[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132373383, member: 1467482"] All of your points make no sense when you look at who has been the top seeds and who has been in the Final Four lately. Big money schools, small money schools, sexy destinations, cow towns, good and bad academics, traditional powerhouses, flashes in the pan, transfer U, 4 year starters, and OAD factories have all been at the top of the polls, making Final Fours, winning conference and national titles. **** we even made the Final Four not THAT long ago. Your lone argument that makes sense is that the barrier to entry is lower than football, but so what? If this school is to ever win anything, it’s going to be on the hardwood, so stop treating the basketball program as the secondary program here. We have already been abandoned by UT and OU and are relegated to second class citizen status on the gridiron, so don’t tell me it’s about being sexy for other conferences or some ****. If the Big XII dies tomorrow it won’t mean anything to fans, we’ll just roll into the next confederation of leftovers and be .500 there and make similar money. [/QUOTE]
