I think we have done a great job on the public front, which is to say nothing about realignment, and say everything about being a good school for your current conference. Our only gaffe in this whole process was the revelation that we applied for ACC membership when UL, Cincy, and UConn did. Which wasn't that bad.
Any future conference is likely going to put some weight on how good of a team player a member is. Cincy, UConn, Memphis and UCF are coming off cats in heat. It's not classy or respectable. They are acting like millennials, and we are acting like old schoolers.
