically disparaged teams by name that we may soon be in a conference with?

Or even more talking a lot about how anything but P5's will tarnish the conference that we are not even a part of yet...
