I wonder if the same fans that emailed the president and AD demanding they resign will now send emails apologizing to them.

Are you talking about MTSU or UNT?

MTSU has a lot going for it. I believe that C-USA wanted to expand into large unserved media markets to allow the sport networks to expand the number of viewers. Both ESPN/CBS have contracts with the SEC. Since Vanderbilt in Nashville and Tennessee in Knoxville are members of SEC, this unfortunately put MTSU at a disadvantage. Both Charlotte and Norfolk offered large fast growing media markets without competition from other conferences or professional football franchises. C-USA was seeking to place itself in the best position for negotiating new media contracts. This may be a case of business before pleasure.

I want to distance UNT from anything to do with the Sun Belt - that means MT, Troy, WKU, and all the rest. God bless & good riddance.

I'm not totally disagreeing with you but I'll be glad to to attend meetings with UNT vs. WKU at any time in men's basketball.

Agreed.
