We would be better off going independent

At least as an independent we could schedule anyone we want and help fill the P2 schedules. That would make for good home games and for good tv. I’d be willing to give up a shot at a national title if we could fill our schedule with all P2 teams in made for TV games. That grouping is not at all exciting and would forever relegate VT sports to a much lesser level.
