More teams to fill in will be needed to keep that going. -- HOO86 Dec 08, 2023 at 09:42 AM ET

God forbid we play sports with an academically inferior institution 🙄🙄🙄** -- Pylons Dec 08, 2023 at 10:54 AM ET

Ducks and the Husseys never would have done that given the options** -- 949hokie Dec 08, 2023 at 08:06 AM ET
