It wasn't that long ago that nobody would have predicted Clemson would be where they are now.

What also hasn't made much sense in all of this expansion, consolidation of power/money, is how terrible programs

I'm glad some of the 'haves' are starting to realize this!

It is funny to see how pride turns to humility when suddenly you're the little guy, on the outside looking in

our own board here is full of such sentiment now that BYU is joining the Big 12

What? I thought everyone was begging for USU to be in the Big12!

No doubt there is hypocrisy in his statement

CaliWG

The counter is that non-BCS like Utah, TCU, Boise and G5s like Cincy...all got in

Yep. Hypocrisy.
