UCF i think will be invited to join the Big East which would be awesome for UNT.... even better would be Houston to the Big East but i just dont see that happening....

UH is the leading choice due to a much larger TV market. Their is still some infighting in the BE with some members favoring an eastern school. TCU needs a travel partner and UH fits that bill. Combine a larger TV market, new FB stadium and rennovated BB arena, with a larger recruiting base and UH looks solid. Don't forget, USF does not want UCF in the BE.

Dont think they have a new football stadium....don't think they even have the money...they will be lucky to have one in another 4-5 years.

I don't know which they'll choose because there are several factors. Houston has the larger TV market by about 600,000hh but they would have to share some of that with Rice (if only Houston teams are considered) whereas UCF has the Orlando market alone. UCF has the larger facilities; 12,000 more seats in their football stadium and a couple of thousand more in their basketball arena. South Florida also needs a travel partner and UCF would fill that bill. Florida is almost as fertile a recruiting ground as Texas with three less state schools for competition. Houston has had the stronger teams in the past but UCF won CUSA last year and has shown a lot of improvement. It's just too close to call.

However, when the Big East goes to 12 teams then I believe that whichever is not selected on the first increase will be selected on the second (assuming that TCU is still a part of the Big East).

By the way, Fort Worth is going to have to change their sobriquet from "Where the West Begins" to "Where the East Leaves Off."

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG

      RECAP: No. 21 Memphis wins scrappy battle over North Texas

      Memphis shot 55% overall and 38% on 3-pointers. It also recorded 16 forced turnovers, 8 steals, 7 assists, 4 offensive rebounds and 3 blocks. The game saw six lead changes and four ties, but the Tigers still remained ahead for more than 24 minutes. Ross Hodges’ team (10-4, 1-1 AAC) shot 43% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. It also outrebounded Memphis 30-21 while racking up 15 forced turnovers, 12 offensive rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Brenen Lorient (18), Moulaye Sissoko (17), Jasper Floyd (11) and Rondel Walker (10) scored double-figure points for the Mean Green. Here are some takeaways from Memphis’ AAC home opener. read more: https://bluffcitymedia.co/recap-no-21-memphis-wins-scrappy-battle-over-north-texas/?amp=1
