The Rivalry

onto another topic,
I'm closely connected to the one school that has quite a reputation for having fans that don't pull for the conference or other teams in the conference. The sentiment is dying somewhat, but it's mainly due to the conference completely bending us over and [censored] us

there was the ridiculous late 60s slush scandal enforcement by the conference

the postseason probation over a QB suing the conference for a medical redshirt year

other local teams conspiring to do the 89-90 NCAA investigation for basketball

and the one-sidedness in 'breaks' against some of the conference favored cows

Alot of the old-timers still hate the conference with a passion---a small minority wished the school left it a long time ago

Occam's Razor: If your team sucks for a long period of time, is it more likely to be the result of poor management/decisions/location/etc, or a vast conspiracy? Actually, real question: what is your explanation of the probation during/after the Mike White era in the 80's? Like what was the school accused of and why in your opinion was it wrong?
