Never? They'll get in. With all the media attention and congress pressure the BCS will try everything they can to shut up their critics
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:29 amLet's see New Orleans, Orlando, Houston, Memphis vs. Hawaii, Northern CA. with more schools in driving (road trip distance). All conferences have their crappy locales. We have USM (also within driving distance), Birmingham, Greenville, NC (which is of course near Pinehurst and great golf), and Huntington WV (almost heaven- just kidding). That pretty much matches, Boise, Reno, Ruston, and Fresno, but they are east of us and geographically closer. Adding UH helps attendance and local coverage.
East coast television slots vs. games starting 10 p.m. central, 11 p.m. eastern time.
