You have to start somewhere and it starts with getting out of the "also ran" status of the 1-bid league slums. It would be fantastic to get to a spot where our league is consistently in the conversation for a top 8/10 league instead of in that 12-14/15 range. That slot gets you in the conversation for at-large bids every year. Wouldn't it be nice to have our season matter again outside of one week in March? Wouldn't it be nice to have the national perception of a top 8/10 league such that we can begin (hopefully consistently) recruiting HS talent at that level? Or using the added money from increased NCAA win shares to pay more $$ to hire and/or maintain top level coaches a little better than we do now? Take a page from capitalism - a rising tide lifts all boats. OU is the boat. The MAC is the tide. That's why we care about the MAC getting multiple bids. Problem is we DON'T have anything close to that national respect/perception right now, which is exactly why UB's loss tonight completely doomed us yet again. +1 The financial implications are quite significant indeed.

You might as well just stay off this board until March, and go away over April rolls around. If that's all that matters.....

I'm allowed to take personal enjoyment or interest in all the OU games whether they actually matter in the big picture or not. Some day it would be nice to root for them in December/January in games that DID matter because national rankings and/or at-large bids were still a possibility. But it is true - the interest level ramps up to a whole different level come March. Well and against Fiami - because - well it's Fiami.

Money talks and it matters. Perception matters not to me.
