I doubt the PAC wants Air Force if they want to rebuild into a power conference. The service academies can be great G5 programs but there's virtually no way they ever develop into a true contender.
I do agree that the PAC does not have all the leverage until they get the 2 more needed to be a conference. If Memphis and Tulane have said no as is reported, it leaves us in a decent spot. For those thinking the AAC can build stronger with Memphis and Tulane, those 2 will leave for the ACC or Big12 the second they can and we won't be invited. You don't rebuild with programs looking to leave. Washington St and Oregon St know they're not getting a Big 12, ACC, or Big 10 invite as do the MWC teams. The new PAC figures to be more stable moving forward than the AAC.
Since 1995, when we moved up to FBS/ I-A, we are playing our 30th season. So far, we have had 6 seasons with a winning record.
That’s 20% success.
It hasn’t mattered what stadium we have played in, what conference we have played in, what coach we have, what AD/President we have, or what our funding has been. So the questions are what continue to be the roadblocks. Well, now the portal and NIL represent canyon-esque problems. So does the reputation of the entire program with TX HS coaches and parents…as well as the apathy/loathing of the program from within the university and Denton. Im not sure what can fix any of this, especially the nil/portal. It’s just hard to see this getting better when the entirety of talented players and coaches leave in the offseason for other places that pay more.
