This is pure paranoia from a program that's looking for excuses before the season even starts. We've been building something real at Stetson, and nobody in the Big Ten office is losing sleep over us. Our success comes from hard work on the practice field at Spec Martin Stadium, not some conspiracy in a conference room. If Purdue is so worried about political favoritism, maybe they should focus on winning more games intead of crying about administrative moves. We operate with integrity and grit, and we don't need backroom deals to compete. Every program has alumni in conference roles, that's just how networking works, but it doesn't dictate wins and losses. Our coaches are focused on developing our players and executing our game plan, not scheming for favorable treatment. The idea that scheduling is being rigged against specific schools is a weak mindset. We control what we can control, and that's our preparation and our performance every Saturday. Let them worry about the politics, we'll be busy winning football games the right way.
