This is the way I view the situation in general -- there are essentially a couple groups of schools these days, one group that has universities with resources to compete for national titles on a fairly regular basis, as well as one that includes schools whose athletic teams should focus on winning conference championships and bowl games, and attaining postseason tournament berths. I earned my bachelor's degree from UT-Austin and my master's degree from Texas State. I expect UT-Austin to win a team national title (men's or women's) in some sport each school year, whereas I feel like Texas State should realistically be competing for conference titles, bowl victories, and spots in postseason tournaments. Texas State can still hang conference championship banners from the rafters, and I think it's certainly something to be proud of. I believe North Texas has won three bowl games in its history, so perhaps UNT should be angling for winning bowl games in three consecutive seasons or making the NCAA tournament three straight years. I mean, what's wrong with that?
