Texas Arlington plans to accept an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference, pending the approval of the school's board of regents, a source said.

The Mavericks, coming from the Southland Conference, will join Texas State and Georgia State as new members of the Sun Belt, which lost North Texas and Florida International to Conference USA this week.

UT Arlington does not play football, although the school intends to explore building a football program after completing an upgrade of the baseball and softball facilities.

Wow, DFW will have a division one school in the CUSA, the Big East, the Big 12 and the Sun Belt. Both the Big 12 and CUSA are headquartered here. Hopefully see greater fan enthusiasm and media coverage for college sports. DFW the center of college sports in Texas.

      New UNT Coach is Daniyal Robinson

      My unnamed sources tell me the following interviewed: Bill Self: HC Kansas. Had really grown tired of a KU fan's, @rojomojo, push to tear down Allen Fieldhouse and turn it into a greenspace similar to what NYC has with Central Park. KU would then play on an outfield court designed, again with NYC in mind, to resemble Holcombe Rucker Park. This was all in a plan to address the volatile weather patterns in Lawrence attributed to climate change and not enough greenspace to combat these changes. Deal Fell Through: When Self found out @rojomojo was in graduate school at North Texas. Kevlin Sampson: HC Houston. Was ready for the move up I45 as he was finding it tougher and tougher to admit to living in the armpit of Texas. The liberalism of the North Texas campus coupled with his affinity for three-ways, texts, and UNT's acceptance of this vile practice were the major attractions for Sampson until he discovered the long banish from having anything to do with Houston, @Cougar King, was now stalking the Denton campus. Sampson was quoted as saying, "The thought of that troll entering one of my three-ways (Texts) was nauseating enough, but there is a real possibility that could happen in Denton. That's a chance I am not willing to take." Tom Izzo: HC Michigan State. At the age of 70, the draw to finally be able to coach the real Mean Green led Izzo to call about the job. Not much is known about his interview, but one sticking point was the weather. Izzo, being used to the cold dankness of East Lansing was worried about the heat of North Texas. That, and the amount of sun screen that would be needed to cover the bags under his eyes. When an NIL deal collapsed between Izzo's ey bags, Matthew Stone's legs and Coppertone fell through, Izzo was out. The rest, as they say, is history and Daniyal Robinson is our head coach.

      Dissecting Daniyal Robinson’s CSU tenure and departure

      With head coach Daniyal Robinson headed for North Texas, the Vikings find themselves back on the coaching carousel. Three years ago, Dennis Gates took his talents (and most of the players) to Missouri. Robinson came in with a bare bones roster and one of his guys from Iowa State. With expectations fairly (understandably) low at the start, Robinson leaves CSU with three-straight 20-win seasons plus the most wins by a CSU coach in their first three seasons (65). The time for Robinson with the Vikings can be divided into two main “eras.” These eras can be referred to as “Tristan Enaruna” and “Post-Enaruna.” With expectations at the beginning of each just as low (and a roster just as new), the Vikings exceeded expectations both times. Enaruna Era (2022-24) With only four remaining guys on the team (which is better than when Gates took over at least), Robinson had to build the roster from the ground up. Yahel Hill, Deshon Parker, Deante “Spider” Johnson, and Jayson Woodrich all returned but they accounted for only 23.2 points per game (PPG) total the previous year. The departures of Tre Gomillion (10.5 PPG) and D’Moi Hodge (15.4 PPG) to Missouri were the biggest hurdles to get over. In stepped Enaruna, Tae Williams, and Drew Lowder plus freshman Dylan Arnett. These four would turn into some of the most impactful players for the Robinson-led Vikings over the next three years. Enaruna was obviously the stand-out but coming into the season he was unproven. He was a top recruit previously but while playing at Kansas (two years) and Iowa State (one year), he only averaged 2.4, 2.8, and 4.3 PPG. read more: https://horizoneroundtable.com/2025/03/31/its-not-a-great-day-to-be-a-vike-dissecting-daniyal-robinsons-csu-tenure-and-departure/
