  1. Hmm. AAC leadership apparently has friends in high places, but I'm legitimately wondering if that conference has figured it out.... to the point that even after Texas/OU/OSU/Kansas leave the Big12, schools like Houston & SMU won't want to join up with the Big 12 leftovers, rather staying with the AAC. If NT can keep up momentum better than we have (football & basketball), we can position ourselves nicely to fit with the Big12 leftovers if SMU decides to stick with the AAC. Also, pretty please can we get rid of McCleod & bring in someone who can run a conference? C-USA has done nothing but backslide under her leadership.

  4. This is what sets AAC as the closest to a P6. But we just need to keep getting better in every sport the rest will take care of it self.

  10. "November 5, 2022, Arkansas will play host to Liberty University. "Normally, there wouldn’t be much to examine in the case of a football game. Sure, there could be the usual conjecture about starting offensive lines, or debate on which defensive scheme would be most effective, but nothing sinister should ever be expected to dominate conversation. Nevertheless, it will. "Liberty University is one of the most controversial schools in the NCAA, and for good reason. There is tremendous baggage at almost every level, from coaching to administration. By engaging in a contract with Liberty, the University of Arkansas will be both legitimizing and financially rewarding a history of racism, sexism, and outright malevolence. This cannot be allowed to happen." https://medium.com/@tuckerpartridge/an-open-letter-to-hunter-yurachek-chad-morris-joe-steinmetz-and-razorback-nation-6cd95d74f1fb?fbclid=IwAR3bYkg7iwYZ5zXcycw3tnvaCReJfaUzgiUR5H6SfkDyKIjrqczF44zr60Y

  12. I am NOT a fan of Liberty but they have nice facilities and a good game day experience. They also had a nice indoor facility. The student section was also full (even during the rain - imagine that at UNT) and rocking. 09114C39-DBDE-4AF9-9AD9-03DC269157D2.MOV 55101093-BD6A-4BC7-A04F-7CC70E4B4F1F.MOV

  14. Judging by their athletic facilities, money thrown around to join conferences, and upward trajectory, I'd say they can be a worthy independent. But it will take time.

  19. A quick look and NT has the worse record in the tournament 15-15. A lot of mediocre teams, hopefully NT can have success much like the men's team last year in this (buy your way in tournament). A good move if NT can at least last a couple of games. It will be interesting to see how Mitchell plays it. Three starters are seniors. Do you play for wins or experience or records for Bradley?

  20. This conference as it stands continues to not get any sort of credibility with the powers that be. I think this conference is much better at basketball, men’s and women’s, than anything else. Yet here we sit with another one bid. Don’t know what the deal is.

  26. What's telling isn't necessarily the numbers, but the lack of a Grant of Rights. AAC was expected to get between 6-10 million/team/year, and had to take the low end to avoid it. That means that a few schools expect to have... other options soon enough. If I'm not Cincy, Houston, Navy or UCF, I'm very happy with the money but already sizing up potential programs to date, because I know my time is limited.

  30. I read somewhere that Liberty put up 25 million to join the Sun Belt and the school was turned down. I also believe CUSA turned them down as well. I wonder if Liberty has the kind of backing to continue to be independent like a Norte Dame, Army, or BYU.

  34. The NFL already has AAA and it's called college football.

  35. You may be right, but I hope it does keep going. As they continue to move forward I believe they will need to get the support of the NFL. I think it is clear they are not trying to compete with, but basically, offer players a chance to get to the NFL. I would like to see The NFL basically place players with teams, sort of like AAA baseball.

  39. I'm not sure but are they referencing the cut he sustained on his hand during the FAU game when he was destroyed by two defenders. Everyone initially thought it was a wrist injury. Thats the game when Quinn came in and saved us from another blown lead loss

  41. From the article: "He dealt with a wrist injury in November" This wasn't public knowledge was it? I certainly didn't realize it. That could be an explanation on some of the overthrow-should-have-been-a-touchdown deep passes.
