A retro Flying Worm basketball uniform would be cool! Yes, I remember it as a Drake head coach said after we beat his good team that coming to Denton and playing North Texas was like playing in a "snake pit" I think some students after that started throwing rubber snakes on the floor during games to intimidate opponents, lol. Here is the reference... "Before being named for Bahnsen in 2005, the gym was simply called the Men’s Gym. However, the “Snake Pit” caught on as a popular nickname. There are many rumors of its origin, but much of the credit of coining the name goes to former Drake University head coach Maury John, according to meangreensports.com. “This is the worst d--- place in the world to play basketball,” John said after a game against UNT. “This place is a snake pit.” The name caught on quick. Students would bring fake snakes – some stories even claim they brought real ones – to games following John’s statement. The moniker lasted to the stadium’s retirement from NCAA basketball." https://www.ntdaily.com/sports/bahnsen-gym-holds-key-spot-in-unt-basketballs-history/article_84617a0b-5971-5638-a84c-782e592af4ff.html -

It's not being "too cheap". It's not wanting to give $$ to a random guy in a dark trench coat saying it will be given to some random player. It's similar to believing a poster named "Deep Throte". ....but I do think you know what's really going on, so I do believe you, lol. -

Power Conferences making their move to take full control
If that was the case, it would be the Big 10 and SEC are trying to take management of the postseason. Also the Big 12 media contract is worth almost $3 billion. Can that change in the future? Sure but as of now, there are 4 Power Conferences. If there wasn't a difference between the Big 12, ACC and AAC, Memphis, USF, Tulane and Rice wouldn't be so desperate to leave.- 1

They want to exclude us and others. Great. We and others need a framework for competing independently of them. I look forward to it. Who’s working on it? -

Should we add Texas State to the AAC?
Agree, I see them topping out at maybe $10M per team, and wouldn't be surprised to see $7m-8m. I don't think the extra travel is worth it at that point for Memphis and Tulane.
