Instead of the SBC and WAC talking why wouldn't our conference be talking to the MAC? Say what you want to say about the MAC but it is a very decent conference and the best part about it is that it is and has always been pretty stable. Plus you would be in really good recruiting areas in football, basketball and even baseball in the midwest and the south and southeast..

"The Sun Belt can solidify its national hold by adding teams in Texas and California."

Huh? The article makes it sounds like the Sun Belt doesn't have any team in Texas. San Jose State? Lots of name power there that would just fill Apogee to its limits. Wow. Just wow.

Reading that gave me a headache. That's an example of how not to write an article. Why should we basically save the WAC? Hell no! The Sun Belt as it is works and doesn't need to expand with SJSU or any WAC school just for the hell of it. Does he even know that NT is in the Sun Belt cause I guess we don't count as being in Texas or in a major market. Idiot

I'm probably being too harsh but I am mad I just read that.

Ignoring the original article for a second. This all stemmed from a report out of the AD conference in Dallas that SJSU is looking for a home in the Sun Belt. If accurate, that means they're convinced the WAC is no longer an option (ie. it's dead).

Putting two and two together here, or trying anyway. Craig Thompson (MWC commish) has said that the MWC will likely need to expand to 12 teams for the merger to work. If SJSU is looking for a home, it means they've been told they're not it. For multiple reasons, the MWC would not be looking at CUSA schools to go to 12. At that point, it likely comes down to whether or not TCU decides, or is even able, to move to the Big East. If not, then the MWC seems like it would pick up Utah State and call it a day.

If TCU does leave, then you've gotta believe at that point that it would be down to UNT and Northern Illinois for #12. There's not a chance in hell they pass up SJSU to take Idaho, NMSU, or La Tech. To say all of this is conjecture is putting it lightly, but fun at 1:30 AM. :lol:

I like the idea of teaming up with the MAC. I was thinking about it on the drive into work this morning. I think it would work out wonderfully. The MAC is a conference that is on par or a little above the Belt.

Doesn't it make more sense for the WAC and MWC...then the SBC and CUSA and MAC team up?

Travel costs and all...

This should be an interesting weekend for SBC vs CUSA.

The year will be...let's call it 2015. SJSU will fall under the pressure of continued state budget cuts, drop football like every other CSU school did in the early 90s recession, and come knocking back on the doors of the Big West, where it will be welcomed home with open arms, the prodigal son returns. All this talk of it joining the Sun Belt could not possibly be anything more than bong rip induced conjecture.

The conferences will not play each other during the season but will have the winner of each play each other at the end of the season.

i think the belt is going to sit tight and see if big east picks up ecu and/or ucf. if so, then cusa would probably go after wk and/ or mtsu to keep marshall happy,or perhaps even one of our florida schools to maintain a presence in that state. the only schools that interest me are texas st. and utsa. since my freshman year of 61' the only intra state rival we have had was uta until they dropped football.i really would to see us develope one before i die.

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
