Nope, but I understand who we are right now. I'm hopeful that we can move forward and support all efforts to do so now.

_ From a recruiting standpoint, this is a quote on another thread:

We are recruiting against FAU, MT, Ark. State, UAB, ULM, LaTech, Tulane and some MAC programs. Those are our peers right now.

Why not try and improve the level of our peers? We are recruiting to the level of a Belch member. And in doing so, it will take that much longer to get to a higher level. Easier to recruit may not be totally accurate, but it can't be that easy to recruit for Belch competition. And, on top of that, up to this year, we haven't been very competitive even in the Belch. How can it be more difficult to recruit against a schedule that would substitute for FAU, FIU, UNT, ULM, MTSU, ASU and now WKU schools from C-USA, WAC, Big 12 and SEC? I don't know, I'm just asking? It is assumed that we can't recruit and compete as an Independent, but why not? We might actually do better financially outside of the Belch. We might get a better reputation and when we start winning against better competition, more doors might open up for us. Just about everyone wants out of the Belch, but no one is making a move to another conference and no one is willing to test Independent status. Maybe the fact that there aren't many Independents out there would work to our favor rather than our detriment. At the very least, when talking about major Independents, there would be Notre Dame, Army, Navy and Louisiana. That is better company to be in than the Belch. And, who says we couldn't schedule against them as well. _

I suggest that we stop calling our conference the belch---just hurts recruiting and the progress we have made----this conference has done very well in some sports at some times --so please don't belch in public!!!!!!

If they are the board at the same time, will it cause the universe to explode?

That's right. Besides that's what the Techsters like to call it. And we can't be seen in public sharing ideas with them!
