So why are we playing Portland St., Utah St., Fresno St., San Jose St,
UMASS, East Carolina, Boise St, UNLV, in the same season?
You want to play the best? So did I when I first heard of Independence. We're not. We are playing two or three more games a year against P5's than we were and one of them is Utah. That's it. Our schedule is a craptastic after that. And for those two extra games we gave up the MWC basketball schedule that has three times the eyeballs as the WCC and three times the attendance and 5 times the amount of teams that have qualified for the NCAA tourney over 10 years. Parity.
We want our football players to have something to COMPETE for. Read what Eric Drage just said and numerous former players. They want the MWC back. They see the October and November schedule and realize like many of us have that it's a MWC SCHEDULE!!!! Just get back in it already and play for the championship and NY6 bowl.
