SMU2006

None of what you post here has any chance of happening. None of it.

Best of luck to North Texas. The American is still a good conference with some intriguing teams. I do not think we will play in football again, however. Hope I'm wrong but as Denton accurately pointed out the ACC is pushing every school to only schedule other P4's with one FCS so the Safeway Bowl may finally be at an end 😞

Yes. All reasonable people know this (including FSU and Clemson). Not only did FSU and Clemson sign the initial GOR they released statements at the time about how great it was the stability of the league and how it ensures, as the FSU president wrote, "no can leave". Not only did they sign the initial GOR but they resigned it. TWICE. Good luck getting a NC judge (ACC headquarters in Charlotte) to buy that they were tricked into the deal. Its simply not going to work. The lawsuits are red meat for their fanbases that are mad about the money gap between the ACC and the B1G/SEC. Nothing more.

I think North Texas would be included. I think the eventual endgame would be an East/West "merger" of the MWC/Pac-2 and AAC. West - Washington State, Oregon State, San Diego State, Fresno State, San Jose State, Boise State, UNLV, Colorado State, Air Force East - North Texas, UTSA, Rice, Tulane, South Florida, East Carolina, Memphis, Navy, Army

There is a zero percent chance A&M leaves the SEC. Zero. And there is a better chance of Texas Tech dropping football than getting an SEC invite.

Vanderbilt backed out of a home and home b/c their coaching staff is on the hot seat. SMU wasn't notified until late spring and Nevada was one of only a few schools willing to play week zero. Return game in Dallas is 2028 but I doubt that happens given P4 scheduling is all but assuredly going to do away with G5 OOC matchups.

You'd rather have poor, sad, irrelevant energy?

P4's are already informing schools that any open OOC will be against other P4's. In the next 5-7 years there won't be any G5 v P4 games at all.

UNT would've walked a mile over broken glass to have at least made some kind of impact on college football. Not being ranked for five decades with a Dollar Store budget for NIL isn't exactly screaming relevance is it?

What's UNT's record against SMU again?

UNT has 5x the undergrads and they can't be bothered to walk across campus to watch a football game at a really nice and still new stadium. Says a lot doesn't it.

Kinda seems like you don't pay for sh*t but expect different results.

attendance smack from a school with nearly 40k undergrads and has never had a single sellout....

The Jags are no joke but I do expect North Texas to win.
