You do know Rudy Washington turned Tenn State down right, well they only wanted to accept the football program, and not accept the rest of their sports programs, because they were in trouble with the NCAA. That why they went to the OVC.

That is not true. Rudy made the offer to Tenn State to have TSU come in only for football. He didn't care about the other sports. Tenn State turned Rudy down.
 
Them Hy Top schools that couldn't get 10 damn games and had a hard time scheduling 10 games are partying right now!:mad:

LOL I started to go on a rant in defense of PVAMU and down your academically piss poor broke ass run down "advanced-high" school but that wouldn't solve anything, jig.

Who are you speaking of? And be precise, if you're capable of that type of advanced thought process. :swink:

Was Tenn St a strong entity in other sports back then? They old their own in the OVC, win several league titles every year and as we know, the OVC is not at the bottom of the barrel.
 
Re: Swac Spring Meetings Report

The Southwestern Athletic Conference will revert to using a nine-game league schedule starting in the 2010 football season, one of several changes announced Friday.

The SWAC council of presidents voted to add the extra conference games through at least the 2013 season.

“Overall, some teams were finding it difficult to fill out the rest of the schedule,” SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said. “It was hard for some of our teams. Either people didn’t want to play them, or the payout wasn’t what they thought it would be.”
Since the SWAC expanded to 10 teams in 1999, the conference has flip-flopped between playing seven league games and nine league games.

That first year, in ’99, then-commissioner Rudy Washington decided in August that only a team’s four divisional games would count.

From 2000-04, seven games counted, but some SWAC teams opted to play each other in extra games that did not count in the conference standings.

Then, from 2005-07, all nine games counted. Last season, the SWAC switched back to seven.

“That’s the other advantage (of going to nine games),” Sharp said. “You can get a true champion.”

What SWAC teams had problems scheduling 11 games?
 
One thing I do NOT agree w/ Betty Austin on is when she stated that "we have some wonderful institutions in the SWAC." No. :| There are some who think themselves a "competitive football" school who would never EVER be allowed in a higher-rated football playing conference because of their lower(ed) academic standards vs being well rounded. :D

I fully accept PV's strive towards greatness in <b>all</b> facets! :bowdown:

Ok. From what I was told, if the SWAC would have accepted their entire athletic program they would have joined the SWAC.
 
Re: Swac Spring Meetings Report

While I don't agree with Betty Austin's perspective regarding the nine game mandate, I do admire her strong constitution. I do agree with her perspective about finding the correct balance with these money games and the intangibles that need to be considered......

:tup:

BTW, Great show Carlos..........That was pretty "tight!"

It was a nice segment, but I find it hard to believe that a school only offered her (AAMU) $50K to play a football game.

I agree :tup:
 
Carlos great show. Please get Mrs. Austin back on the show. Really enjoyed her segment. Wish SU had a strong person in the AD position.

I concur that her example in regards to that was suspect and at the very least an extreme scenario. I remember seeing that type of guarantee one of our conference members gave to a D-2 school a little over 9 years back. And she is talking now about someone at our level being tendered that sum from someone on even a higher level. :lol: :emlaugh:

:lecture: Usa you know the schools that you speak of can't do any better so they easily accepted that 9 game bs because they have no name to attract opponents, they are like flies that love to eat sh!t! If your school can't even schedule 10 games, it is pathetic!

:shame::shame::shame:

Nah, the truth "must not <b>hurts</b>." :emlaugh: I had to call ours first just to make sure and it's validated. How did your 2 "presidents" vote? :read: U have no bearing whatsoever other than to bytch and gripe over the world-wide. I stand behind <b>my</b> president and <b>my</b> athletic director's decisions.

Of course they had to vote with the losers, the losers had the majority! Like they say for the betterment of the conference, that's only saying, we had to vote in favor because the peasants were majority! They peasants will continue bringing this conference down! The conference already doesn't have respect, it's only going to get worse!

:shame::shame::shame::shame:
 
Is it possible to find out how the vote went? If some presidents voted for a measure which will cost THEIR school money in the long run, can they go back to the fan base, hat in hand, asking for donations. If you give up money for the "common good", what are the commoners going to do to replace the lost revenue. What other deals may have been cut?

You have posed a very legitimate question. What is interesting though, is some of our AD(s) apparently can't count, lack negotiation skills, and may only believe they are not costing our schools money.
