[QUOTE="RangerUte, post: 3047823, member: 74183"] Not at all. I grew up loving TCU football during the Tommy Crutcher days 80 miles west of Ft Worth. Time passed and I found myself in grad school at Utah. I spent a lot of time watching Utah football from their awful 1980s days to the cultural transformation of the program, first under Ron McBride, then Urban Meyer and Kyle Whittingham. TCU was fortunate to have Andy Dalton and company and I still recall the epic 2008 game in SLC where the Utes slugged out a squeaker en route to the Sugar Bowl date with Alabama, despite having less talent than TCU. Then both TCU and Utah found their way to new conferences. We have both done well, but the SEC picking off the marquee members of conferences is a threat to college football as we know it and the response from both the PAC and Big 12 has been somewhat in effective IMHO. If college football is to merely be an NFL farm program, let the NFL pay for it. I would rather that college athletics revert to a time when it was about student athletes and school spirit, not about maximizing revenues and serving the interests of the NFL owners. [/QUOTE]
