Of course, Boise's leaving would make it much more likely to be an option.

Exactly... I know that this Boise announcement just let the air out of a few balloons in the Bobcat camp. We have been a topic of discussion on their board for the past month or so.

I don't think Boise staying in the WAC hurts our chances at getting picked up. The Pac 10 has been playing with 10 teams for a long time. Why couldn't the WAC? They do still want us, don't they?

Is this the MWC thinking the grass might be greener with the remains of the Big 12?

Why would a former Big 12 drop to MWC. TCU and BYU/UTAH would jump ship before Iowa State landed in the Mountains.

I see. When is SWTSU scheduled to make the jump to FBS?

They wanted us without losing Boise. I'm sure if we wanted to travel west hard enough, they would let us in.

Edit: Especially if it came down to SWTSUSM, or us.

The Big 12 leftovers would only join the MWC if their conference officially dissolved and they had no other BCS options.

Or, are the leftovers, say Baylor, Kansas, KSU, & Iowa State still legally considered the Big 12 and can they then invite replacements? Can they invite BYU, Utah, TCU, Colo. St, Air Force, etc. to join and become the "new" Big 12 and gain BCS identity? :blink:

See, that's what I was wondering myself. And they'd get to keep their championship shares, wouldn't they?

UNTFLYER, I think Arkstfan addressed this in a different segment. I think he said that if there were only four teams left in a conference they did not get to keep the money from the departing schools or keep the money earned previously by the departing schools. I believe he said that the money and shares would go with the departing schools.

Going to the MWC would only be beneficial if the NCAA grantee them a bowl birth.

Right after NTSU jumps to CUSA.

I say SWTXSTU-SM and UTSA needs us a hell of a lot more than anyone thinks. They can go it alone in the WAC if they want, but a move up without North Texas or the other FCS school and I think it may be a disaster.

Also, the WAC is more than ready to let La Tech leave to the East. Why would they want to add 1 Texas team at the FCS level? It's going to take a combo of FCS teams or 1 FCS team along with UNT to make that work for the WAC. They'd be taking a huge hit, letting new no-name teams into the league.

It seems as if they don't consider themselves no name. No one who's never stepped foot in texas has heard of SWTXSUSM.

Adding a plethora of Div1-AA schools just gives Boise more fodder to crash the BCS party year in and year out.

The NCAA doesn't do that.

Well BCS, Congress, the Monday Morning QB, who cares. The point is to guarantee your team money it would be wise to have BIG 12* next to your school than MWC.

      Not a bad hire. Didn't mean to imply that.

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
