I don't subscribe to the DMN, but it's fairly simple.
SMU is located 4 miles from downtown Dallas & the DMN
TCU is in Ft Worth, 32 miles from downtown Dallas & the DMN
UNT is in Denton, 40 miles from downtown Dallas & the DMN
I really don't see Toledo and NIU leaving the MAC....for a bunch of games in the Mountain and Pacific and Hawaii time zones.
But......they might be tired of Tuesday-Wednesday night football games every November.
The biggest programs in college football hire guys like this as analysts. There's no such thing as being "good on offense." Bring him in and have him do nothing but scout the defenses of Memphis, Tulane, and Army so the top decision makers can gain as much knowledge on those opponents and game plan appropriately. Don't need him to coach, don't need him on the field. Just game plan.
If somebody gets hired away this offseason, he's here to promote if needed.
DFW area football culture is front running. As the sports culture in general. People forget the only reason that meat gazing owner could afford to buy the team was that it was losing money. Not having a losing season for a decade was not enough to keep a few home games being blacked out locally because they sucked.
So there is some hostility among UNT alumni towards a program that never wins big. And a lot of them don't understand how CFB works. I am sure the AD would love to have a out of conference schedule rotation of playing Texas Tech, Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, OSU, Houston, Arkansas one those 7 teams every year. And they probably would settle an away and "neutral field" (at Jerry World) arrangements with Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and A&M. Those "blue bloods" don't want to do that because eventually they will lose a game and maybe some team depth to us via transfer portal later as fallout. You see a guy like Morris having fun lighting up the scoreboard against your team while you are 3rd string at Big Stuff U watching thinking "coming out of high school I was better than him", the step down doesn't seem so far to get playing time.
