  1. Sorry I don't think "average fan" cares at all about who goes to the school. Average fan will show up only if something big time is going on. Like what has happened at TCU recently. That's why they've started coming close to filling their place. The problem with both TCU and SMU on the college football landscape is they are small private schools, so they just don't have a lot of alumnus to begin with.

    If we started giving a flip about athletics before RV got here we could have been a South Florida or Central Florida. We have the built in advantage of having a lot of students. Now we have administration commitment.

    Our problem is that's is much more difficult to overcome years of apathy whereas if we were just starting this year as a new program with what we have, we'd probably have 15K season ticket holders. It will take a long time to get the stink off of what past administrations did to the program.

    Winning will help and was never more important than it is with the new stadium to go with it

    The fans I talked to at TCU games last year are increasing to be majority parents. The TCU average fan always attended TCU games but now that they gotten bigger and better parents are also taking part in athletics and not just enjoying the academic aspects of their child's education.

    SMU has an older fan base, point being with every passing year the older crowed dwindles and the younger students are not filling the seats.

    North Texas is the only DFW school left to truly increase season tickets, we can bring in the parents and older alumni with the new stadium.

  2. So how do you guys see all of this playing out within the next 6-10 years and how does it affect North Texas? Just curious to hear what you think!

    I would like to see a Texas league. The money the conference could bring in with sold out stadiums and low travel cost would be amazing.

    Pac-10

    ACC

    How about the Texas-10 (or so)

  3. The WAC might be at the bottom of the barrel but I bet the Big 12 falls first. Assuming the NCAA ok's the Bevo channel allowing for Texas to recruit weekly on TV, say bye to OU and A&M and what is left of the league.

    The Longhorn network is a sleeper cell, the WAC will never lose the amount money this bad idea is about to cost the Big 12.
