If anyone is in the Washington, DC area, we are in the midst of planning an Alumni/WBB event for their December basketball games. Just got off a call with Athletics, the Alumni Association and Student Affairs to do the initial planning, and we are super excited about this event. We have over 1500 alums in the areas, so we hope we can get our folks to show up!! If you are in the area or know anyone that lives in the area, and would like more details on the event (as they become available) -- email me at Brandon.Daniels@outlook.com. GMG!!

At issue is an impending decision by Southern Miss, Marshall and Old Dominion over whether to join the Sun Belt Conference. Sources tell CBS Sports that the three Conference USA schools, along with James Madison of the FCS, could be invited to join the Sun Belt as early as next week. CBS Sports previously learned all four have been in the process of choosing between the two conferences. There has been contact between C-USA and McNeese State from the Southland Conference and Sam Houston of the WAC, sources told CBS Sports. Like James Madison, those are FCS schools that would require an NCAA-mandated multi-year transition process to FBS. The preference for C-USA is to add FBS members with schools such as independents New Mexico State, UConn and UMass also being mentioned. CBS Sports previously reported independent Liberty is in the mix for either C-USA or Sun Belt membership. Given the developments of this past week, it would likely prefer the Sun Belt at this time as the school assesses its options. That is ... unless the schools mentioned decide to remain with/join C-USA. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/conference-usa-future-in-doubt-with-four-teams-expected-to-join-sun-belt-next-week/

Conference USA schools get about $500,000 annually in their current TV deal. The AAC, as it currently exists, averages $7 million per team. That figure is expected to decline significantly after the loss of three schools to the Big 12. Even if its 1/2 of the current amount ($3.5M) , it will have positive implications for our program." https://awfulannouncing.com/ncaa/espn-1-billion-deal-aac-espn-plus.html https://www.on3.com/news/conference-tv-deals-current-status-college-football/

I took a picture of this from my Lyft the other day - headed from one meeting to another in DC. This is pretty awesome.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/rankings/cbs-sports-ranking/ Pretty good ranking to start the year. Ahead of many teams we are playing this year!

I can definitely find a place for us to watch games. Need to know folks are going to interested.

I'm definitely watching this guy closely - but if this doesn't bring a smile to your face, then I don't know what will

Hope we can hold onto this guy!! http://www.buckeyesports.com/ohio-states-1-day-position-camp-brings-offers-prospects/ While the Buckeyes have a quarterback committed for 2020 in Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral four-star Jack Miller (6-4, 210), who pledged July 1, another arm is on the table with depth at the position needed.One of Ohio State’s offer candidates for 2020 appears to be Austin “Kade” Renfro, who camped before he and his family left early in the afternoon and went inside the team facility with passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Yurcich. The 6-3 1/2, 189-pounder from Stephenville, Texas, committed June 1 to North Texas but is attracting Power Five interest. He jumped on his offer from the in-state Mean Green, but the three-star quarterback camped Thursday at Texas A&M and has Florida State on deck Sunday for a camp. After he came back from an injury to start his junior season, Renfrow completed 105 of 163 passes (64.4 percent) for 1,840 yards with 17 touchdowns to nine interceptions in 2018 as Stephenville went 7-4 and reached the Texas Class 4A playoffs’ second round.

Looks like the new Indoor Practice Facility will be named - "Lovelace & McNatt Families Practice Facility." Lovelace Family Pledge - $2.5M McNatt Family Pledge - $3.0M Great news!!

Two quick points: The guy made about $60,000 last year - so we are getting a steal financially His recruiting area is DFW - so he already knows the area well A+ on the hire!!
