What a great day for everyone associated with NT.      What a good feeling after having to endure the last 6 weeks of football.     

Now, about that football team 😉

Maybe a bit of a lift/motivation?

It won’t until we get a new coach who can develop linemen.

But what it does for the fanbase is huge. It proves that the investment into the facilities has been worth it.

For one, the increased revenue from the AAC will allow our leadership to justify paying $2m+ to our football coach.   

We overpaid for Littrell given what happened.   But, it also showed that the school is serious about competing and spending the money when necessary.

It's a win on all fronts.   We just have to get through this dreadful season in Football.   Hopefully, they won't embarrass themselves against Liberty.   Our new conference mates will be watching (and noticing the potentially small crowd).

Being in a better conference should help Recruiting also!

Just a hunch, but I don't think the crowd this Saturday will be as small as you think.  I think we get over 15K which would be great for a 1-5 team.
