Colleyville Heritage has one of the highest rated QB's in the country. Just think about how many FBS college coaches have looked at their film and set foot on their campus. Not one of them offered Crouch. That is saying something. A lot of these kids play at schools that are very heavily recruited yet they have no offers. I don't think they are being overlooked.

SMU liked him but they are tight on scholarship numbers and couldn't afford to give a spot to a kid that might not qualify.

Tulsa got a home & home with OSU. They played at OSU in 2010 and OSU came to Tulsa last year.

I think you can get it if you order the sports package.

The Baylor games is going to be on national TV on Sunday Sept. 2nd. http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/colleges/post/_/id/4678549/entire-smu-football-schedule-to-be-televised

These kids may be world beaters, no one really knows that yet. They are under the radar type players from the simply fact that they have no other offers.

Well poop on me.

Funny thing about this poll is that there are going to be 123 FBS teams next year. They lose a lot of credibility with me when they don't even know how many teams are going to be in fbs next season.

It was actually going to be cheaper to for TCU to travel in the Big East then it was in the MWC. I think the travel cost are blown way out of proportion. Most of the Big East schools are located in major metro areas, you can fly into them and have a very short drive relatively easy. CUSA is the same way with the exception of Marshall and Southern Miss. In most cases you are talking about a 2:00 vs 3:00 flight. It's really not that big of a deal, most people on this board are making it a big deal because they want it to be a big deal. In this article it states that the Big East doesn't require schools to compete in individual sports against other Big East members during the regular season. So if SMU or Houston doesn't want to ship their golf team, tennis, or swimming teams to Piscataway, NJ or wherever for regular season matches, they don't have to. I believe they would just have to compete in the conference tournament. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/15553/john-marinatto-talks-tcu-expansion Who knows where college football will be in 5 years, we might not even have conferences. Who knows. I just think if you can move up a rung in status, you do it regardless of the finances but I don't think the financial situation is as dire as people here are making it out to be.

I'm not sure what this guys agenda is but if he was an SMU fan he would have referred to UNT as NTSU instead of North Texas-Denton

SMU has loosened up their admission standards for athletes a lot. Their problem isn't getting kids in school it is keeping them there.

I think that question has been answered. The money is going to be that much better or else they wouldn't have jumped ship. You are basically accusing a whole lot of school presidents and AD's of being absolute idiots. You guys really think they didn't give travel costs a thought ? Give these guys some credit, they didn't get where they are by being idiots.

I dont get how this is so hard to understand but if the Big East loses teams it is bad for CUSA. This has been proven over time. UNT should be rooting for stability.

I think this is similar to how the BIG 12 kicked Beebe to the curb. It didn't spell the end for the Big 12 and it won't for the Big East either. They both screwed up and let their conferences get picked apart. He turned down that Big tv deal from ESPN and there is no telling if they will be able to match it.

Army turned the Big East down 6 months ago, I don't think they are going to have a change of heart. They got beat down regularly last time they were in CUSA and don't want it to happen again. They think it hurts their recruiting having America see their military's future stars getting beat down every week on TV.
