No, it would be a disaster and would set the conference back several years. Expansion by bringing up FCS programs is going to permanently place the SBC in the armpit of college athletics.
If Benson were smart (and every indication suggests otherwise) he would be looking to bring what remains of the WAC (sans UTA and UTSA) into the Sun Belt, eliminating competition and weakening the position of the Alliance to expand.
Let's be honest. Most of you are not so concerned about us moving up so much as having to play us every year. What's worse playing in a conference with recent move up. Or losing to recent move ups. Truth is UNT has done little to separate from TXST and UTSA has a huge advantage with San Antonio. Doesn't matter if UNT goes to CUSA if you guys just remain at doormat status. Even if you guys try to avoid us on your schedule if we are winning and you guys are losing, we will be the better program.

Think what you may about TXST but we are quickly rising as a program. We may not have the Wins to show it just yet. But our Fanbase is growing rapidly and our fans are loyal. It's not the same program of ten or twenty years ago. TXST has created an identity/ brand that is going to fit in well at the FBS level. Francione knows how how to build a program and I think his team will surprise everyone.

I don't think Texas St will get in but they are just exploring the options for down the road. I've had no problem with UTSA fans until they started last night bashing Tech screaming they were better choice because of their "potential" & attendance. UTSA doesn't have their own stadium and the basically have to give away tickets to get people to show up
Most UTSA fans are ok. There are a few very annoying fans. Rowdy Runner is the first and worst of the bunch. Don't put much stock into his comments. He thinks UTSA is the next Alabama.

Here is something to ease your mind. MWC and CUSA officials also visited TXST on Friday.

I third this.
Attendance vs TV $$$. You do the math. 30k seat stadium at say $35 average per seat. That's over a Million per game. Not including merchandise and concession sales. Yes attendance matters. Having teams that travel well in your conference makes all the difference in the world.

Yes to TN. Went to Knoxville in December and that town looks crazy on gameday. Where else in the world can you cheer for the Mean Green drenched in sherbert orange.
Peace to other fans coming on our board to talk sports. I welcome UTA TSU and the cartoons to come talk about sports. Can we play the cartoons in basketball soon, please. Very soon!
GMG
Always fun to talk sports. I hope to see UNT on or OOC soon.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the gentleman was responding to the very first post of the thread. TXST@SM was listed as the second school right after Tulsa. The guy is just letting us know that they already have a schedule in place...
I'm glad someone read the OP.

“We haven’t gotten to the point where we’ve put dates to the 2012 football games,” WAC boss Karl Benson said, “but that first Texas State-UT-San Antonio WAC game in 2012 might be pretty good. It might be a game that ESPN would be very interested in.”

So far Dennise Franchione, Tim Brewster and Bobby Jack Wright are expected to interview for the job. More names are expected to be added in the next few days. Canales was mentioned but not sure he will interview (given he was just offered OC for UNT). Here is a story on the topic.

College Football: Can Texas State afford a big-name coach?
By Tyler Mayforth
Daily Record Sports
...Two names being thrown around by sources are former Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione and Oklahoma co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright.
Fans would know of Franchione from when he was head coach at Texas State from 1990-91. Franchione compiled a 13-9 record before bolting for New Mexico, TCU and Alabama.
If Franchoine is hired, he’d probably bring his son (Brad) along as offensive coordinator. Franchione also knows Texas State Director of Athletics Dr. Larry Teis pretty well from his days with the Horned Frogs and Lobos.
While Franchione has an 187-101-2 record as a head coach, he’s 107-81 at the FBS level and 4-3 in bowl games. Franchione also has a history of jumping between programs.
Wright might not have experience as a head coach, but he’s an excellent recruiter and has experience at the top level. Plus, Wright played at Texas State — then Southwest Texas State — from 1969-72 and and according to sources, wants to get back to the Hill Country and has contacted several people within the athletic department to get his name in front of Teis.
He also reportedly has a staff lined up if he gets the call from Texas State.
The knocks on Wright are that his defense at Texas (where he was the sole defensive coordinator in 1997) got torched for 33.3 points per game and that he doesn’t call the shots on defense with the Sooners.
If Texas State chooses to hire from outside of its network for the first time since Manny Matsakis, the Bobcats will need to work extra hard to convince the hire that taking over a startup FBS program would be a step forward in their career. In turn, the candidate would need to assure Teis and the others that Texas State wouldn’t just be a stepping stone to the next pond.
Texas State posted the head coaching position on its job board Tuesday afternoon and as of Wednesday night, only three people turned in applications. In talking with several people inside the university’s Department of Human Resources, they expect that number to skyrocket within seven days.

