Rick, I will defer to your better memory, but I think that we offered TWU $12M but they had second thoughts and decided not to sell. I'm sure someone with greater computer skills than I have could clairfy.Regardless,as a taxpayer I see no reason for a 2nd public law school in DFW since graduating lawyers are having a hard time finding jobs.Too many pigs,not enough teets.

or us

I didn't think of that.Now that I do you are probably right.The MAC numbers were actually ACC's. Typo by DMN. Oh well.

School of Pharmacy?

January 27th,p.12C of DMN had a breakdown of the top 5 conference revenues for 2012 as reported this month by Forbes magazine.Number 3 was the MAC,with $292M,ahead of SEC with $270M and Big 12 with $262M. Number 1 was Big 10,with $310M followed by Pac-12 with $303M. TV revenues for the MAC were $240M,just behind Big 10 and Pac-12 at $250M each,ahead of SEC with $205M and Big 12 at $200M. Individual payout per school within conferences was as follows: Big 10,$25.83M,Pac-12,$25.25M,MAC,$24.33M,SEC,$22.50M,and Big 12,$26.20M.Of the MAC's 13 football programs,7 went to bowl games last year. Granted that the MAC's revenues were somewhat inflated by No.Illinois's BCS bowl bid,but if I'm Marshall I'm asking myself "why did I ever leave the MAC?," and if I'm W.K. Im' wondering "How can I get in the MAC?."

Just my opinion,but we seem to be trying to get the "best of the rest" just as we have tried in the past. I just don't see much if any difference in Coach Mac's results than Dickey's.Lot's of 4A and 3A players, but I don't know how many from 5A programs.Could Harry or someone more knowledgeable than me [which would be a long list]give us a breakdown as to the level of high school play from our 23 committments ?

Finally,of the 23 committments we have, how many are from 5A high school programs?

Is it just me, or is anyone else concerned that in DMN's list of top 100 area players none have committed to North Texsa? I see committments to UTEP,UTSA,La. Tech,New Mexico State,New Mexico,SMU. These are not exactly powerhouses.Is our direction 3a and 4a high schools outside the metroplex,which is about the same road Darrell Dickey took with some success?Just asking wiser heads than me for opinion.

On paper a bumblebee can't fly.

What about the safety that just lost his ride to Washington State? Room for him or not?

Harry, how do you think we look at DT's?

sorry,all gone

I don't know how many ship's we have left to give ,but I only see one DE and no DT's on list.We sure need to develope a pass rush.

It just pains me too much to watch to watch our mens team. I have 2 floor seats #'s 1 & 2 that are free for the taking.Those available are for 1/24,2/7,2/21/&2/28. Please e-mail me your snail mail adress with order of preference and I will do my best to sort out on a 1st come basis.

I don't know. Replace Tulsa with ULL and it looks like it would work,but it also looks like the Belt with less travel.

With our record,I don't see how we can look down our noses at anyone. I was at the FAU game last year,and if not for a very bad call against them the Owls would have won.

From the outside looking in I see a negative attitude coming from the players. I just can't believe that Mitchell would be scoreless in a game. I don't think the players have bought into Bedford's system[ I don't have a clue what it is],nor like and respect him,hence the number of suspensions.Granted he has had a number of injuries,and inherited no outside shooters,but I think at the end of the day Bedford was a bad hire.Conformation of that will be if you see players transfering out of our program instead of transfering in as they did under Johnny.

Texas wants 10 schools. Texas gets what it wants.

It shows how far down the rabbitt hole we have fallen when we describe Western Division of CUSA as brutal paired with likes of UTEP,UTSA,Rice,So. Miss[0&12 last year] and La. Tech,who graduated a large percentage of their starters.Tulsa is good,but UAB?

You guys are correct. A- State would fill in the gap nicely.Regarding W.K., the MAC has 13 members,7 in East and 6 in West.One of the East members is U.Mass,who could be Big East Bound. Regardless,the Mac had 7 bowl teams last year,and could be a soft landing for the Hilltoppers.I'm afraid the Belt is going the way of the WAC.

In a perfect world I would be happy with North Texas,UTEP,New Mexico State,Rice,UTSA,Texas State,La. Tech,ULL,ULM,and A-State in one conference[i assume Tulsa will join the Big East],with Marshall,MTSU,W.K.,ODU,UNC@C,FAU,FIU,UAB,Troy,&USA in the other. So. Miss could swing either way,depending on whether La. Tech and ULL will play in same conference as ULM. One conference could take the Sun Belt name,the other CUSA,and we could all go on with our lives.

No one but ARMY,BYU, and the Irish can make it as a football independent.
