It's like when a once great conference used to win national titles in football regularly. Then, they were playing for and losing titles. Then, they weren't even in the conversation. Now, all they have to crow about is the fact that the rules in place prevent the best conference from placing more than two teams into the major bowl games (as opposed to the four that would have gone otherwise), and so they get a couple of teams into good, but ultimately meaningless, bowls.
The conference is a has-been, and the flagship school has become a national punch line after begging a coach to come and getting rejected. Here's a school who can pay more than most NFL teams, and they still can't get the coach they want.
