Georgia Southern vs Sam Houston State

 

How far we have fallen!

I wouldn't bash Sam Houston St too much. There's a good chance our defense has a bunch of their guys next year.

its all about leadership at the University President and BOR level. Both schools have committed to moving up, while UNT is fine with status quo, decades of apathy can not be changed without help from the top levels.

No, no!  I'm not bashing them at all.  I'm just saying that they have a coaching staff that has moved Sam Houston St upward in a short period of time.

Aw that makes sense. Disregard my last comment.

Why would you think NT is fine with the status-quo?

You can't spend money you don't have, and NT is spending about as much of the students as permitted. 

Is NT doing everything reasonable they can to raise more funds and move up in the athletics arms race?  I don't know and I doubt you do.

UNT has moved up conferences 2 times in the last 20 years. Also if status quo was fine, Seth Littrell would still be your coach.

No, they "had" a coaching staff.   They are all leaving.   That's the way the coaching system is, win and get a promotion...unless you're Seth and turn it down.

True, they "had" a coaching staff.  Not long ago Sam Houston ran with the likes of Abilene Christian, Lamar, and similar Div 2 programs.  Was this their first year in FBS football?

Yes.

"Sam Houston State University's (SHSU) football team has been in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) since July 1, 2023. The Bearkats joined Conference USA (CUSA) on that date after playing in the Southland Conference for 34 years and the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) for two years."

I rest my case.

At the G5 level, it's all about finding the right coaches who can rebuild yearly now with the Portal and hit on a few high school recruits.   

If some players do well, they are probably gone to a P4 next year.  If the team does really well, the coach is probably also gone. 

It's a terrible era to be a fan right now.   Fans stay but admins, players and coaches are constantly looking for promotions out.

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
