For all the crap we like to sling at the cows over in Temple Terrace, is it possible, however unlikely, that the cows have been told by a P5 conference that "If you build it, you will be invited"?
It really doesn't make sense that they would lay out $350M for a stadium in the HOPES of getting a P5 invite. Granted, the only real value the cows could bring to a P5 conference is the market in which they are located but sometimes that is enough. Just look at Rutgers moving to the Big10. The only value they brought was the NY/NJ market for the Big10 Network. Well, that and to be a doormat much like Vandy in the SEC.
Nah, nevermind, that can't be the case. They are living, as always, in a fantasy land of hopes and dreams instead of facing the reality of how badly they have screwed up their progression over the years.
Cows gonna moo...
