The reason I asked is yesterday on one of the local sports talk shows they were talking about the situation in the Mountain West and possible teams that could be added. 

The host brought up UNT because of the overall success and more importantly the upgrade in all facilities and the IPF. The only thing that pissed me off was one he said in referring to the IPF was that they just opened "a bubble."

Huh, never heard of him or the station.

He's hosted to afternoon show for at least 20 years. As far as local shows, IMO he does a really good job.

In El Paso, I assume.  That would explain why I haven't heard of him.  I was thinking this was a DFW station.  Carry on.

Update - I messaged the host yesterday. I think he was getting it mixed with the plan that shows a "prefabricated" cover/building for the tennis courts. He knew about the IPF, he was referencing how UNT is investing in facilities and others have taken notice.

Please no to MWC. Not that we are offered or anything. We can't win where we are at and it doesn't help recruiting going out west. We had that problem in the 90s. The travel sucks. Recruits can't watch you at away games nor can your players families. I get MWC is a better conference but losing out west a lot and painful recruitment is awful.

Travel sucks but with social media and the way CFB media coverage has blown up on TV, the landscape is vastly different.  Any observations from from the 1990s needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  It's been 30 years - THIRTY YEARS - since 1990.

Yes seems to really hurt CSU when they come to DFW and multiple recruits.

Yea, would really hate to be the part of their TV deal

      This was my 80th men's basketball game since my freshman year in 2014. Best game I've seen in person, and I was in Ruston for the big comeback against LA Tech. Overcome an 18-point lead against a bitter rival on national TV with a decent crowd. Imagine a full Pit.

      And that will end right when the current media contract with the AAC expires. You know this. National exposure... We are the least watched game when we are aired. I've seen a running average of less than 100K on several of our games. ESPN can't wait to rip this bloated contract out from underneath the AAC and delegate us to ESPN+. And 5 years? We have been .500 or better in 19 of the 25 seasons this century in basketball. That is consistently putting together a competitive product year after year after year. That will never happen in football. Ever. Given football money will soon be dried up, winning and geographic matchups for all of us peasants will soon mean everything.

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      You are living in fairytale land if you think playing in another suburb would significantly increase attendance. Can anyone look up our attendance average for the season we played at old Texas Stadium? If we average more than 20k I would be shocked. The anti-UNT athletics culture of Denton, I can vouch for. But students know this program doesn’t compete at the highest level and usually lose to best known good programs that come to Denton. What is our biggest home win within the last 20 years you would expect a college age football fan to know about? When Seth’s best team crap the bed at home against La Tech(Joe Green statue dedication and etc). But by that time they had already given Seth two extensions for leading team that didn’t win conference or bowl games. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      What a finish. The way go get around the ESPN and ESPN2 and all the alphabet soup is to come to the games. There’s nothing like all the fans standing and yelling “DEFENSE” or NORTH, TEXAS, NORTH, TEXAS, in unison.
