[QUOTE="FrogAbroad, post: 667695, member: 140"] [color="#800080"][b]Okay, I think I *may* be making sense out of these arguments from the BE power structure. They want Villanova to make the jump from FCS (where they are a top-ranked team) to FBS because, evidently, basketball is [u]the[/u] big passion at Nova, not football, and therefore (stopping to catch my breath and clear my brain) the roundball guys can have more votes than the ovoid ball guys when important conferece issues come up. Meanwhile, Villanova is automatically 3,000 seats below the FBS minimum, they have to add 20+ football scholarships, and they'll need to increase their Title IX funding to balance those new men's scholarships. And they don't want football-is-king TCU added to the mix because potentially it would mess up the power structure. Is THAT what the rest of you get out of all this? [/b][/color] [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
