This season, UNT is one of seven teams that will be joining Conference USA. Over the
past four seasons, there has been a different C-USA overall champion every year.

The competition in the new conference is very high compared to the Sun Belt. Last year, the
Conference USA standings had three teams at the top of the conference standing with a 7-1
record. The Sun Belt had just one team finish with seven conference wins.

“It’ll be fun playing new teams week in and week out this year,” senior wide receiver Brelan
Chancellor said. “They haven’t seen us and we haven’t seen them so it’ll be some good
matchups.”

The toughest teams in the conference are the University of Tulsa, who finished with an 11-3
record overall and 7-1 in conference play, and East Carolina University (8-5, 7-1).

Perception is amazing. This pup writer for the Daily has a higher perception of CUSA than the SunBelt, even though the SunBelt might be better top to bottom than CUSA....time will tell. Nice to be a part of a conference with a higher reputation.

Well crap, I guess it's too late to go begging back to Commissioner Benson huh?

C-USA top to bottom is actually better than the SBC top to bottom. No doubt. Of course, it's all perception right now because none of us know how the leagues will perform with all of the changes.

The Sun Belt was rated higher at the end of last year than CUSA. I think CUSA was rated below two FCS conferences. CUSA was brutal last year, something like 7-35 OOC against FBS opponents.

Personally, I'd give the edge to the Belt right now in top to bottom football strength. That doesn't mean that I'd prefer to be back in the Belt, and that doesn't mean that won't change this year or next.

      I think you will see dramatic drop off in interest if that happens. The casual CFB fan without a passionate attachment to a particular team is a small market. College Basketball found that out the hard way. Your purely market driven model applied to the NFL 40 years ago robs the league of Carolina Panthers, Houston or Tennessee franchises, Baltimore or Cleveland franchise, the Jaguars an maybe even Green Bay (if they were poorly managed and never found Brett Farve). Hell even the New Orleans Saints would be on thin ice with hurricane Katrina without the Drew Bree and Sean Patton era. What I think is best would be about 30-40 FBS teams going back down to FCS. And I think a conference like the MAC just doesn’t belong at the FBS level. And basically any team that has jumped up to FBS after 2000 should be critically examined and forced to go back down if they haven’t met certain criteria in on the field achievement.

      I think you’re right. Morris, DT, Mercer, and Hammond.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.
