Overall, I'd say it's a strong conference, but a step down from the Ivy League. Need to add MIT and Caltech to keep up.
Isn't that the idea ...........ELITE is just relative to your competition, amiright ??
Add the Service Academies, Wake, Vag, Cal, USCw, ND, BC and you need to drop 1 or add 1 preferably west of the Mississippi. Maybe UCLA add or Rutgers drop?
Yes. Rutgers is “one of these things is not like the others.”
Yup, you got a point.......
We could go to 3 divisions - Beasts of the East , Monsters of the Midwest , and Wild Men of the West........
So how would this be different than today?
Yeah maybe we can win more than 3 games per year without switching coaches or having a unique offense.
And win our conference championship and get totally embarrassed in every bowl we play.
I feel you, and I was there once. My pain of reality has moved past apathy and morphed into pure fantasy.
You are forgetting Tulane, Pitt (private but much like us), perhaps the service academies, Northwestern, and Boston College. When you say "NERD CONFERENCE" I take that to mean the schools that are academically oriented, many of them private, and without the huge resources in money and recruiting advantages of the elite state factories. Maybe, you meant it in a different context.
An interesting progression. What, if anything, comes after "pure fantasy"?
What do all these schools with the exception of Syracuse, Rutgers, TCU and maybe Purdue have in common? They are perpetually abused and ridiculed by in state rivals. I think it ought to be a requirement.
No, the context is correct. I just try not to fantasize too deeply, or too long........it only leads to frustration
Now you are catchin' on
Hell even CGC could win 4 games in that leauge. Well maybe
