All depends on what the OOC looks like……if we raise the bar high enough and win so high level OOC games and lose only high level the NET may still be high enough. Indiana State didn’t play a strong OOC.

Didn't really know where to put this, but seems like a money talks sort of thing. Reggie Bush got his Heisman trophy returned because in the current world of college sports he did nothing wrong. So, what he did was wrong 15 years ago, but it's OK now because it's now legal to give players bags of money up front. WTF? Does that mean that all previous violations are forgiven? Nobody ever cheated, no school ever won a title( i.e. Michigan, North Carolina, CONNECTICUT for example) with inelegible players because they accepted booster money? The world of college sports has gone mad and is getting crazier every day.

Has the NCAA reinstated our Final 4 appearance?

The Heisman Trophy is given by an organization separate from the NCAA. They can do whatever they want with their award, sort of how they took it away from him in the first place.

I would say there's a better chance of Mike Greenwell getting the MVP than UMass getting its Final Four formally reinstated.

I honestly can't tell by your reply if my reference went way over your head, or I did something wrong in making the reference.
