We're never leaving the SunBelt.

Is this a bit or where exactly are you getting that from this podcast? Evan and I were in the interview and we didn't get that at all.

Not an indictment on the podcast or the job you guys did (which I thought was great) but that's what I took from it.

There was a lot of PC, don't rock the boat talk in there. Think we're just playing it close to the vest here.

After seeing your post, I went back and listened to it today, and I didn't get that feeling either.......

I was rather positive on our future when we were finished.....

We do appreciate the comments....

All I got out of it is that good things are happening and fill the stadjum and the pit.

Love the state of the union every time we get it.

I didn't interpret it that way either. What could RV say? He's not about to make or leak the first announcement of something that hasn't officially been decided. He just can comment on where we are now. As I recall he intimated that we'd be upgraded ten years from now. That also doesn't mean that it couldn't be ten days or ten months. When, and if, there's a change it won't be Rick's place to announce it. It will come from the conference and be confirmed by President Rawlins.

Start listening at the 52:50 mark...sounds to me like we're moving. He's talking about filling the stadiums and making kids (players) in the metroplex take notice, thinking it's "ok to come here"..so that enables us to recruit more Tony Mitchells. He goes on to say, "then you get some movement and things change about your surroundings and kids will have another inclination to come here". All of this in the context of UNT slowly building up, getting better fan support, enabling better recruiting, etc.

Obviously, "movement in our surroundings" is a reference to our conference mates of the future. In this context, it just wouldn't make sense that that movement might be UTSA and/or TxSt and/or LaTech/etc joining the Sun Belt with us. Since he is talking about UNT building UP and increasing in stature, it has to be a reference to us stepping UP in terms of conference affiliation.

The talk towards the beginning of the podcast was more guarded. From listening to this podcast in it's entirety, it'd be hard to say that it's definitely "in the bag" that we'll be moving, but it sure sounds like things are pointing strongly to that if things stay the way they are now. Granted, that's something he mentions...that this is all still fluid.
