Proud to share a league with America’s finest. Welcoming Army to the AAC this special week is wonderful.

Good upgrade, especially considering fan support and national following. In football Army has twice as many bowl victories as SMU this century, and in basketball it's relatively a wash as neither school has won a NCAA tournament game this century.

If we're sticking with the American I'd still like to see some aggressive expansion plans to stay relevant. I'd like to see some non-football options like Dayton, VCU, Richmond get some consideration.

Weren't there rumors that VCU was gonna be added...along with Army? I thought they turned us down. I'm not sure the A10 schools would consider AAC an upgrade. I think they're all A10?

From the latest info I can find, the A-10's renewed media deal gives a 40% increased payout, but it looks like the old number was only like $350-400K per school so the American would be a good step up there. Plus adding schools like that would bring more regional rivals for schools like Temple, who probably wish they were in the Big East after all the AAC departures.

Other than that, the AAC admittedly doesn't offer much else, with its lack of history/prestige and rivalries. I'm still hoping UNT makes the cut for a new 12-16-team Pac-12 with OSU/WSU and best of the rest of the MWC/AAC, hopefully with UTSA and Rice.

Richmond plays FCS football. They wouldn't take a Olympic sports only invite.

Dayton plays non-scholarship FCS football which is already a money pit, I doubt they would take Olympic invite only either.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      Not sure what we are lol'ing about. He is a productive and versatile player that can spot play in a lot of roles. He will do well at UTEP.

      Rice (1/8/25)

      Good dominating win, honestly I expected a little more from Rice, but it was an excellent way to rebound from the Memphis loss. Also UNT went from 70 to 60 in the NET, thats a huge jump at this point in the season, and I can't figure out why a Q3 win at home cause that.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      Porter played hard and he played hurt. And when our scheme and offensive line opened huge holes, he ran through them really fast. Porter played running back like a walk-on wide receiver. As far as elusiveness and power, he was lacking. Lol to UTEP for giving him a scholarship, but I hope he does well there. And I expect that just like last year, we will have plenty of guys on our roster way better than him to start the season.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      I posted this in the game thread, but it fits better here: Dominating win in front of a tiny sleeping crowd in a canvas of a facility. Love the win. Hate the aesthetics. Easily the worst attended game/atmosphere I have watched on TV save for Grambling at TX Southern the other night. Yay. UNT has to do better at treating every game in "revenue" sports as if it's the Wyoming at North Texas football game. Frankly, it's teetering on downright embarrassment. Fix the attendance. I get that our alum, students, and fans are clearly a part of the problem. We have always been a huge part of the problem. But the athletic department has shown the ability to market and boost attendance when they feel like it(?). They seemingly don't do much do market this success, these athletes or this coaching staff. And the result of that is the nightmare TV environment we witnessed last night.

      Understood. I'm sure stuff can be done on a smaller scale for us while we build up. Some of this stuff like transparency costs nothing. I've mentioned before having a live count of subscribers posted on the Light the Tower website. Doubt that would be hard to do... just brainstorming. Those in charge should be brainstorming but it seems they're just sitting on their hands.
