Are the COOGS really headed to the Big East?


   Finally the Cougars have a football invitation. But it’s not to the BIGXII; it’s to the Big East. Where they become a part of a BCS AQ (Automatic Qualifier) conference. With that invitation, comes a whole lot of responsibility. Financial responsibility, time gather up the pride and start sending in those dollars. Talking time is over, Robertson and Hofheinz are now about to be put on as fast a renovation track as possible. Just because you’ve been invited, doesn’t mean you can wait around anymore. But wait, hold everything, Missouri has announced that they will be moving to The SEC. Doesn’t that leave only nine schools in the BIGXII. Somebody has to fill that spot, and soon, very soon. Well folks looks like 2011 is shaping up to put institutions of higher learning in position to have their BCS bowl affiliations contract renewals ducks in a row for the year 2014, or is it 2013. No matter, right now it is about conference survival. It’s who will have the allotted school numbers to keep their AQ status. Yeah, I hear my compardres talk about AAU (American Academic University) school affiliations. That doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. When it comes to the public, football is relevant, period. And now, I’m headed to a cattle call seeking answers and will probably leave with more questions. My head is spinning round and round.
