If it comes down to the Big East needing to add another school to get to 12 football schools would
Rice be a good choice, compared to Memphis and ECU?

Good god, no.

rice only cares about baseball

Uh ..that would be no...sorry Charlie.

What is this infactuation with Rice? They would add nothing - no people, no TV market, no winning, no committment to anything. Facilities suck. Their attendence makes us look like UT.

They need to go full Ivy and shut down their program.

They are going to the Big 12 with Tulane

Next week

Rice is one of the schools that will and should be left behind for their lack of commitment to success in athletics.

Already have the Houston market with Coog High.

NO NO NO NO.
1) They have one of the smallest alumni bases around;
2) They don't actually care about playing football well; and
3) Houston would be in the same market.

My Rankings:
1) Temple - big city, decent alumni base, trying to get better;
2) Memphis - decent sized city, good BB, and FedEx is spending a lot of money to make their programs better; and finally
3) Utah State - another western partner for BSU and SDSU. AFA would be better.

No rice

Ugh on Utah St. Rather see UNLV, even though their football team is turrible.

Small enrollment + elite school = bad football program unless you want to so compromise academics. Apparently they are not willing and I can't criticize them for that, not a school of their caliber.

Only time I truly rooted for another school was Rice in CWS, so I would prefer scheduling them over SFA, Texas St or Northwestern State anyday.

NO

they compromise plenty for football - they just dont do it well.
