Love this hire. Sounds great. And she having a connection already with two of our pitchers......should mean something. Very impressive hire.

BVito had it in the sports capsules one day in the DMNews. I found it in his online blog....(copied here....amongst other items: The American Athletic Conference renamed its MVP award for the league’s football championship after outgoing commissioner Mike Aresco and officially announced its basketball tournament will remain at Dickies Arena through 2028 at its annual business meetings this week. The MVP will now receive the Mike Aresco Most Outstanding Player award. The league announced those moves and a host of others on Friday, one day after the event wrapped up. Aresco announced his retirement in December. He was named the fourth commissioner of the Big East in 2012 and oversaw its transformation as it became the American. Friday was Aresco’s final day as the league’s commissioner. Tim Pernetti, the former president of IMG Academy, is taking over for Aresco. The league honored Aresco with a celebration of his tenure on Wednesday. “Serving as Commissioner of the American Athletic Conference has been the most rewarding experience of my career,” Aresco said in a statement. UNT athletic director Jared Mosley was named to the conference’s athletic directors executive committee and will serve a term that runs through 2026. The league made several other announcements following the meetings, including … -- The conference’s 2025 softball tournament will be played at South Florida. -- UNT will host the league’s annual Academic Symposium in 2025. -- The league will increase the fees paid to softball umpires to attract top-rated officials. -- The AAC’s finance committee said that the distribution pool for the 2024 fiscal year was higher than what the league budgeted, while expenses were lower than projected.

There are some people speculating that another team will sign him. I've read Winnipeg might be interested. Hope they're right....and someone signs Mason:

Just read in the DMNews.......that the league has agreed to keep the b-ball tourneys in Ft Worth..........through 2028. This is pretty big news....because I've got to figure a lot of the schools (Memphis and the Eastern ones)......would like to see it much closer to them. MU would like it in Memphis. So very happy that it's gonna stay here at Dickies Arena.

Either way....I'm wrong. I guess the moccasins are Chatanooga. One of those Tenn. schools.

Mocassins???

I'd say 6, but because of the portal.....I'll say 3. And that's because.....to be excited....you have to be excited about individual players. And quite frankly, with all the turnover......I'm not even sure who we have any more. I know Landon Sides, Stone Earle, Gabe Blair, Rod Brown...and a few others. But not like in normal years....where I'd know who most of the starters were.

From UMass to Hill College to UTSA to UNT to ETSU. Dr. Richard Kimble stayed in places longer....

East Tennessee State.

Bilas responds to Jared:

Looks like his Dad is one of the strength/conditioning coaches with The Cowboys.

Says he's a grad transfer....with two years of eligibility...

I know a team in Dallas that could really use a RB.

That $385 million....is a big number. But it's for 7 years. And it's for the whole league. So....at about $55 million per year.....that's a bit less than $4million per school for media rights, CFP payout and NCAA tournament payout. We have some of the P5s getting well over ten times that.....just for TV money. Ross Dellenger is just like Herbstreit, Jay Bilas, Finebaum and the rest.....they ONLY CARE about the P5s (football) and high majors (hoops).

The TD:

Seems like a lot. A lot more than usual....anyway. I think Coach Marshall is slowly building a great T & F program https://twitter.com/MeanGreenTFXC/status/1791206521948582088/photo/1
