This article is written by Matt "Mad Dog" McCombs. As the 20-20 is currently in between blog entries, I wanted to take a second and address some of the feedback from the last two articles.

Newcomers to the 20-20 or gomeangreen.com may have noticed a microcosm of one of the classic GMG debates taking place in the forum thread attached to Part II of The Story So Far. There exists a lingering tension, found here, but also characteristic of most fan communities, between eternal optimists and bottom-line realists. The truth (which the 20-20 is dedicated to reflecting) is they are both great fans, who, by the very nature of arguing about UNT football on a message board, have pretty well labeled themselves as active participants in the process. But, passion and sports are inextricably intertwined, so there’s a natural tendency to get overworked and see the other side as “what’s wrong” with UNT athletics instead of just seeing a partner with different view.

      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.
