I understand schools are going to try and better themselves, but does he get a little pissed at Rice, who has not even played a game, making inquiries about leaving the conference?

Yes. 

Again, ridding smu, Memphis, and Tulane is not the end of the world. They are making what will lead to lateral moves, imo. There are better athletic departments sitting out there. Look no further than Army, JMU, and App St. I'd entertain ULL as a 4th addition if Rice does get swiped. There is a way to better from this if this scenario happens.

The AAU designation for Rice and Tulane is important to Stanford and Cal.

Mad at Rice for doing what? An internet rumor? What does "applied for membership" even mean? Did they ask, "Hey are you thinking of adding schools?" There was a rumor a number of schools "filled out the paperwork to apply" but what does that mean? It's not like there is a formal application to join a conference!

That does what to dig Cal and the other 2 left overs dig their way out of a severe financial disadvantage faster?   If they are contemplating this Stanford and Cal should stop wasting everyone's time and go independent.  Their non revenue sports would be served well in the WCC with Gonzaga.

We’re talking “Sports” conferences, not Law School associations.

You might want to do a little research on how much this means to certain conferences and certain schools

It didn’t help the PAC so much, did it?   Five of them are now sleeping with the Big12.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      For sure. There are some battles we are facing that are industry-wide. just add it to the list of things that I wrote above, and still believe it’s wild we don’t get 5k or more.

      And 69th best comment is ignorance al, because it assumes that all teams in the tourney were better without even taking into consideration the low-major teams getting their autobids. I would say more like 35-38th best, which I believe was our NET at the end of that year. Still the highest ever ranked NET team to not make an at-large bid.

      I have two free tickets (third row, center court) to the January 22 men’s game vs. Temple to anyone who hasn’t attended a men’s game this season and is curious about what all the fuss is about. DM me.

      D1 football has about 130 teams. D1 men’s basketball has almost 400 teams. 69th in basketball is closer to being a Top 25 team in football. And in reality, that UNT NIT winner could have very well made the same Final Four run that FAU made if we had been allowed into the NCAA tournament.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Where has anyone said to dump football? Further, where has anyone even said to drop to FCS? Look, I'm a football guy. I'm a football coach. I love football. I'm not really that big of a basketball guy. I enjoy it enough to go to games. We just have to understand simple math as it pertains to NIL, funding, attendance, athletic budget, etc etc. For UNT, the math doesn't math for football. Even if the math panned out we would still be what we are, UNT football. However, the math gets very easy to understand, allocate, etc etc in basketball. 5K avg attendance for us in basketball is a big deal and doable. Funding a basketball roster to have 8 competitive players play for us is doable. Allocating more money to UNT basketball can and should be done. Getting a new arena is probably a pipe dream but desperately needs to happen. We have the resources to take the next step in basketball and we can get ahead of the curve and shine a positive light on our University via basketball. That's what it's about. We can be Gonzaga in 1999, today. All we have to do is understand who we are, what we can and can't accomplish and have someone to have the vision to accomplish it. Starting July 1, 2025 schools can pay players directly and we need to do everything in our power to ensure that basketball stays where it's at on this upward trajectory. Not a dime of school given NIL money should go to football players in order for us to hope to get to 6-6, because that's where we are as a football program/school. As to your Frisco Bowl comment, 6-6 UNT gets to go to the Frisco Bowl. Cool. Guess what a 10-2 UNT is going to do? Go to the freaking Frisco Bowl. We have been caged up and there is nothing to be done about it outside of the courts and politicians getting involved, and that ain't happening.
