So why wouldn’t CBR leave Furman for one of those big conferences and escape the frustration. He’s not going to change the system. Someone might eventually, but it wouldn’t be easy and probably would never change. As you said, it’s about money.apaladin wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:49 amOne thing I think CBR is frustraed with is the system that determines who gets to the big dance. It of course is controlled by the big conferences just like the CFPlayoffs. That is why you see multiple undeserving, mediocre teams from these same conferences. Sometimes as many as 10 from one conference. Ridiculous. They want to keep all the money to themselves. Plain and simple. BTW, no one has more money than Clempson, including SC.
And BTW, I highly doubt, and believe I am right, that UofSC athletics has more money than Clemson athletics. That fact is largely due to SEC membership versus ACC membership, but also due in small part to the fact that UofSC is a much bigger school, more alumni, etc. But yes, both of them have and spend insane amounts of money on athletics. Next year’s salary from UofSC will be $3.3 million for Frank Martin and more than that, I believe, for Dawn Staley (especially with her incentive bonuses).
but someone else could. In that case UTC would end up 29-5, be a top 40 Net team and would be talked about as a bubble team. In the end the committee aka power 5’s will take a 17-15 team from a major conference who lost their first confernce tourney game. As FurmAlum ponted out never underestimate how bad they can screw the mid-majors.
, or some other team (not UTC), will win the tourney instead. I still worry we’ll lose our coach 
if we win the tourney, but at least our 42-year drought would be broken - and then we could start waiting for the year 2064 to do it again. (Doubting I even would want to keep living to the age I’d be in 2064 though. So, as we have said and heard, let’s “enjoy the ride”.)
