GCU is paying a $16 million entry fee to enter the WCC next summer.

That's insane to begin with.  My bet is GCU opts out of the WCC, asks the PAC for an invite, otherwise joins the MWC at only $3.5M.

makes you wonder if UNLV and AFA made the right choice staying in the MWC.

 

 UNLV could have taken have the exit fee and put the money on red................

I think the MWC made them all sign away their GOR this time too.   Locked them in like the ACC.

GCU has a lot of money and they are willing to invest in BB

 

It was a joke.   The MW is desperate for anyone at this point.

MWC going to give the PAC a run for its money. Good competition between two western leagues. It’s not the superior PAC over the MWC as easily anymore. The gap is smaller.

The PAC has the beast that is Gonzaga. And it’s the MWC has stout programs with New Mexico, UNLV, Nevada, Grand Canyon and UTEP. The Miners still have rep. 

I still think the last PAC school is sac state or Texas State. NMSU with an outside shot.

A PAC/MWC merger plus adding Gonzaga and GCU would have been the best outcome.   But none of the Conference-level staffs wanted to be purged out so they both played hardball.  These fringe additions like UTEP, NIU, Akron, Texas State, SAC St don't move the needle more.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
