In terms of PAC realignment, UNT and UTSA are better as a packaged deal than standalone schools.
Where UNT lacks in recent football success, UTSA can point to their two conference championships. Where UTSA lacks in basketball success, UNT can point to our recent NIT championship and NCAA tournament win. Taking both schools together expands the TV market footprint to both South Texas and DFW. Separated by 4 hours of drive time, we're natural travel partners. Plus a healthy rivalry is brewing between the schools that has room to grow as long as conference realignment doesn't muck it up.
Yeah I feel there is a lack of physicality compared to Tech that stood out. My silver lining take is that playing a team with that level of physicality can help North Texas going forward, as they know what level they at which they need to operate.

San Antonio >>>> San Marcos
They've also had more sustained success than Texas State. UTSA has been among the best G5 football programs over the last 5-7 years. Texas State has been good for a year (also tied to their magic coach who they will not be able to retain).
