    I'm already getting annoyed with some of the dumber Wichita people spouting this line. They hate Creighton so much and think this somehow gives them a leg up on the Blue Jays. Having a far superior basketball coach and actually winning some games in March gives them a leg up on Creighton. This? No.

    Until the AAC or the Big East has the power to create their own legislation without the approval of the rest of the NCAA, they will not be a Power Five (or P6, or P7) conference.

    The difference is that we (Big East) understand that we'll never be in a position with such power.

    Hilarious. Basing your case that you are a Power Conference on that you had players Drafted by the NFL.

    As the Cleveland Browns have shown for years, just because a guy is Drafted, doesn't mean that he's any good.

    The AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC still stinks.

    And the AAC is skewing the statistics and their fans are buying into because they're all idiots. The AAC has 12 football members. The Big 12 only has 10. The AAC averaged 1.25 draft picks per school and the Big 12 averaged 1.4 per school. The AAC had one god damn pick more than the Big 12 with two more schools. But sure, they should definitely go all in on this power 6 bullshit.

    UC fans are and will always be morons.

    Take it back!

    Nevermind the conference picks, I find it more interesting the Power 5 schools with no draft picks. A school like Kentucky isn't all that surprising, but I am shocked Oregon had nobody drafted.
