CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

[Da Lama]

Compare the St Francis situation to the St Thomas MN situation where St Thomas was kicked out of their D3 conference for being too good or something like that. If you look at St Thomas' student body size, they have over 9,000 students which means they are like a 18,000 student public college which puts it in the D1 ranks. St Francis simply was too small as a school to compete at the D1 level. Guess some schools that shouldn't be D1 are being weeded out by money.

St. Thomas wasn't kicked out. They weren't even winning their conference (MIAC) regularly in any of the major sports. Their administrators and alumni have always thought they were better than everyone else in the state not named the U. The size and structure of the school itself made it a better fit for D1 and an overinflated sense of athletic worth was the kicker that drove the move.

They’ve also got the money faucet flowing.

$85 million for a new basketball arena from just 2 donors will help their “athletic worth”.

St. Thomas wins too much, kicked out of MIAC

St. Thomas was involuntarily removed from the MIAC because its dominance had upset the competitive balance in the league.

If getting kicked out of the Big 12 means we are going B1G in t SEC, that would be a nice problem to have.
