Yep.. only way UNT is a shoe in to CUSA is if SMU leaves...

Is there any way for the CUSA to justify having a hole in the DFW area in their coverage map when it is in the middle of their conference? No way they lose the DFW market when they are already concerned about losing both the Raleigh/Durham, Orlando and Houston markets. The problem is that SMU has no real incentive to leave.

very true... though I would still state that the MWC is one notch above CUSA at this point. So how can we get SMUt to bounce?

I disagree. SMU is not as powerful as some people would like to believe, especially with all the talk of realignment. SMU is surely chomping at the bit to leave so their opposition will not be quite as relevant.

The problem is that SMU offers the same thing UNT offers as far as media goes. Once that chip is used up UNT really makes no sense. Why overlap programs in the same market?

If Houston leaves, then I would wonder about SMU's desire to keep us out.

It will be interesting to see who the MWC feels should get the invite should one come to a DFW school - SMU or UNT. They have relationships with both of us, more with SMU but you cannot ignore UNT's investment over the past few years (all around - not just a coach).

USC/UCLA - Same market. Seems to work.

I've never heard anyone from Duke complain about sharing a conference with North Carolina

But Wake and NC State must piss them off to no end.

North Carolina/NC State/Duke are all in the Raleigh-Durham market. Utah and BYU were in the same market and conference for many years.

The times they are a-changin'...the problem that SMU will have with UNT from now on and in the future is that UNT's overlap is much larger than SMU's over-lap. That 1939 national championship will hardly matter with today's conference leaders and moguls although it worked quite well for the Stangs in the past. NOTE: SMU will still not sponsor us or buy tickets from any of us for the church raffle, either. It's just "their" history that will only change with some future new SMU president who will see the total unadulterated non-sense of their past condescension with us--then that is when things will change with SMU's attitude toward UNT..

I defer to this list below once more (others may want to add other positive benefits I left off this partial list):

(1) North Texas just brings far more to the table with a larger fan base,

(2) UNT with an enrollment that all but quadruples SMU's

(3) Approx. twice as many UNT students now living on/near campus than SMU and TCU's combined enrollments.

(4) With close to 100,000 NT Exes in the DFW Metroplex, we dwarf SMU's alumnus numbers

(5) Our football stadium and basketball facility combo? Finally, no comparison with SMU'sFord and Moody

(6) Easy major airport access from either DFW Airport (25 minutes from Denton) or even Alliance Airport (15 minutes from Denton City Limits sign out near SUMG's house)!

(7) Big Mac Attack On The Way At The New Mean Green Stadium (with I hope a Chico style offense run by Chico the Man himself as Asst. HFC/OC--this could really be a win-win for all & I hope Coach Mac offers it & Coach C accepts)!.

Anyone else notice most of the SMU fans and the UTEP fans DON'T want to leave CUSA for the new MWC? Between the old MWC and CUSA, the MWC is better and closer to BCS AQ status. The new MWC is almost the WAC before they went to 16 and UTEP doesn't want back in that.

Hopefully the MWC invites a Texas school and CUSA needs a replacement as that is the better conference for NT the way the teams are configured now.

      First College Net Rankings released

      Nobody is putting Utah State 25 spots in front of UConn, it's not a poll ranking. It's just computer metrics, really not that deep. That said, there's a great website that shows you how every poll voter voted. It includes graphs and even highlights extreme picks when they put a team 5 or more spots away from their poll ranking. Several journalists voted USU in the top 25 along with UConn and Dayton both unranked. Who knows what their actual gap would be if those journalists ranked to 40. Below is the website. Click on a team to see that team's week-by-week ranking via graph, then scroll down to see where each journalist ranked that team. You can click on that journalist's name to see how they voted. I have fun on the website and hope you enjoy it as well! https://collegepolltracker.com/basketball/2024/week-5

      First College Net Rankings released

      let's try to get this thing back on the rails... Evansville (269) Minnesota (155) McNeese (75) Oregon State (49) Northern Iowa (167) Utah State (14) High Point (190) MVSU (364...literally dead last) App State (199) Houston Christian (347) I know it really showed through this year, but the next step in this program is clearly upping the non-con scheduling...especially if half the AAC teams are gonna be dragging down our NET rankings. I know the SEC/ACC; Big 12/Big East challenges are TV/ESPN driven, but it'd be incredible if the AAC could have a similar set up with another solid basketball conference like the A-10, WCC, MVC, MWC...surely ESPNU would chip in a turkey sandwich for that, right? anyone know if that McNeese game is a home/home? if they can keep these levels, that'd be a great add on the regular.

      You’re the poster child—as a fan, as a school—that is wrong with the current college football world. Congrats, trust fund kid. Your world seems so easy and fun to those of us who have worked our entire lives and support an Alma Mater that has no ability to compete in the current landscape. Yall can simply buy away our players and coaches. Thats garbage. Enjoy your team and your season. Seriously, never thought CFB would create a system ever again that your type of program could ascend in. You did it.
