This crossed my mind as well about the crowd. Focus on what you have been doing the whole year.

I'm expecting a tough game from LA Tech, after the way we won in Ruston they are looking for revenge. As always focus from minute 1. GMG!

PERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Focus! Focus! Focus! Let's get it.

Alright which one of you is crashing the site?

I was already drafting the letter to C-USA:

It was a great road test, not everyone is going to be dominated by our stifling defense. Some teams punch back when they get punched, it helps the players stay on their toes. I've got to hand it to the guys for grinding out a tough road game, vs a very good home team. I felt that by the 2nd half they adjusted their mentality and accepted that this was going to be a physical game to the end. We wasted a couple of possessions in the last 7 mins of the half or so that would have given us some breathing room. Free throws continue to put us in tighter situations than we need, we must improve on that.

I can't believe they didn't call the foul when Perry was clearly hit on the arm to lose it out of bounds. Then the foul on the 3 for Drez was awful. 4 inches of space between the two and they call that?

Unfortunately for the SBC 3 C-USA is not obligated to operate on their timeline. If we take a step back and look at this from above those 3 schools are trying to negotiate a deal before the schedules are out to show there is little disruption and lower the penalty. C-USA chose to wait so they have a clear picture on what those damages would be. They can now say WKU loses this date, at this time, on this network, etc. I'd guess that is why their legal team had them wait until now. Each side is looking out for their own self interest. A key point is, I don't think C-USA HAS to negotiate. They can sit back, let the parties breach the contract, take it to court and collect the fees/damages the court deems fair. I'm trying to view this from a legal perspective and not pick sides. While it may be a dick move by C-USA to wait, I do think they are performing within their legal rights.

I don't know if I would call the statements put out by those 3 schools as amicable. I think everyone read them as a big middle finger to the conference. That's the problem, we don't know how much they offered to leave (rumors say there was an amount offered by the schools,) I can only assume it wasn't enough for CUSA to agree. How do we know they aren't trying to skate, as you put it? We don't, no one if the public does. If the SBC3 feel like they have been wronged and have a case, get a team of lawyers and sue the pants off of CUSA, what's so hard about that? If the AAC had openings for us now: 1. Not while Littrell is the coach, Houston, Cicny, UCF, etc. would destroy us. I'd rather go into the new conference with a fresh start, not to get curb stomped. 2. Not if we had to pay some ridiculous amount to get out, the way they are handling this having 9 teams leave the conference at the same time would exponentially increase the damages. No one doubts that the CUSA leadership has been lacking. But who's fault is that? Why didn't Judy's bosses vote her out? The schools in this conference have just as much blame for not ousting a bad leader.

CUSA gets a lot of flack for doing nothing, so now that they stand their ground and people complain? Let me remind everyone that the contract was signed by every school, I think it would look worse if CUSA just rolled over and let these schools walk all over them. If you ask me the SBC3 are acting like spoiled kids, wanting out without going through the proper channels. You don't stop paying your car payment and tell the bank, "here is this amount for the penalty." They will decide what you pay, and they will rake you over the coals when they do. CUSA said, "That's how you want to do things? Let's play hardball then."

CUSA requires a 14 month notice and forfeit of 2 years of conference revenue to leave the conference. The SB3 wanting to leave early means they will be in breach of that contract, meaning they will be liable for damages and penalties caused by their early departure, in addition to their exit fees. No one knows the details, but it is rumored that the SBC3 offered a penalty amount to CUSA and people assume it was much lower than CUSA wanted. Again no one knows the details here this is just what's been speculated. This caused CUSA to not respond, which we can assume was council by their lawyers. So this whole thing boils down to if the 3 want to leave early they will have to pay what CUSA deems to be appropriate.

I have seen many posters post something similar to this. NO. These 3 schools are not negotiating the buy out, the buyout will be paid by both them and us. There is 0 leeway on this. What these schools are negotiating is a penalty for leaving early. UNT and the other 5 are not leaving early, so we have nothing to negotiate.

Laser focused on FAU, they are a very good home team. (10 game win streak at home)

Is he at the top of CUSA already? I couldn't find any recent info on salaries. I disagree if you are saying he doesn't deserve a bump. He has performed stellarly, and that deserves recognition. It shows that his efforts are noted and recognized. It also sends a clear message that he has the full support of the Athletic Dept. and UNT behind him, and IMO that message is the most important thing.

I was watching that game too and was thinking, "Wow imagine getting a nationally televised BB game on ABC, on a Saturday."

I feel like Mac should be getting 1-1.2m depending on how the rest of the season plays out.

Thanks, I thought maybe something like that happened, but thought it was weird that the announcers never mentioned it. At least not that I remembered.

😂😂 I was confused on that too. It thought it was on the foul on Stone, but there was something else there.

My pleasure and you are all very welcome. I was wondering if GMG would be against me posting the link, but if that's allowed I'd be glad to drop a link for any future games when I can.
