what a friggin joke. pull their aq status

 

I'm laughing at you, Memphis.

 

i love adding san diego state. one decent season in 20 years and now you go to a bcs league? really?

 

This seems like insanity. The football will still suck and a lot of student athletes will spend a lot of time traveling.

 

The Big East has a ton of Thursday nights games. Could you imagine being South Florida playing a Saturday night game at home then having to travel to Idaho for a game five days later?

 

Houston playing at Rutgers in a 3-game baseball series in February is exactly what those guys had in mind I'm sure.

 

They better stock up on some carbon credits.

 

I thought it was football only?

Either way, it's beyond dumb.

 

I think Houston, SMU, and UCF are all their sports JG.

And QP, I know you're right. Just the thought of some short stop from El Paso traveling to Piscataway or Storrs in mid-March for a baseball game strikes me as funny.
