Listening to Craig Way on the radio today (1300 the Zone, Austin, TX) he interviewed John Jenkins, head coach of "Team Texas". It's one of the teams in a new football league. I don't know much about it. I think it may be some kind of developmental league. I'm pretty sure he said Don McGee was going to play for them. I was only half way paying attention, but my ears perked up when I heard, "Don McGee from North Texas". I found nothing on their official web site but I'm sure my ears did not decieve me.

Then again the voices in my head told me...oops wrong board.

GO DON !!!!!!!!!

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's true. Don called me last week to tell me he was protected by Dallas from the upcoming draft. As a side note, Johnny Quinn was also protected before he signed with Green Bay.

The All-American League is a new professional league.

It is not a development league, rather a new "professional" league for college players who weren't picked up by the NFL.

What do you mean by "protected by Dallas from the upcoming draft?"

When I first read the thread, I was thinking of the All American Football Conference. That's where the Browns, 49ers and Colts came from. But, these guys are just recycling the name. They are here on the web. Looking at the "Texas" team I'm a bit insulted at their promotion, "Be a part of the crowd for the National TV broadcast of the draft as we select players from UT, A&M, Houston, Rice, Texas Tech and all of the other colleges in Texas and around the country!" They appear to want our players but not want to mention our name!

It appears it is legit..

Also, note this tidbit:

"John Quinn singed with an NFL team so he is no longer on the list. Congrats to John."

I didn't know he could sing as well.. interesting.

I wish Booger would get into this league. I hear he is back in Terrell doing "work." I asked, "like what?" This person who knows/knew him said, "well, there are no 'good' jobs in Terrell."

That could be huge for our players it will give guys another place to display their skills past college and hopefully get noticed by NFL scouts. I hope the league makes it the NFL need a developmental league and this could serve as that. The have financial backing hopefully they can pull it off.

Their draft is today ( Sat. ) at 11:00 AM on your local computer at AAFL.com. Players must be college graduates not just former players.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
