I am still working on mine if we don't get in this Alliance or CUSA; that is, if they stay separate.

Honestly, I think we evenually get in--sooner or later because I'd never understand how they could keep out such a huge footprint as the DFW Metroplex is. I mean come on now, where the heck are they having their Alliance meeting as it is?

Renew season tickets, buy one more if financially possible, tailgate every homegame, go to as many road games as possible, enjoy going to New Orleans, and look forward to conferene realignment talk annually.

I'll be disappointed somewhat. I'll still be at all the games and my support wont change, but we are trying to improve our program to move up, not to stay stagnant. I would like an explanation to what we are lacking (minus a consistent program which I truly feel is on the rise now), if anything, and what we need to work on. It'd be nice if RV could provide some kind of update?? Is this stealth recruiting?

I don't know Plum - I hear that we need to have a mens baseball team and that a baseball team is maybe two, three years out

- also heard that we need to have another sport for the girls and that bowling is now being considered.

I think this will happen but maybe down the road a bit.

I don't think anyone wants to keep us out now, but as one poster said we need to show some consistency and growth in our programs.

The only way I'd be fit to be tied if if somehow UTSA got in over us. Hopefully that's unlikely to happen. If we don't get in and LTU doesn't either I think there could be an opportunity to expand the Belt into divisions that may long term prove to be a benefit to us and a benefit in terms of increasing the Belt's strength and in terms of geographic sensibility that seems to be rare these days.

If you can't Join them, Then Beat them!

Get La tech and Utah State in the Belt and establish a Conference Championship Game...

I refuse to consider this possibility. I'm trying to stay as positive as I can. If it all goes horribly wrong, I'll be back to make a post. :thumbsup:

I'd be doing exactly as I am doing today...supporting the Mean Green as best I can. My support for UNT and the Mean green does not hinge on conference affiliation in any way whatsoever. never has...never will.

I'm pretty much resigned to the idea that FIU probably does get the nod simply to appease ECU/Marshall. This will absolutely disgust me, but at least the Belt will be rid of maybe the worst named university in the nation.

Ideally, the Big East would just friggin invite ECU. What does the Big East have against them?? Their football attendance, alone, should make this a no-brainer. I don't get it. With ECU out of CUSA, they could finally shift their footprint back west, inviting UNT & La Tech/UTSA/TSU. The Belt would then be able to continue it's shift eastward. Nearly everyone involved would be happy. We don't really belong in the Belt, geographically and ECU no longer fits in CUSA.

Either way, I'm prepared for the worst while hoping for the best. So, to answer the question, nothing changes for me in terms of supporting UNT...but another little piece of my hope in mankind's ability to make sound, logical decisions dies if we are left out.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/12/25)

      Get your rears to The Pit tomorrow! The ladies have a difficult opponent to face coming off their failed comeback in New Orleans the other night. South Florida is 11-6 but tied for a league-best 4-0 in AAC play. They were picked to win the conference last year but we beat them in our one meeting in Tampa. USF absolutely crushed Wichita State the other night in Kansas: 72-46. Tickets: https://meangreensports.evenue.net/event/WB24/WB10
