I really hate the idea of communion. In a free market society, you have the option of taking risks, and winning/losing big. Beavis and Coogly were happy being mid to bottom tier for years in those matchstick stadiums. One to two years of being good doesn't change your history. Suddenly they see the writing on the wall and try to be proactive. Then cry fowl on them being excluded.
I'm tired of all this poor Beavis, poor Coogy sentiment. You've sucked the blood from your in state rivals for years. You don't belong in a league worth a dime, because you don't offer anything. Shut up, grow up, and stand on your own two feet. You've contributed nothing to making the conference any more valuable, and evidently everyone else shares that thought. You've been appraised, you are an Edsel.
YOU GET NOTHING!!! YOU LOSE SIR!!!! GOOD DAY!!!
