Association brings credibility

While there are many intrinsic athletic benefits to being in Conference USA, one aspect that has been overlooked is the academic pedigree of who we associate with. Our university is now going to be associated with Rice, Tulsa, Tulane, UNC-Charlotte (the college that produces the most start up small businesses) as well as other decent state universities, and the solid UT System.

I hope this affiliation with such competitive schools allows for UNT to become an even more competitive academic environment, as well as bolstering athletics.

I just relocated to Austin, and I'm already seeing the positive news of this CUSA move reverberate throughout the community.

Great points MJG - academics played a very big role in the selection process here and we should be proud to be aligned with the schools in C-USA!
