Looking at that list, I'm thinking Sunbelt schools must've been approached but turned them down. Whether we were one of those approached I can't say, but UALR not being included anywhere so far in unbelieveable.

How did Drake only play 22 games?

These extra tourneys for college basketball just make me shake my head when I think about the lack of one for college football.

Check back in two weeks and tell me who won the CIT without having to google it. Tell me what TV stations are covering this illustrious event. Now tell me why we should pay tens of thousands of dollars to participate in it. Oh, yeah. I forgot. Idaho's passing us by!!!!!

Sometimes NOT buying into something like this is as much advancement for a program as playing in it.

Yeah...I would really hate for the Sun Belt to stoop to the level of the Missouri Valley, West Coast or Mid-American conference...

I don't have FCS. Had to look up what channel it is. Great exposure. Anyhoo, over on the Big West boards, Pacific got into the CIT. Here's what one fan had to say about it.

We got a few more details about the CIT today out of the Record. Fox College Sports will carry some of the games (the only one currently listed was the championship game) and there are floating seeds to cut down on costs for the teams. UOP paid $28,500 to host the CIT game. Each additional game hosted will cost an additional 28,500. This is only a fraction of the over $60,000 that the CBI costs but I am still a bit surprised that the Tigers agreed to pay the money to participate in this tourney. Winners don't receive any financial gain and with little exposure this tourney doesn't seem like it would do too much for the help of recruiting.

I don't know, last year Tulsa and Bradley seemed rather pleased with the whole deal(they were the finalists). And Tulsa's final victory celebration looked like they just won the NCAA's. Did either of those schools segue that into better things this year? I mean Bradley not so much, but Tulsa had a better regular season at least(they again missed out on the NCAA's, but got in the NIT this year). Maybe it was from new recruits...maybe it was from the expereience they gained winning a tournament, who can say.

They actually started the semis last night. Read the boxscore of Bradley's win after I finished watching the NIT.

I'm gonna miss basketball season.

      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.
