They will never replace it but they would still be solid additions.  I am not sure if SMU will get in this round or not, but I like how we are positioned for the next round which they will need to do as all of the major conferences will need to have 16 to match with the SEC.  The rumor on the Hilltop is that there are some big money donors offering to offset the Big 12 revenue share to make us more attractive to the existing schools.  SMU is the only program that has been able to offer that.

But there is still no fans at the game…except maybe visiting fans.

From fraternities, to trophy wives, to conference membership, it’s the SMU mantra…”You may have no interest in associating with me otherwise, but I’ll pay you to let me hang around”

So SMU would take less revenue which would be filled by donors from SMU…to pay…..SMU? Those donors will then fill the gap that the BIG 12 will not give SMU for joining. That sounds shady AF and not sustainable in the long term 🤨

Adding any School in the state of Texas doesn’t really help the Big 12.  With Houston being supported more by Houstonians (when they are good) it as least something to sell the Networks.  SMU is not really the common Dallas area man’s school nor football program.  More infamous for receiving the death penalty more than they are famous for anything.  The PAC 12 needs to either take a couple of Texas teams not currently in the Big 12 or just hold their noses and take OSU and Texas Tech.

I still think TCU give the PAC12 the best opportunity for a Texas market

So dream on, mustangfan ...your great- grandchildren will not see SMU in the Big 12.  Just hunker down with the rest of us, bud.
Arrogantly blocking & blackballing North Texas at every conference re-alignment turn seems to me to be having a most subtle payback. 
So just bask in the glory of that 1930-something National Championship.  
A time that was closer to Indian depridations in Texas than the present.

Dude,   NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SMU's ability to pay for silly things!

 

Not gonna lie, if NT had more deep pocket donors, I'd hope we could "offer" the same kind of thing.  But alas, I'm broke.

True. In this case I’m more hating on the player than the game 😅

I hate SMUt as much as anyone but this jealousy isn’t a good look for us tbh.

On a related note, do a lot of you drive really large trucks or sports cars? 👀

North Texas has a 12 zeros earning (as in billionaire) UNT alum close to our scene who could be to us as Fertitta is to UH.  No name mentioned but if you know please do let UNT’s cache of fundraisers deal with him.

I see that Orlando is the biggest TV market without a pro team?   So is Houston smaller than Orlando, I don't think Houston has a pro team right now.😉

I hear Judy put out a new memo for CUSA members:   She is studying the changing conferences and will get back to them when she figures it out.  Fire Judy now!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
