Alum of both schools here and I do have to say that Texas State travels very well. Especially for FCS, Talk to UH or TCU or even Southern Utah about TXST's fans traveling. I really hope that UNT gets it together. I want to be interested in both schools again. I have to admit that I do follow TXST more closely but there is reason to believe that they will be outdrawing UNT regularly (they travel better already). They already have an instate rival in UTSA (who was in their first year yes, but drew amazing crowds this year). UNT would fare much better in the WAC. In the WAC, UNT would have TXST and UTSA along with whatever out of conference games scheduled and Latech. I just don't see a downside for leaving the SBC behind.

What does the WAC average jump to when you put in the 9 Texas State commits? Not sure about UTSA commits.

Just wanted to chime in. Graduate of both Texas State and UNT here. Texas State does not have the full allottment of scholarships yet but is over the 63 allotment for FCS. Next year will be the first year they will be at 85. I have to agree with the people that think we need to find a way to play this team. They are averaging more people per game and honestly their crowds are awesome and travel much better than we do. Mcneese, SFA and Sam Houston were probably really bad examples. I believe TXST has beaten Mcneese 6 of the last 7. Beaten SFA 4 straight years and Beaten Sam 3 of the last 4. Texas State has been one of the better teams in the Southland for a while winning it in 2005, 2008.
