You guys talk like just because we cusa wanted something everyone else would have agreed. Sheesh, look at e.c.u. even with that prospect of not being AQ decided to leave and the way y'all talk your school would have done the same thing. Wishing for something isn't the same as getting what you wish for because most of the time Santa doesn't bring you that gift.

In other words quit your belly aching and just accept what you have. Everyone of us wants what's best for our schools and just because we can't get it doesn't mean it's the Commish's fault.

Who you should blame are those schools that despite not improving their circumstances still decided to leave instead of trying to make cusa better.

Not to , but by what criteria? The only current equalizer, as far as I can tell, is access bowl accessibility. Nobody took a pay cut or decreased exposure...quite the opposite. In accessing all options, it was an overall improvement...though the incremental degree is debatable.