Can tx state afford to pay a higher salary?
Yes If Hawaii isn't part of the WAC that frees up what $500-$1 million a year in travel cost. Also several posters on Bobcatfans keep talking like Phil Fulmer is really interested in TXST. We should know more on Monday.

Man this is entertaining. You guys are Going about this all wrong. The first thing you guys need to address is what qualities does your new ahead coach need to have. Ex recruiter, marketing, experience building programs, experience building sting defense or offense. Second you need to ask is how much will this coach change your program and are you willing to wait for those changes to pay off. Ex going after another spread coach or a defensive coach. Then you should look at what type o program is this coach used to. Dodge had the best players a high school coach could ask for. Now he's on the other side of that coin. I would think it would be good to hire a coach that can develope players. After that you should be able to filter the coaches that would best fit your program.

That top part isn't the press box it's the Club Boxes.
The Jerry D. and Linda Gregg Fields Bobcat Stadium West Side Complex includes the addition of a Legacy Suite Level and Champions Club Level with a total cost of $17 million.
The architect-engineering firm for the expansion is O'Connell Robertson and Associates, the contractor is Austin Commercial and the project manager is Broaddus and Associates.
The Legacy Suite Level includes 15 suites. Each of the suites feature 12 permanent seats and four bar stools. Amenities include season tickets to home games, full kitchenettes, refrigerators and cabinets, a flat-screen television, operable windows that open and close for climate-controlled comfort, four VIP parking passes, and a suite attendant to ensure that Bobcat fans and their guests have the experience of a lifetime. Each suite also contains an elegant plaque that recognizes the contributions to the Bobcat football program.
The Champions Club Level features 450 club seats. The club level includes covered, outdoor seating and also an indoor banquet-style area with tables and additional seating. Packages include pre-game food and game tickets with pricing tied to seat location.

I wish them the best, but $32 million seems like a lot for a 13,500 end zone addition. Must be a nice visitors locker room and bookstore embedded in there..
Of course it will cover up part of the track, so I'm all for it.
Track will be completely removed.

The announcement was made official today. Follow link to see thread on Bobcatfans. Also a pic of design.

So 30K in 4 years, not next year, right?
And no mention of any further expansion plans. Lots of "the word is" sources.
But good luck, just not too much.
Yea we over at Bobcatfans find it funny that thy didn't mention the start date since it will be this Feb. Durring the bobcat blowout reception that was the date all of the officails were saying.

Come back when you can give us the date that construction/upgrades will ACTUALLY begin.

Another facelift in the works for Bobcat Stadium
By Jerry Briggs on Aug 27, 10 02:04 PM SAN MARCOS -- Another major facelift for Bobcat Stadium apparently is in the works.
Word on the street is that the plan calls for another 13,500 seats to be added to Texas State University's football stadium in an effort to beef up the school's bid to pursue inclusion in a Football Bowl Subdivision conference.
More details could surface next week. But based on preliminary reports, the university is expected to proceed with a plan that would remove the track from the stadium and wall in the north end zone with another seating section that would increase capacity to nearly 30,000.
The reports come on the heels of recent comments from Karl Benson, commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference, who says that Texas State is under consideration as a potential member of that conference.
The timing of the expansion project is unknown at this point. But a school official last year said he hoped to complete it within five years. If that's still the case, then it's possible that the expanded Bobcat Stadium might be ready by 2014.
Cost is likely to run into the millions of dollars range. The refurbished west side of the stadium that opened last year cost $17 million. The west side project included the addition of club seats and luxury suites.
Texas State opens its season Sept. 4 at Houston.

I do wish you guys the best, but I'd prefer to keep you where you belong, which is very distant in our rearview mirror.
no offense taken. Grand satnd are being extended as part of the " bowling in" of the Noth Endzone.
We may not pass you up but we're right in your arse. So don't slam your breaks.
-
Exactly, which is why I think your 45k ambition is a distant goal. Maybe in 10-12 years. Hopefully we will be at 50K by then (an equally ambitious goal).
This seriously wasn't meant as a shot at your university. I'm just tired of hearing from some with huge football insecurity issues that Texas St. and UTSA are going to pass us by.
In 2005 we sold out our stadium three times when we hosted the first three rounds in the playoffs. Each time tickets were sold out in one to two days. Our regular games average 12k. Opening game is usually a sellout as is home coming.
-
I think our programs ate in simmilar ( not same) situations. You guys want to be seen as a 1st rate FBS program. We want to be FBS. Do like you guys any time I get to share what's realy going on here at TXST I will. Hope to have UNT over regularly once we get to FBS. Then we can help fill each others stadiums. As for breaking ground on our stadium it's already in progress. Our South EndZone complex was completed in 2004 our new suites and club seats were completed in 2009. Our North Endzone will start as soon as this season is over. Funds are already in place and contractors are in negotiations.
