So, its just a flesh wound? Its ok to ignore the arterial spurting?

Think of it as getting shot and a doctor happens to be nearby. Not as bad as everyone thinks but nowhere near what we thought would happen. We just have to perform and show the other conferences we belong. Hence the announcements out of SMU and Houston about capital expenditures.

... thanks much for the laugh Pony94... I needed that.

The problem is that we just took a huge hit in perception and recruiting.

Our performance on the field, and in the ratings, is correlated to our brand.

And our next TV contract will bear that out.

This was a MASSIVE blow to recruiting.

UH and SMU will be fine.
