No analysis of arena, attendance, commitment from the institution, historical records beyond the past 4-5 years.

Springborofan ... not to diss you but no program is accepted into a conference using these parameters (highlighted) over the program record/success. Yes commitment from the institution is a value and UD has definitely demonstrated that. But some of the programs already in the BE have nowhere near the facilities and attendance we do .... so thinking that these parameters bias a decision in favor of us .... well no. You see we weren't asked in the first round and these factors were there already.
So one has to believe that other factors were/are in play besides an arena or attendance numbers ......
It's like writing a research paper on the mating habits of wood ducks while the actual assignment paper was detailing the use of radar to detect geological faults, getting a D and arguing you should have gotten an A since all the words were spelled correctly. It an't happenin'
