When we were in the Sun Belt, we have to get out of this conference. If our administration can not get it done, they need to go!

When we were in CUSA, we have to get out of this conference. If our administration can not get it done, they need to go!

And now, here we go again to the AAC. We have to get out of this conference. If our administration can not get it done, they need to go!

We've come a long way as an athletic school since we were in the Sun Belt, and a lot of that can be attributed to being in increasingly better conferences. Without the conference moves, we'd be in a very different position.

The repeated call to move from existing conferences to new ones is that new ones have always provided new opportunities and additional upside. If you're playing to win the game, you do everything you can to put yourself in the best position to succeed.

So, yes, we'll continue to pressure the school administration to get us into the best conference possible.

When we were 1-AA, we have to get out of this division

When we were independent, we have to get into any conference

Guess what -- each of those is correct.  And when/if we get to the 2PAC, the immediate plan should be looking for the next bigger better deal.

One thing to remember, in each move from Independent to Big West to Sunbelt to CUSA to AAC, in *every* case the teams we expected to play were on their way out.  So the EXACT SAME PLAN is working for everyone else.

When we were in the Sun Belt we were hardly ever on TV, Fouts was crumbling, and the conference revenue distribution was so sad it was comical.

When we were in CUSA, the top-tier teams left, Judy ran the bus into the ditch, revenues fell dramatically, and our games were on Facebook, beIN sports, and sometimes ESPN+ with amateurs running the broadcast.

And now we're in the AAC... with the top-tier teams leaving again, the next media deal estimated to be lower than it is now, and an opportunity to join a storied 100+ year PAC 12 conference that want's to be the best of the rest.

We should not apologize for demanding more from our school's administration and coaches.

So are you saying we should be content and not want to go to a conference that has a history of being a P5 conference?

Well its a G6 conference now, and forever will be,and we should only go if the financial numbers work. However we need to be invited first,and if UTSA is instead it just proves our presence in the Metroplex is invisable and means nothing.

With Pernetti’s visit today it looks like we are dug into the AAC. Let’s make the best of it. UTSA may go away and it’s time to get reacquainted with Texas State. I’m down.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Again, we have an athletic budget $10 to $16 million more than those other schools we've mentioned. Why can they afford baseball but we can't? Do we offer sports they don't? Something isn't adding up. For what it's worth regarding revenue vs non-revenue sport, ECU's stadium seats 6,000 and it's highest reported capacity was just over that against NC State this year. The stadium reportedly cost $11 million in 2005 so probably would be double today. I know ECU gets great support but that just shows the opportunity is there. Would a baseball stadium that seats 4k not yield a higher return on investment than say a new $50+ million basketball arena when we average around 4k in our current basketball arena?

      Honest tactical question here…

      We hired a coach that runs the Mike Leach run and gun offense.The concept is score fast which puts the defense on the field for a lot of the game. We knew this when we hired him so why are we surprised that this is what he is doing? The problem is that we have a shit defense to begin with, and when we go 3 and out they don't have time have a brief rest between possessions . If he can fix the defense net season we should be okay. If not make a another coaching change that based upon our history will change nothing.

      I ABSOLUTELY agree! We had 77 new players, but most were freshmen. You can’t win with freshmen. They leaned too much on this IMO. It’ll take a good 2.5-3 years for them to hit their stride. By that time…hello portal.

      Flyover?

      They saw the stadium and thought the game was cancelled coz of all the empty seats.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      On the other side there is no reason to think we can compete in baseball. Its a financial drain that starts with the construction of a venue ,which I will ballpark [pun intended] the cost at at about $15 million which we don't have. Then the cost of staffing, scholarships ,travel ,Title 9 additions, etc. , all for adding an expensive non revenue generating sport seems irresponsible.
