If UL were granted admission into the SEC, we would be in the middle of the pact in short order. Many dispute my allegation... our recruiting as an SEC school, with their TV time, bowl money splits, and so on... get real. Half of the SEC schools wouldn't be D1 if they weren't propped up by the other half. OUT.
    Great Points. Most BCS schools are in BCS conferences for their own reasons. In the SEC, Kentucky is there for basketball, Vandy is there for Acedemics, etc. Without all SEC teams propping each other up, many wouldn't be much at all.

    What I think that many people overlook, especially those who miss the boat about scheduling losses versus 'high quality teams', is that it goes both ways. Ohio State's, FSU's, Oklahoma's, don't want to schedule other powerful BCS schools to fill their non-conference schedule every year (with exception of Notre Dame, who doesn't have a conference, but they play more powerhouses than cupcakes) because, without a playoff, one loss ruins their chance at a Nat'l Championship. Therefore they pay smaller schools to come in to play, with a small chance of losing. Therefore, if all of the other mid-majors played each other, just because they can be competitive, they would be losing out on tons of cash. I am sure UL would love to have its five NC games to be against Houston, USM, TCU, etc. every year, but those teams are busy playing money games as well. And, if left with a game that is msot likely a loss with making $700k for it, or playing Joe-1AA two extra times, I take the cash, every time.

    So, as USC is playing some money games, with some tougher competition added in (with Nebraska and Arkansas, even though they didn't show up), we are playing our money games, with easy NC teams (NCA&T) and competitive teams (Houston). Its the circle of life, folks.

    P.S. Bengal, would you mind proofreading my post?

    If USC is playing money games, I'd like to know what they are. This year the Pac-10 is playing nine conference games.

    USC, out of conference, is playing at Arkansas, Nebraska and Notre Dame. And, I don't think any of them are getting a paycheck for the ___ whipping.
