I'll continue the other conversation here. Yes, Memphis, USF, and Tulane want P4 status when the ACC collapses. They are positioned to fill-in the ACC in various ways but especially geographicall

UNT doesn't have the political pull to do that.

You honestly don’t think Brint Ryan has those kinds of connections? He may choose to not use them, but I promise you he has plenty of ears to bend. Abbott and Patrick are small time compared to calls

Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina: just send us one big beautiful fee. 
ACC: get Tulane South Florida and Rice on the phone. 

It’s happening. Just keep winning Mean Green and we are golden.

lol.  It isn't gonna be Rice.  Tulane and USF are intriguing, however.

Sources told ESPN that there'd just be one number to exit the league, not the combination of a traditional exit fee and the loss of media from the grant of rights.

"sources".  Gee I wonder if they were from Tallahassee FL or Clemson SC?!

GOR is absolutely the lynchpin.  I'm sure FSU/Clemson will argue otherwise but we'll see ya in court again in 2030 if that's the case.

It does appear that they plan to take it to court.  I do not think an extended courtroom fight benefits anyone. They will ultimately settle.

"The specific financial figures for schools to get released from the grant of rights were not readily available. But the total cost to exit the league after the 2029-30 season is expected to drop below $100 million, sources said.“

Why not Rice?  Private school in a large city with a rich history in college sports.  Rice would fit with a lot of the other private schools in that conference.  Sure they haven't been great at sports of late, however they could turn it around if they wanted to.

Rice has demonstrated over and over again that they will never commit to "wanting" to.  They are fine with who they are: stumbling into a championship once ever decade or so.

I've been very disappointed with Rice in both CUSA and the AAC. 

They were once a National Power in the 1950's.  It's the reason they built their massive 72,000 seat stadium...they used to have crowds to fill it.  Now, they are milk toast.   Barely competitive in anything...but they do have baseball...so props for that!

Settlement is done and signed today by all parties.

Here is the good part....

"Both schools filed lawsuits against the ACC in their home states challenging the grant of rights agreement, that, according to Florida State's attorneys, could have meant paying as much as $700 million to leave the conference. The ACC sued both schools to preserve the grant of rights agreement through 2036.

As a result of the settlement, the penalty to leave the conference has been significantly reduced. The grant of rights remains in place through 2036, but beginning next year, the exit fee will be $165 million. That fee then declines by $18 million per year, leveling at $75 million in 2030-31. Any team that pays the exit fee can leave with its media rights intact."

      Wichita State (3/3/25)

      I understand not using a timeout early in a game or half. I think we had 3 timeouts remaining with like under 4 minutes left in the game. We got tied up and lost the ball on the possession arrow. It was after some other turnovers and it was frustrating not to retain a possession there. Possessions in our slow offense, in a close contest, are huge to keep.

      Softball: Baylor Invitational, Waco, TX (2/28-3/2/2025)

      Sadly with NIL hitting softball, too, not sure when we'll ever see another pitcher as dominant as Hope Troutwein or power hitter like Kailey Gamble suit up for the Mean Green. So far Rodney is managing quite well.

      UNT Announces Construction of New Softball Clubhouse

      Took in Baylor's Gettleman Stadium for three games of the softball tournament this past weekend and got me thinking about the future of Lovelace. The annual progress is evident. Most recent upgrades include green lighting and a new video board. But I am especially excited to see the clubhouse and right field patio. It will be a nice touch to a stadium that still feels like a youth complex when you walk in, and is full of temporary structures - the metal bleachers, pressbox, and detached bullpens. I am also excited to think about what Phase 3 - the grandstand - will look like. With TCU and SMU not fielding D1 softball teams, UNT has a prime opportunity to be the biggest softball show in the Metroplex. Baylor was only the third opposing softball stadium I've visited, and while it's no Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas (a really fabulous ballpark) it serves its purpose. It seats about 1,200 fans compared to our 450. A third of that is chairbacks. The other 800 bleacher seats are divided four sections of roughly 200 - two on each side. With our new grandstand, I think taking off a section on both sides - having chairbacks behind home plate and a section of ~200 bleacher seats behind each dugout would be great. This would put seating capacity around 800 and allow crowds to grow beyond friends and family. The Maniacs could start coming out and you could sell group tickets to the countless number of schools in the area that currently feature a Mean Green player.
