If that was true there would be 11 automatic BC$ bids. There aren't, so AQ and non-AQ is the PC speak for BC$ and non-BC$. I refuse to PC speak.Quote:

That big name football coach has had 4 losing seasons in a row. UTEP would have been much better off staying in the WAC.Quote:

During the Pony Express days, SMU gave aot of tickets away to get butts in seats. SMU has a small base of fans that Jones can increase some. SMU always runs a deficit in athletics.
atleast we would be included in this model...

although they still seem to feel we should stay in the WAC.... not much sense... heck swap UTEP and Tech and we're good to go!

Actually if this happened, I would faint from excitement. This is probably the best possible (somewhat realistic) outcome that we could expect. I am not going to hold my breath though.... :angry:
