Top UNT official: C-USA a great fit, what do you want to know?
Jack Wall, the chairman of the UNT board of regents, called Conference USA a great fit for the school today.
I called Wall a couple of days ago and got a call back today when he returned home.
If there was any doubt about what UNT's plans are (and let's face it, there weren't) they are out the window now.
Wall talked about what a great situation for UNT's fans and the fans at other C-USA schools to be within driving distance of their league rivals.
I certainly won't miss some of those long trips, although the worst of them (Idaho and Utah State) were knocked off UNT's schedule a few years ago.
It should be interesting to see what UNT officials have to say about the move to C-USA tomorrow.
There are several questions that come to mind:
-- Does the move to a new league move up the timeline for the addition of a baseball program?
-- How much does UNT anticipate its conference revenue distribution will jump once it is in C-USA?
-- Does UNT believe its programs will be ready to compete right away in C-USA in revenue sports (football, men's basketball)? http://meangreenblog...sa-a-great.html
How when we will UNT have a baseball program?
