I was reading a new Reddit thread today regarding chatter from out west concerning UNT reportedly having a group of wealthy donors ready to cover the AAC exit fees if/when UNT joins the Pac. If so, we'd likely see UNT and Texas State both going to the Pac, perhaps with Saint Mary's also joining for non-football sports. Now I'm even more intrigued!

Also what happens when the west and east coast all moves to Texas because of taxes and jobs etc like they predict? Shitholes like West Virginia get to stay in bigger conferences just because the Texas schools don’t want any competition? Look at how long it took UofH to gain acceptance into the Big 12!

I have been posting about this on here for wars now, you are who your opponents are! Now they get to walk a mile in our shoes. Ironically Cal who was in the original PAC 12 has been the best nonconference opponent we could muster recently. My guess is this same decreasing fan phenomenon happening at WSU is also happening at Baylor, TCU, and the other Big 12 schools who feasted off of UT and A&M and OU etc all those many years.

I've said it here before, if politicians were smart they'd put the clamps on college athletics and equal out media dollars across the board, and set salary caps in an effort to level out the playing field. Looking at Texas alone for example, we could be boosting economy in cities like El Paso, San Marcos, Denton, and Huntsville in addition to the already sports-dependent markets like Austin, College Station, and Lubbock. Instead we'd rather keep the same few markets at the top and let the others struggle. Why you wouldn't want more money circulating is beyond me but I guess anything to keep the top dogs happy.

My understanding was Newell was still being paid from Cal so we didn’t have to pay him any NIL money. I would take him for free.

It’s a complete overhaul. I doubt a single player or coach is back. It’s just how it is now a days

I think Coach Robinson can do it, too. And, credit where credit is due, Mosley deserves recognition for identifying this notion and incorporating it as a criteria in his hiring process. We've maintained a defense-first program for nearly a decade under two coaches. It has truly become a defining characteristic for us, one that people across the nation have begun to associate with our team. That identity could have been swiftly destroyed if Mosley had hired an offensive-minded coach with less emphasis on defense. However, by bringing in Robinson, we have the chance to genuinely build on that foundation and identity as a program, and that's a key way to develop an iconic program. Toughest team wins. Keep building on it, Coach Robinson!

My guess nobody. anything else would be unusual.

Exactly. You buy a beer or two because the food was free. You buy the kid an ice cream because the food was free. Pretty soon you’ve spent as much as you would have spent on the food.

Estelle told Hank and Dave last night that he was headed to WVU with Ross. Any word on who might be staying?

But none of that has much to do about monetary hierarchy. Uk, ark, and atm can money whip. The narrative you're creating is trying to group us up with them. They drive Bugattis. We drive a Honda civic.

Yeah but he left. Arkansas and Kentucky lost their head coaches last season too. My point is that no matter where you are on the college basketball revenue hierarchy, you are going to lose your coach sometimes. Good programs keep winning. Are we a good program now? I’m still buying season tickets and making my small monthly donation to NIL so I hope so.

I’m more interested in grabbing experienced college players out of the portal. Let’s enter a Horizon League ALL STAR team into the American Conference next season.

Buzz didn't leave due to money.

If Texas A&M (which has as much or more $ than any college in the country) can lose their coach, then any school can lose their coach. Losing coaches is part of being a big-time basketball program. Just wait until Grant McCasland gets offered a top tier SEC or Big 10 job. It is going to happen and when it does, he will be riding the next dirt storm out of Lubbock. The coaches and players will come and go, but can the program sustain winning?

Needs to be put on a strength program.

Who is his Mom? I am guessing she is commenting on X/Twitter?

Reminds me of when my son was in about 5th grade. He was a good athlete, but not a good basketball player. A mom was putting together a “select” team and asked my son to play (even though I told her he wasn’t very good). Not only was this not a true select team, but they signed us up in the highest level league in Plano. This video reminds me of those games. I think the first game was something like 80-15 and it didn’t get much better until they let up drop down a couple of levels.🤣🤣🤣.

Thanks dude. Best wishes to you.

Attendance at WSU football games — and enrollment at the university overall — is dropping, threatening local businesses dependent on sports fans. https://www.cascadepbs.org/news/2025/04/how-end-pac-12-conference-hurting-pullmans-economy

Rangers tried that and in Cleaveland a riot broke out

AD, admin staff, other coaches, players, humm?...... I guess fans really aren't needed in this program?

Agree. I think different shares will soon become more the norm within a conference. Boise was getting a larger share in the MWC. UNLV and AF are going to get a larger share in the MWC going forward (to keep them from bolting and signing their GOR). The ACC will begin distributing revenue by giving schools that earned the revenue more of it...in response to the Fla St and Clemson law suit. I wouldn't be surprised to see Memphis soon ask the AAC for more revenue than the others.

LOL….that is like being the tallest building in Stanton, Texas. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. GMG
