Colorado showed us today what we should expect. In the era of portal and NIL the rules are entirely different.
Not saying we should emulate them, but change should produce positive results
Eric morris is not Deion sanders. Deion is a very, very unique coach.
I like many am more concerned about our general lack of competitiveness when we’re playing on national tv. When’s the last time we had a good showing to a national audience?

What made yall think Morris would be any different from Littrell besides personality? They come from the same exact coaching tree.

We are super excited to welcome special guests and 2023 NIT tourney champions Aaron Scott, Rubin Jones, Moulaye Sissoko and Matthew Stone at Tony’s GoMeanGreen.com tailgate this Saturday prior to the opener against Cal. Come join us as all are welcome! Map with tailgate location is below. Go Mean Green!
Those balls are pretty awesome. That pulled pork sandwich he had was great too. All MG fans should make a pit stop at Tony's.

Cal is huge, but if we do our part and win, every home game becomes bigger during the season

There's 10-15 pledges at various levels to cover the $200M+. That's $20M each or less. A lot to us, but just not that much to these guys.
Regular people like you and I can pop over to Perry's with the wife for the awesome pork chop and a few drinks, maybe a dessert, and it's no big deal. Or go someplace a tier up for a nice special dinner. But someone who works at Target pushing carts wouldn't dream of dropping a couple hundred bucks like that for a generic dinner. Someone like that considers Cheesecake Factory a special night out and Wendy's a generic dinner place.
None of those things are good or bad, just an example of how what's a lot to some is not a lot to others.
When you net worth starts with a B, $20M is just not significant.
Here's an SMU alum dropping $20M on flying a whale around. Tell me that's not dumber than buying into the ACC.
I dont know about you, but on pork chop Friday's I can get out of Perry's under $100 easy.....

Ladies looking good at 3-0, holding all 3 teams scoreless.
Gotta give them a lot of credit. They fly under the radar yet do soo well.
And they have same uniforms as the Scots Celtics !! Sweeeeet
I think we know how good they are year in and year out. The issue is taking that next step (aka scoring 1 goal in the ncaa tournament, beating a bigger team)

I imagine some things still need to be negotiated, but wouldn't it be crazy if SMU is bound by the same exorbitant exit fees as the rest of the ACC while not receiving a thin dime of all the media dollars everyone else will be getting?
Something tells me if theyre willing to pay 200 mil to get in and fork over any revenue, theyre ok with the exit fees

This is really the best they can do? A guy who failed his prediction of the stock market surging right before the bubble popped... And predicted that there would be near to zero deaths from COVID by May 2020?
Ernie must love wasting money.
I get that he's a big conservative, but some of his speakers I'm like "Really?" some of these people aren't relevant at all.
Just going through the past speakers I'm are any of them actually relevant? (besides Jerry)

Usually if you get another job in coaching it will take money away from your settlement with the old contract so maybe this is just temporary?
don't you have to make a reasonable effort to get a similar coaching job though? I think thats why Chad Morris had to leave Allen

For the academics here, how does one get AAU status? Do we have a shot at all ?
I think the only AAU universities in Texas are UT, A&M and Rice, no?

I think people are underestimating the leverage that Aresco has right now.
Let's say that there are indeed four AAC schools who are ready to leave the AAC and go to the PAC, and they give their notice today. The American Athletic Conference bylaws call for a $10 million payment and 27 months notice for a school to withdraw from the conference. Aresco has said he's open to negotiating, but he can just as easily decide NOT to negotiate and say, "Withdrawl notice received. You owe us $10M and cannot leave the conference for 27 months."
What does this do?
It puts the PAC schools in a situation where their 2024 scheduling is royally screwed. They would have three conference games and probably a few OOC games scheduled, but need to fill the other five to six weekends with non-conference teams. As Jared Mosley recently stated in the podcast with JD, scheduling is challenging and takes time. Can you imagine what schools have open availability to schedule games for next year? Let alone having enough schools with perfect open slots to fill out a full season for four schools?
You're looking at throwing scraps together at best. Most FBS teams are fully scheduled for next year so it'd likely be a whole lot of FCS schools, etc. If Stanford scoffs at the idea of playing the likes of Charlotte, UTSA, or ECU, do you think they're going to enjoy having a schedule full of schools like Houston Christian, Central Connecticut, or whoever else they can buy with short notice?
So now, let's say you're a media partner and you're excited about carrying a conference with the likes of Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, and Washington State. Are you willing to give them the $20M+ per year those schools want to deliver a lousy schedule of Oregon State vs. Houston Christian for a full season before even having a chance to *potentially* carry a more compelling schedule?
I don't think any savvy media partner would pay premium dollars for that type of content.
There may be a media partner that say, "We'll partner with you in 2025 IF—and only if—you have X schools in your conference." But if that's best-case scenario, what does the PAC do for media revenue for 2024? Are all four schools willing to forego media revenue for a year and have a season of completely lousy scheduling?
Not to mention, given how fast conference realignment is moving now, who's to say that Stanford and/or CAL aren't invited to the BIG10 by 2025 and the schools that make the jump are now left without their crown jewel in the conference?
To sum it up, if Aresco just says "No" to withdrawal negotiations and holds firm on the 27-month timeline for exiting the conference, he'll likely hold the leverage needed to convince the PAC to merge with the AAC.
The COVID year showed us games can be scheduled within a couple of weeks (BYU/Coastal Carolina comes to mind)

If the ACC called to invite UNT but said we had to forego 5-7 years of media revenue to join would you?
Part of me would for the perception bump.
Conference football schedule would be better. Bball would obviously be way better.
Whether we could afford it is a whole other issue.

I love when my Titans wear the Oilers throwback jerseys. No one in the Titans organization is concerned that media will confuse using a throwback name with desire to use that previous name in the present. Humans are capable of understanding nuance, of which this only requires the slightest bit.
The change happened 35 years ago. Only people who still get it wrong are 50+ people who refuse to make even the slightest effort to correctly associate the name we’ve been using since the Reagan administration.
The NFL is a bit different of an animal than a G5 college in Texas that hasnt had a whole lot of national success. I say this as an alum who hates it when people screw up our name
Still of the belief that the titans should renounce their claim to the Oilers logo/jersey and we should rename the Texans accordingly.

Let's not fall too much in love with the idea of Oregon State and Washington State coming to the AAC.
"If Cal and Stanford are accepted into the ACC -- a possibility that hit roadblocks Wednesday evening -- there is a widespread expectation that Oregon State and Washington State would move to the MWC, sources told ESPN."
Mountain West mulls next move as ACC decides on Cal, Stanford - ESPN
this makes so much sense. Why would you go to the AAC, when you can save on travel costs in the MWC?

Do we have the donors to afford all this travel in a coast to coast conference?
-
On the one hand I can't lie, I would love to have the sheer amount of million dollar donors SMU has
On the other hand, the absolutely hilarious national desperation effort to get away from us just reeks of the classic "see if we can throw mommy and daddy's money at the problem and see if it sticks" that I've seen way too often growing up in suburban Dallas (and in my community that my username is derived from...)

I understand why losing SMU would bother a Mean Green fan. But I don’t get the affinity for Rice and Tulane? Why do you hate losing them? It is unfortunate overall but I think the days of smaller private universities playing above FCS will be over by 2032 or shortly after. So any FBS private university program not in a P5 conference today will be operating at huge disadvantage. The private schools named for their city or region have a better shot of making it because they gain regional support easier.
Rice- easy drive for a game, Texas school. Usually fun games
Tulane- they beat USC in the SUgar Bowl, New Orleans is a fun destination
