I don't expect anything but disappointment from the world of North Texas athletics anymore, so however it shapes up, it will probably be bad. I wish some people who could make a difference would take

With the move , SDSU will not have to pay the exit fee if they choose to do the same

Per someone who ought to know, the C-USA sequence went like this. Ready to add UNT and only UNT but ECU and Marshall balked so FIU added to give eastern balance. Then Thompson informs Bankowsky he

Just another nail in the BE coffin. I wonder how many more it will take?

The MWC will go after SDSU now. Then look at UTEP, UH, Tulsa, and SMU. Would it suck if we lost UTEP and Tulsa, yes. But if and when the BE folds we could add back Memphis, UCF, Tulane and others. Although I'm sure the CUSA commish is kicking himself in the nuts with the ODU add.

This is the big domino, for now. Wonder if this will help or hurt CUSA and more importantly North Texas. Time will tell. Like I said in a previous post, if North Texas doesnt start winning, it doesnt matter.

Good point. Just give me regional competition !

I have a hard time believing MWC is terribly interested in Tulsa, SMU, or Houston at this point.

They will take back SDSU unless they think they can lure BYU back.

I don't see any of them brining enough dollars to the table to make the travel worth the time and cost.

The question is will the rest of nBE stay together. I feel pretty confident that Memphis, Cincy, UConn, and Temple want to be together and want to add schools that help basketball because all four make too much off basketball to add just anyone. I see them pushing to look at schools like UMass, ODU, Charlotte, UAB and maybe Tulsa.

I'm not sure that what Memphis, Cincy, UConn, and Temple want is compatible with what Houston and SMU and maybe Tulane want.

Finally, realignment news that actually makes sense.

Now we just need SDSU to say to this Big East non-sense and get back to regional conferences that make sense.

How crazy would that be if UTSA got an invite?? From nothing to in the top non-BCS conference in a coupe of years.

Whatever the scenario, I like our spot. Playing more known opponents, may have the ability to eat up some of the nBE leftovers, and SMU without a home. The only thing better that could happen is SMU to the Sun Belt. Haha

      Athletics site shows no more Bowl tickets available?

      https://www.firstresponderbowl.com/tickets/#Fan-Tickets We may have sold out of our allotment, but their website still shows ticket availability.

      Fun bowl games, not quite so fun playoff games. Maybe there's still something to be said for the bowl games after all.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      It will take some time for the fans of these schools to adjust to losing a few games a year when they're in the new "P2" consisting of maybe 40 teams max. However, filling an average 80k stadium for maybe 20 games/wk is only about 1.5M people demanding tickets for each week's game. Out of over 300M people, I suspect they can still keep filling the stands, other than the few days of "dud" games or bad weather. Now, I'm not sure about TV ratings, but there's so many T-shirt fans of these top 40 schools that I think they'll still watch. I hope this greed and the extreme powering of the top few schools ends up biting them in the a$$, but I'm afraid they'll be successful. I don't mind them breaking away, I just wish they'd be forced to give up any relation to the school. Go create a stand-alone semi-pro league independent of the universities. I haven't followed pro sports in decades, but my quick check shows the Cowboys have been varying between 6-9 and 13-3 for the past 20 years with minimal playoff success but from what I hear, they have plenty of demand for tickets, even when they suck. I realize they are a somewhat special team, but then again, so are these P2 teams, so I think the comparison is reasonably legit.

      Lot of fun bowl games so far. Toledo vs Pitt last night was incredible. This was another great game as well.

      Portal QB Emmet Brown - San Jose St

      Think this is staff trying to balance the QB Room out Have a 1 year starter, plus solid backup, the back up plays Sr Year while Jimmerson is the back up. Then after a few years to develop Jimmerson is ready to rock. I think Jimmerson may win the job as a RS Freshman over this guy. But it provides you with some solid QB play for competition as well as depth.
