I chose stay put, at least until someone actually leaves. Tulsa might be gone, but the A-whatever is NOT the same conference that got ECU and Tulane.

If Tulsa leaves then the best geographic fit is ASU, followed by UL. Western is a good program, but adding them hurts the divisions which hurts every other member of the conference. It especially hurts the western members. The newbies get votes on this so why would UTEP, UTSA, Rice, LaTech and us want to replace Tulsa with Western and hurt themselves?

Are we sure newbies get votes, I mean we are not effectively in the conference until July 1 right?

As I stated in another thread: stay put. I think Navy will reneg on the noname conference, and then we might loose USM or someone else. at that point we'd be at 12, which is not all bad. If we want top add 2 then, at least C-USA will know what the landscape looks like.

But I fear Bankowsky is too antsy to wait. Still one can hope he learnt from his previous mistakes when he backfilled to fast to allow for any chance for any of the departing schools to come back.

From an overall sports program, it's hard to do better than WKU. But for now, stay put.

Unless, of course, Army wants in. Then, by all means.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
