There is also a plan being discussed that UConn and UMass become part of the Eastern Division of Conference USA, which would then split apart and become its league (9 teams) and the West would also be a 9 team conference by going after schools such as BYU and New Mexico State in football only.

Just because I don't think we are going to the AAC means I am debunking our program? And debunking NIU and their closeness to Chicago or MUTS and their proximity to Nashville, which both fit the current AAC footprint perfectly and have made a BCS bowl (NIU) and several NCAA Tournaments (MUTS) just makes you look like a stupid homer--and you aren't a stupid homer.
I have ALWAYS said that our path forward in a new conference involves us not being with TCU or SMU, not because they have clout anymore to keep us from being in their conferences, but because TV markets matter to the networks paying for their content. Its why I am fully onboard with going to the MWC if we ever were lucky enough to get asked. It would behoove our program greatly to play nationally ranked and higher regarded programs and it would greatly behoove the MWC to come out here for more eyeballs and recruiting. Its why there are no more markets in the G5 that share teams anymore. Rice and UH will never be in a conference again because of it. FAU and FIU are close, but the Miami DMA is considered different from Palm Beach/Ft. Lauderdale.
What changes all of this view? The G5s FINALLY realizing that geographical alignment is the way to go. That would make the MWC stay as it is, the MAC as it is, then completely realigning the AAC, CUSA, and SBC. I'd do backflips to see this conference setup:
UNT, SMU, UTEP, NMSU, Tulane, USM, UTSA, Texas State, UH, Rice, ULL, La Tech, Tulsa, and Arkansas State for football. Then be ready when the Big XII blows up by 2025 and you can add in Baylor and TCU, which gets you 16 great teams.
Make the football stadiums and basketball arenas more full because the travel is easier and the fans actually know people who went to these regional schools--lower costs for travel, more butts in seats, and less apathy, since UNT fans don't give one rip about ODU or F_U, nor do Temple fans care about SMU or Tulane. The idea of an old SWC would be incredible--but its gonna take these ADs realizing that there is no "P6", that there is more value in regional ties than hoping for supposed TV money that is built on sand for our level of play, and that actual attendance creates better fans that give more money. That's why I'm not holding my breath.
I think you are dead on with this posting.

Agree.
And for a school that has produced a long line of great LBs, our current LB situation is disappointing. Hopefully they outplay the prediction.
When you graduate two linebackers who were good it raises questions.

What is the building on the next side. The covered facility is interesting. Seems like to me it could still get pretty hot in there. And sometimes storms go sideways.

UConn’s woebegone football team is the last thing anyone in Storrs is worried about with a miraculous return to the Big East now imminent.
But unless the Huskies drop back down to the FCS level (unlikely) or stop playing the sport entirely (very unlikely), they do need to put the dumpster fire program somewhere.
Football independence, and further irrelevance, appears to be the most probable end game. The American Athletic Conference will reportedly have no interest in letting UConn stick around in a football-only capacity once the school jumps ship for the 2020-21 school year. It’s hard to see why Conference USA or the MAC would be interested in a football-only membership as well. So UConn seems destined to be a team without a league like UMass, and a bad situation will only get worse.

He should be the next UNT player drafted by the NFL.

Interesting that if Roberts and Lee sign we have signed 3 high school tight ends in the last two classes. After not signing any in Littrell’s first three classes. In fact I don’t think Littrell offered any tight ends in the 16, 17, or 18 classes
You are correct. Coach Macartney signed Kelvin Smith and Kevin Dillman in 2015 for the tight end position.

Now can we get a fullback type player? Blitz pickup, short yardage runs, and safety dumpoffs.

Too much to list but here’s two of mine. A 60’s era scrappy bobble head and a stack of Flyin’ Worm bumper stickers from 1979 that Mo Green sent me a while back.

Is stars or offers more important for recruits? Why do some teams not make any early offers?
