Just think: there exists a non-zero probability that, as early as the season after next, we will be in a conference that
1. pays us $40M or more extra per year in TV money than we would have here
2. forced aggy to vote to take us after clem swore we'd never be allowed
3. does not have a pool of officials conditioned to penalize us 14-0 against our conference mates
4. does not include Baylor or any Houston-metro schools infamous for their crappy stadium/bleachers (B/CS isn't metro, is it?)
5. will retain the OU game and not make us use an OOC date for it
6. already has its bogeymen well established
7. will never feature ISU in the CCG
8. will never require us to play in Manhattan, KS or the state of West Virginia
9. like the rest of NCAA, now lets us actually spend in the open rather than surrender to money bags, and
10. Was not cooked up by DD in a toxic stew of Texas politician interference in an otherwise already doomed marriage of convenience to the dying schools of yesterday's midwest.
