Well 'IF' we were to receive a invite....AAC can blame themselves for the crummy money deal they gave us. With that said assuming the invite paid better immediately.

The AAC didn't have a choice, ESPN arranged the terms to avoid changing the media deal. The AAC could have taken less teams, but everyone would have gotten a haircut, and judging by the teams they lost it could have been significant. Our deal at least ramps up to match the legacy teams as time goes on.

As the time goes on...10 years?? I'm not advocating either way. But money today is better than tomorrow. It's all speculation anyway.

No, I was talking about you saying "AAC can blame themselves for the crummy money deal they gave us." The AAC didn't choose the terms, ESPN told them what to do and would not give an additional 3 full shares. I'm just clarifying that it's not the AAC's choice on how the terms were made.

Except heading east is a lot better than heading west.  Heading west means later game times and that means less exposure.  We have a lot of schools in the AAC which are close by.  That would change in the Pac12

You're not seeing the big picture. Whether we move or not, things will change. A lot of AAC schools close by? If UTSA, Tulane, and Memphis leave, who's left? Tulsa and Rice. Now how many AAC schools are close by? That's it. Two schools. So what are the options: join 3 of the close AAC schools in the PAC or stay with 2 of the close AAC schools in the AAC. My choice is easy. Seems we'll be left in the wind though. More visibility? I guess. Nobody is watching us as is. More money will allow us to keep developing the football program or maybe even start the baseball program to join an Oregon State baseball program who's made all but 3 NCAA tournaments since 2005.

Yea..I saw UTSA was third on the list behind Memphis and Tulane. There's so much cannon fodder out there...

One reason given be one pod caster that UTSA is preferred over UNT is that while their football program has been trending up ours has not. With UNT you get what you get.

They will revisit this trend at the end of the year.  If Traylor is smart, he goes where offered and utsa is just another ut-??.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
