The highlight of the article was JMU’s head Coach stating that they wouldn’t be moving up to the FBS level unless given a perfect opportunity. He then goes on to say that the FCS Playoffs are better than any mid-major bowl anyway. An interesting statement. Does C-USA have a future and should North Texas be a part of it?

Good article.

The future of cUSA is as a destination for Sun Belt teams.  That will continue until the Sun Belt is no more & the cUSA becomes the new, and unimproved, Sun Belt.  The future of UNT is the MWC, unless our Athletic Director manages to get us in a new conference with Liberty, Bob Jones, Oral Roberts, & Patriot Bible College.

I’m a fan of moving to the MWC, although I think I’m in the minority.  I honestly see it as the only logical move, unless completely new conferences are made in the aftermath of the next round of realignments. UCF and USF are agitating to get into the Big 12....other schools are maneuvering as well or are contemplating moving up to FBS. This is a critical time for North Texas athletics as a whole. All programs need to perform well in order for North Texas to have any leverage in future realignment.

I'll take AAC too (not going to happen because of SMU's presence), but yes, I think the MWC is a more realistic move up.

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
