The A-11 is only being rejected because schools that are more traditionally powerful, with a bigger base of supporters, find that it is making the playing field unnecessarily even.
Pissed off programs who lost are trying to go back and change the rules of the game because they are poor sports.
The fact of the matter is that if these same arguments were used 100 years ago, and accepted, football would be about as popular as lacrosse right now.
There's no reason to be afraid of innovation. Go back and watch a football game from the 40's. Look at how ****ing boring it is.
