UNT In a Few Years

elig57 · October 13, 2013

So I've been thinking about how things have been going this year since we've started playing in Conference USA. I remember last year, I definitely had doubts about it, but so far, we've been doing pretty well. So my question: Does anybody see North Texp playing in a better conference like the Big Twelve, in say, ten years?

No. I could possibly see us going to something similar to the AAC (which I doubt will be around for 10 years).

And how long do you think North Texas _will stay in CUSA?

10 years

10 years of Boise-like play and it's possible. Big 12 with anything short of that would be more than a minor miracle.

The Big 12 is short 2 schools.

We should already be laying the ground work to make a bid.

The Big 12 will not be around in 10 years.

My guess would be a big no. But the Big XII seemed incredibly far-fetched for TCU just a few years ago. Who knows?

The skies the limit. No major team that exists today was born where they are. Stating he obvious but very true.

I don't think it would be smart of us to move up right after just moving into C-USA. We'd get a lot of losses. But I can see them moving in a while. Maybe even a pretty long while.

TCU won the rose bowl, Unt is striving for 6 wins... BigXII won't happen

Aspacially afser what happened last year. Only 3 wins out of 12 games. Definitely not what you want to see.

I can't stop thinking about our road woes. We can't go anywhere, no matter how pretty we look in Apogee, until we start stealing some on the road.

elig57 · October 13, 2013

We had a chance at winning most of those except for maybe Georgia, but even then we were tied in the 3rd quarter. Hopefully, we'll be better at road games in the next two weeks.

That is for sure, we might have been there already but then there was Dodge.

Texas and Oklahoma would never let another large public university from Texas join the Big 12. To answer your question... No. I can't see North Texas leaving C-USA in the next decade. I think it is more likely that C-USA develops into a stronger conference under its new configuration. The western division has a real chance to grow intense rivalries and post large attendance numbers. If the west can do that, C-USA will see an increase in perception and media interest. The P5s aren't going to add any of us in C-USA.
