Best rivalry...that's a good one..

The MWC was a good but top heavy conference. We were never going to get a BCS auto slot. We didn't have the numbers needed in the necessary metrics. The BCS disclosed Thursday it has three ways to measure conference strength. They are the ranking of the highest-ranked team from a conference in the final BCS standings, the final regular-season computer rankings of all the teams in a conference and the number of teams from a conference in the top 25 in the final BCS standings.

I stand corrected.

No. Credits belong to the conference. NCAA pays them to the conference. Its part of the conference's collective revenue. If the conference goes, so do the credits.

funniest line EVER.

100 years doesn't make any less junior. Michigan, Stanford and the Rose Bowl all disagree. https://rosebowlgame.com/sports/2021/9/30/history-of-the-granddaddy-of-them-all.aspx And it's more than just the 10 that found a landing spot that sees you as a bottom feeder.

The P12. It was the Big 10 or nothing...

Doesn't have to be public. https://www-yardbarker-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/amp/deion_sanders_warns_coaches_keep_my_name_out_of_your_mouth/s1_13132_39836502?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_ct=1716419440110&amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17164193743582&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yardbarker.com%2Fcollege_football%2Farticles%2Fdeion_sanders_warns_coaches_keep_my_name_out_of_your_mouth%2Fs1_13132_39836502

No...most want to see Deion lose...

Well, Motel 6 and IHOP would certainly benefit...

It's the same thing. No wonder WSU isnt highly thought of. Carnegie is a research classification, not a measurement of how badass a school is. As I mentioned already (and you ignored) you might want to look at some of those Tier 1 schools. And no, TCU does not describe itself as 'Tier 1', because its not. Research has never been a focus. And yet its still Tier 2. But it is a well regarded educational institution. Not that TCU was the subject of discussion, but whatever moves the goal posts.

UCLA and BYU play mens volleyball in the MPSF. Grand Canyon is in there as well.

A very narrow definition of 'academic prestige'. You should take a look at some of the schools that are Tier 1. West Virginia, for instance, is Tier 1, but nobody's confusing them with the academic elite.
