Here it is fellas, I want yinz all to mull this over. I would like to see a one day ban, just a one day ban, to anyone in this constant conference realignment paranoia posts, whenever referencing fits or suggested teams that when someone says "they don't meet the academic requirements" that this automatically gets a one day ban.
Why? Because I am sorry, and they are getting better about this, but there is nothing, nothing, nothing concerning academics in this. NOTHING. Zero. Nada. So, the one day bans is like a shock collar. After 4-5 of these, then you will realize it is about markets, football, fanbase and success in that order.
Whether or not one school is aligned with another school because of a great research program on the use of gnat wings in cold medicine is completely irrelevant and nonpending.
You don't get banned on this board. You get BLACK LISTED! LOL!! What a term huh? black listed. Sounds a bit racist to me. "You have been Black Listed from the site" they told me. It was a weighty issue.

I don't know. And that is a really justifiable expansion/realignment topic. Of course, like most of the times on these boards, a poster completely misses the mark on the post and focuses on the most trivial comment.
Admit it, you thought the subject matter of my post was "WVU to the ACC"?
This folks is why America is doomed.

I don't pretend that academics and conference matter in any kind of meaningful way. But, an awful lot of people on the board like the old line that "perception is reality." And, just on a brand level, better company is preferred to worse company. It's not a huge deal, but it's nice all the same. Lord knows Big 10 folks---who drink their conference's kool-aid from the brim to the dregs---like touting their conference's academics and their partnerships.
It's bar-room debate that doesn't mean much, but really, isn't that a lot of what we talk about?

Sorry, I don't follow. Separation of what?
The posters who unbelievably think they are smarter than the next joe posting. There is ZERO difference.
Shruggs. If you are so much smarter than anyone else on this board why don't you converse with other people as smart as you? Take your smoke and blow it out your bum.
I can't get past your begging to become a mod on TOS a while back. Pathetic to say the least. Please draw us all a stick figure so we can all LOL.
Edit. I notice you're on all 3 message boards. I'm on 2. So who's the dumb-ass?

No you really don't but that's OK with me. I don't post on sports message boards to impress anyone. I'm on here because I hate TV, listen to music and love PITT, all at the same time. The real PITT. Not some smiley face jerk-off like steve.
You think you know but you really have NO idea. There is not, and will never be any common ground between you and me.
I respect those that have came and gone before me and after. You're disrespectful, thus you get No respect from me. Learn your place in this world. I know your smart enough to understand that.
