  1. IIRC, both WKU and MTSU wanted to go accept the invite from the Mac. However, the MTSU administration told the athletic department there was no money for the move. Often, schools don't actually write checks for exit and entry fees. What happens is they forego payments from conferences. The MTSU budget was so tight they could not afford to forego any payments. So they were stuck. Because it was a both-or-nothing offer, WKY was stuck also. I would think there is a new level of hatred from WKU for MTSU because of this!
  2. The NCAA has been consistently losing lawsuits brought by members since 1981. After 43 years of losing, they have found they MUST be spineless!
  3. If you read Jim Williams's post, it's ALL speculative. Those are HIS ideas, not something currently in progress. FSU still has not found a way out of the grant of rights. Louisville is certainly questionable for the B1G - they wouldn't take OSU or WSU so I'm not sure why they'd take Louisville. This COULD happen in a few years, but certainly no reason to panic like it's going to happen for 2025!
  4. Thanks! Yes, it was my smart TV. Next game I’ll check the computer. Also reinstall the ESPN app on the TV.
  5. Watching on ESPN+ and the game keeps skipping back 10 to 12 seconds. Anyone else experiencing that?
  6. We're not talking now, the game they might be thinking of buying out is in 2027! And, no one at Tech has actually said they want to buy it out, just that they want to move to having seven home games each year. EDIT - I need to stop trying to post from my phone!
  7. Home games generate lots of dollars, not just for team and school but for the town as well. The City of Norman has been pushing OU for decades to drop the annual game in Dallas in favor of a home and home with UT.
  8. Rust On is a good description of the town.
  9. Three of the big heavyweights in sports broadcasting are joining forces for a combined streaming service. Here's a podcast that explains what's going on. As the Podcast states, "The dinosaurs are seeing the asteroid coming and are trying to do something about it." Here's the link. https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/why-three-media-giants-are-betting-on-sports-streaming/97E7A6C2-46AA-428C-8719-ECAAB17941C0
  10. Position coaches come and go. They always have and always will. That churn happens at all levels of football. This is not good news but certainly not “our season is done” either.
  11. The Mavericks first season was 80-81. During the DePaul game, there was a lot of talk about how Mark Aguirre was likely coming to the Mavericks with the first pick. The biggest difference was MUCH less sports on TV. ESPN has started, but didn't have any college football or basketball yet. The first lacrosse game I ever saw was on ESPN around that time. There weren't many cable TV options yet either - you had local DFW TV of 4, 5, 8, 11 (an independent at the time), 13, and 39. Channels 21, 27 and 33 had just signed on in 1979 but were Pay Per View scrambled signals after 7pm. No Fox network yet. CNN started June 1, 1980. MTV started Aug 1, 1981. There weren't even any dedicated All-sports radio stations. I was living in the dorms Fall 76 thru Spring 78. Going to the game was just what you did - it was the default evening activity if you lived in a dorm.
  12. I understand what you're saying, but both the ACC and the American Conference list the Fenway Bowl as one of their top, non-access, bowls.
  13. They aren't supposed to according to TeamRankings. FAU is the favorite to win both the regular season and the tournament, followed by SMU. Memphis is a distant third place!
