Setting aside that fact that you think that being in the MWC that last couple of years would be better than being independent (which a completely disagree), what you are saying is that there is no future hope for independence or for moving to a better conference at all. You are assuming independence will be stagnant and what you see now is what you are going to get for the next 25 years. I just don't know, given the rapidly changing landscape, how you can some to that conclusion.
