Interesting take:

North Texas is a victim of their own success. After a while the lustyer wore off a program playing in the Sun Belt. The caviat on North Texas was yeah they won four conference championships but they play nobody. North Texas is a first class program, but the Sun Belt is not a first class conference. Even if your winning recruiting becomes difficult. Recruits after while would rather play in a better conference than against glorified 1-aa schools. No one is excited by the prospect of getting to play la-la, la-m, Middle tenn fau or fiu. Plus there is absolutely no television exposure in the belt. North Texas's fall was inevitable because of the shape of the belt./ However with a new stadium and athletic village on the way UNT will be able to leave the belt. There is nothing other than the Sun Belt stopping UNT from being a perenial top twenty five team. I think the same argument can be made for troy both schools deserve better.
