The Texas State ASG measure passed with 80% supporting our move to I-A football. The move must be made in 5 years or less or athletic funding will be cut by 50%. The Texas State Board of Regents approved our move to I-A football back in 2000 if we find conference affiliation. I hope you guys invite us to the SBC. SBC officials were on campus a year ago looking at our facilities. http://star.txstate.edu/index.php?option=c...sk=view&id=1414

West Texas A & M is DII. They offer schollies.

I would be willing to bet you that Texas State vrs. UNT averages better than any Sunbelt Conference game in attendance. Ready to take the bet?

I will tell you this. The ASG started the name change to Texas State. That happened. The BOR approved our move up to I-A in 2000. To my knowledge that approval is still in effect with one provision that we must seek membership in a I-A conference. BTW. Texas has their own problems with UTSA wanting to start a football program at the I-A level. There has been several articles in the SA newspaper talking about a new SWC with UNT, TCU, SMU, Houston, Rice, Tulsa, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette, New Mexico State, Arkansas State, Texas State and UTSA as future members.

Thanks David is a friend of mine. He is a class act. Coach B came back with aspirations and a plan to move Texas State to I-A. We would definitely bring a crowd to Denton. We had 4,000 attend the game at Baylor in 2004 and a good following at Texas A & M last year considering the hurricane.

Thanks We had 26 seniors on last years team. Everyone in the SLC will be gunning for us this year. We have a number of talented players waiting to play. We have a QB that Louisiana Tech tried to recruit away (6'6" 230) from us that should start. Bradley George was a blue chipper in high school. He signed a pro baseball contract out of high school. We also have Chase Wasson back who started as our QB in 2004 when Barrick Nealy was injured. I would love to see our two teams play again. Dennis Francione was our coach the last time we played the MeanGreen.

I thought MeanGreen Fans would be interested. We have a fans site.

MeanGreen Fans, It looks like we are serious about going I-A in football http://star.txstate.edu/index.php?option=c...=1277&Itemid=50
