MeanGreen61

Dates back to the early years of Belt football. SpaceRaider referred to UNT as the grUNTs. Deep Green struck back with the muts label for them. Seems that the muts has hung around and is actually used be posters from other schools in referring to the Belt 'glamour team".

Some don't think he's opposed to MAC teams dropping down to FCS (1AA) ARTICLE - INTERVIEW WITH NEW MAC COMMISH http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/in...erence_com.html Thread from the MAC board. http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=373975

The Mountain West Conference hired a lobbying firm this year, unusual for an individual league. MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson appeared before Congress last month and proposed an overhaul of football's BCS system, including a playoff. The commissioners from 11 major conferences discussed it in April with no movement toward approval, and they are to talk about it again in Colorado Springs on Tuesday after getting input from their respective conference members. It is not expected to be put into place. ARTICLE http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2009-06-14-...sts-cover_N.htm

BCS Revenue BCS share: $9.648,000 Sugar Bowl payout: $9.648,000 Each share of half BCS revenue ($4,824,000): $321,600 Each share of remaining bowl revenue ($3,648,000): $243,200 Total dispersal of revenue Mountain West: $8,572,800 WAC: $3,224,000 C-USA: $2,657,600 MAC: $2,094,400 Sun Belt: $1,529,600 HOWEVER Each conference divides the money evenly to their member schools. So even though both Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference netted more than $2 million, the money the schools got was pretty similar to the Sun Belt. In fact, each of the eight Sun Belt members earned more than each of the 13 members of the MAC. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/ncfnation/0-9-3...CS-revenue.html

Career starts returning for ALL 120 offensive lines http://philsteele.com/Blogs/June09/DBJune2.html

A couple of years ago, the NCAA and national athletic directors' association were doing surveys on staff and coaching salaries for a national report. When those entering Marshall's submission into a database saw Marcum's salary, they phoned the Herd AD to make sure it wasn't a typographical error. The average athletic director salary in C-USA is just north of $280,000. That's not the only mismatch in resources for the Herd that has been cranked up several degrees by the move from the Mid-American Conference to C-USA. As the northernmost member of C-USA, Marshall is a Rust Belt school trying to compete in a Sun Belt league - and I don't mean the conference of Troy, Arkansas State and Western Kentucky (where, by the way, the average AD still makes about $55,000 annually more than Marcum does). ARTICLE Marshall will need to anti up for the next athletic director http://www.dailymail.com/Sports/MUSports/200906030050

From the Muts board. The AD said Western likes its spot (as a big dog) in the Sun Belt. But if WKU aspires to being perceived as a major program, I'd say at some point it has to consider a higher-profile league. "By being I-A in football, by having a football stadium that could be expanded if we need it, if the opportunity for some kind of conference realignment emerged, we could be a major player in it," Selig said. So can Western someday move into the gated community that houses UK and U of L and truly give college sports in Kentucky a Big Three? There's so much -- resources, tradition, the barrier of not being in a BCS league -- that works against that, I'd still say the answer is almost certainly no. But after the past couple of years, maybe Western can at least start to see the gate. Said Selig: "Perception is probably the hardest thing to change. The perception, statewide, might be that WKU has a nice little program, has had a nice little run of success. FULL ARTICLE http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/131074975
