  1. Just a thought, now that the Big East consist of 7 basketball schools, some with no football programs, and no football programs at the FCS level, What will happen with the Big East's automatic BCS qualifier. Will it automatically go to the new conference, will it become non existent ? Will it be awarded to CUSA ?

  2. I think the NCAA should allow schools to sign kids to LOI between June 1st and August 1st prior to their Sr. year in High School. Most of the major schools would be finished with their recruiting and the kids could attend to business without the constant interference . No need to worry about students switching schools at the last minute or schools withdrawing offers. Perhaps, if the head coach leaves before the Feb. commitment date all players that have commited to that school can switch schools , however the school cannot decline to honor an offer already made.

  3. With the new academic requirements in place, more and more high schools players will go the JC route. This will make recruiting the JC kids much more important . It will be interesting to see how many HS kids will find at the last minute this year that they not eligible to accept scholarships to 4 yr. Schools.

  4. Interesting article in the Dallas paper this AM on the new academic standards for incoming freshman this year. The article says that the projection is that 10% of the recruited freshman will fail to meet the new standards and will have to sit out next year or attend a JC to gain the necessary standards.

  5. What is the difference from a preferred walk on and a grey shirt ?

    Coming from high school which would rather have offered?

    How many red shirts do we have from last years class?

    How many preferred walk ons and grey shirts do we have from last years class?

    Thanks .... GMG

    A walk on can join the team in the fall, a limited few can participate in pre-school practice. A Greyshirt cannot join the team until the second semester, they are given scholarships at that time, the first semester they pay their own way.

  6. Back in the late 60's, my college team as a youth (UH) had a defensive end about the same speed, same height with a little more weight named Jerry Drones, ie, part of their "Mad Dog" defense. He made some All American teams in 1969 as I recall.

    So......John Woods as a defensive end possibility?

    Nevertheless......Welcome to Mean Green Country, Mr. Woods! We are one dysfunctional family of opinion at times but all of whom wanting one thing back at UNT again..............winning ranked football teams with even more bowl appearances and....bowl wins.

    GMG!

    A San Angelo stud, finished his college career at WT then played for the LA Rams.

  7. Is the MWC that much better than CUSA? I just do not see the point in Houston or SMU, or anyone else wanting to leave CUSA for MWC. Am I crazy or are they? CUSA would be even better if SMU and Houston were back. More Texas the better!

    Also no way in hell do they want UTSA!

    Yet they accepted Texas Pan-Am ?
