I am truly hoping that the weight of our Basketball Team and other sports is remembered in the deciding factors of the Conference considering UNT for stepping up to bat....I love our football program but I just don't want it to be the only thing gauged.

I have heard the "Memphis to the Big East this week" so many times! I suspect eventually it will be true just as eventually an asteroid will strike the Earth. It someone is willing to go on record saying it will happen I am not going to hold me breath waiting. It could be "this week" or next week could be "this week" or five years from now could hold "this week."

A conference championship in basketball this year won't do it. We have got to win the first game in the big dance, because until then we are really only taken serious by ourselves. Unfortunately, football is the measuring stick, i.e. Kansas and the sweating that Bill Self was going through when he thought Kansas might be left out on the prairies of Kansas in the Big 12 circus.

This could be huge with Rawlins and Neinas on our side. GMG.

Might be wishful thinking on my part but I don't necessarily think SMU would be a hindrance...we had a good fan showing at the last football game there and it certainly lowers their travel costs to play games in Denton. Frankly I don't see a reason why any of the Texas based CUSA teams would not want this...if they want to have a hope of bustin the BCS they will need some big public schools in the mix.

If you look at the beautiful stadium we are building, the size of the school, the breadth of academic programs...it's hard to see why we wouldn't be attractive. Name another candidate in the mix that has more to offer!

I read (and sometimes hear) negative comments about adding a Texas school to CUSA from fans and message board posters of the present CUSA schools. But when the administrators of the schools are quoted, they are always in favor of a more compact, less travel intensive conference with rivals within driving distance. The administrators make membership the decisions which gives us a chance, but they still don't want to offend too many donors too badly.

Always keep in mind any decision an administrator makes is going to offend some donors and program supporters.

I want to believe UNT would get a fair shot at an opening but I'm not sure we will. This would be a replacement for Memphis, an East Division school. I can't see Smut, Tulsa, and Rice voting to let UNT into CUSA/West Division and push their Private school friend Tulane away to the Eastern Division.
