"So if Gill believes bringing former Lawrence High and KU football player Clint Bowen back to Lawrence strengthens his staff, he’ll do it. After losing his job along with the rest of Mangino’s staff, Bowen served a year as defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky and now holds the same position at North Texas.

Bowen’s personality makes him a great recruiter — he recruited a Miss Kansas winner, the former Kristie Knox, to be his wife — and he would believe everything he said to a recruit about KU being a great place to go to school and play football. With all the experience he has coaching defense, handling linebackers would not be a problem for Bowen, even though most of his position-coaching experience has been in the secondary."

Guess we should pull for the Kansas defense to play well this season. How much does North Texas pay Bowen, and how much does the D.C. make at Kansas? Not close is it?

Well, this writer wasn't pushing for Bowen to come in as KU's DC, but as LBs coach. Not to worry, they've already filled the position--Vantz Singletary is KU's new LBs coach.

Why do so many clamor for a former player to come back and coach, either as an assistant or head coach. It has NOT worked more times that it has. Good intentions, but it is hard for either party to be objective when tough decisions need to made (loyalty issues, personal feelings, etc)in order for the program to be a success.

      Memphis, Tulane, USF Turn Down 2PAC....Staying in AAC

      If the MWC folds, the PAC doesn't have to pay a dime. The PAC would then take the allotted $110M+ funds that were designated for the MWC schools and use those funds to pay the AAC exit fees for Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA. Why? Because these schools are at the top of their wishlist and help maximize the next TV deal due to their brands and TV market size. The networks interested in the new PAC are The CW (national broadcast), TNT (cable), and Amazon/Apple (streaming). The CW is already involved with the PAC TNT is expanding into college football after losing their longstanding NBA TV deal The last thing we need to do is raid the MWC so it folds on itself. Regarding your idea: This would grow the AAC to an 18 team football conference. If you're concerned about 12 teams in the PAC being too many mouths to feed, how can you justify 18 teams in the AAC? AF, Nevada, and UNM/Wyoming won't jump to the AAC for half-share distribution because they'll make less than what they're currently making now in the MWC. Add in the additional travel costs and it makes even less financial sense for them to jump conferences at half-share distribution.

      I'm not a lawyer, but something like that seems ripe for a lawsuit. Colluding behind the other team's backs and doing real monetary harm to those left out sounds like something you could see being a court case. All you would need is access to their emails and messages by lawyers and you would be able to prove they did this intentionally.
