Not every university is fortunate enough to be in a major conference. For those of us on the outside, we have to make hard decisions sometimes. Football is a sunk marketing cost, and it isn't always justified.

I agree with you completely. It's definitely not a level playing field and that was obviously a smart decision for the Shockers. I'm just trying to explain to Bambi that football is where the dollars are, even for some of the "blue blood" basketball schools like Kentucky, when looking at overall revenue generated. There are SOME exceptions, but it's not the norm for schools with both sports from AQ conferences.
