I doubt that they would be seriously talking if BIG 12 Presidents hadn't already given the green light.

Regardless he is talking about UTSA, not UNT.

So we beat Purdue in NCAA's, won NIT, and didn't move attendance needle one point. The students at UNT don't put cheeks in the seats and support athletics .

"Locked on Big 12 " podcast is discussing UTSA's potential to join the Big 12. The moderator is using the recent announcement of the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio merging with UTSA as a big step towards that goal as they now become the 3rd largest research facility in Texas behind UT Austin and Texas A&M . He also compares the Orlando market and UCF to San Antonio. Hey, don't shoot the messenger.If interested check him out.

We don't have the money to compete with the big boys in the NIL. Also, our poor attendance of 4,000 average for men's basketball closes more doors than it opens.

Stanford and Cal knew about the increase in travel costs when they moved to the ACC. Why would they go back to the PAC 2? Plus they sighed away their media rights when they joined the ACC.

Bean played well for Indy against the Bengals.

Gee, with only a few exceptions we have pretty much been a body bag game for SMU.

I want some of what you are smoking.

Agreed, and I wish you guys luck in the ACC. However I am disappointed that you dropped us from your schedule. You still need 3 OOC teams and surely we can bring more fans than Houston Christian.

No one really wants San Jose State. Everything I have seen has the PAC 2 cherry picking the MWC 6 of the schools you mentioned and adding 2 to 4 AAC programs.The most mentioned are UTSA,Rice,Tulane, and Memphis, but not UNT. I personally think that they will pick the 6 from the MWC getting to 8 programs, and see what happens to the ACC. They can always fill in with a few AAC schools later.

Also zero chance of FSU/Clemson getting out of the media rights contract with the ACC. A contracts/patent/trademark attorney was a recent guest on the Big Mountain podcast and after reviewing the media rights contract said that the existing ESPN contract is entirely separate from it and has no bearing on it. He said the AAC media rights contract states that its members relinquish their media rights regardless if they are in the conference or not. In summary he stated that FSU/Clemson are going to have to convince a judge [ the one in N.C, has final say as this is the state in which the original contract was executed] that the ACC put a gun to their heads and forced them to sign a contract that has made 10's of millions of dollars for both schools since its inception.

None of the pundits I have seen include UNT in this scenario but do mention Rice and UTSA.

Well its situated midway between Austin and San Antonio so there is that. My question back to you is what is the appeal of UNT? Most recent football coaches complain that its difficult to recruit here. Finding the answer to that question may be the answer to yours.

Agreed!

I think that our entire season rests on the shoulders of our defense. We should be able to score similar to last year but can we stop anyone?

Who said I could spel?

With the transfer portal and NIL I think its hard to rank recruiting.

I said I was from Arkansas. I am lucky to be able to read and right.

I doubt the P4 scheduling of G6 programs is going away anymore that P6 schools scheduling 1AA teams. A coach still needs to win 6 games and go to some piss ant bowl in order to keep his job.

Hey, I am originally from Arkansas and resent this comment.

Always expect more or you will get less.

Plus we just lost a starting DB transfer from Mississippi for the season with knee injury.

The key to successful liquor sales is distribution. I invested in a now defunct tequila company that had an excellent product but we never could get a strong distributor and didn't make it. Oh well.

I so hope you are right. If so I will call you "Lucky!"
