Oatmeal Walk-on

We would arguably have a similar or greater SOS and a conference. The only remaining issues would be TV and money.

You disregard the quality G5 teams we would play.

I certainly hope you're not talking about the MWC as a "top G5" league.

benny1982

We have played the good G5 teams as an Indy. We can cherry pick them that way.

Like? We already consistently play most top G5 teams.

It's because they are on ESPN so much and play so many "big" teams.

10/5/17 8:01am

If ROI has been poor, the solution is to do better, not give away the revenue

How are we supposed to "do better" when we haven't with an additional $20M?

TheLoneCougar

So your solution is to take less money? Don't ever invest

Agree that Tom is overscheduling. That can be fixed.

That sounds like quitting. Overscheduled? You want to be indy and schedule down?

No need to play Top 10 teams. Tom can still schedule the ASU's, UCLA's, Arizonas

That is exactly what we have this year, and you're saying its overscheduled.
