[DRC: Thoughts on what UConn leaving the AAC could mean for UNT]

We just have to get #NorthTexit trending now.

Moving to AAC is a lateral move. it  won't get us any closer to being a P5 team. 

False. Every reputable voice in college football views the AAC as the superior G5 conference.

This, plus it would free up a non-conference slot in our schedule for a new series. It would be benefits galore for us, but the AAC would only have little gain from adding us, and SMU would likely try to block anyways.

Yeah exactly. We would have to somehow prove that the rivalry enhancement would generate a crazy amount of revenue for the conference... as well as SMU. We would have to convince them DFW can be a Los Angeles.

i.e.  USC and UCLA in the Pac-12.

UCON most likely will play independent.  The question is if we get considered to replace them. 

Our biggest case to being added is convincing them that it will enhance our rivalry with SMU. But I feel like that is unfortunately a long shot.

Your last sentence is exactly how SMU and UH feel about us...

UH? Couldn't agree more. SMU? SMU is a dying brand that will never ever ever reachieve success. SMU's 12 fans might look down on us, but at least we're continuously on the rise. The TV networks will see this sooner or later. We just gotta keep winning. And we will see how we fare against UH in the next few years...

Totally agree on the two Big 12 schools you listed--they've been riding coattails for a long time.

The question always goes back to whether we can jump SMU ever. Lets say the Big XII folds, and it leaves WVU, KSU, ISU, TCU, and Baylor on the outside. Do those five teams join the MWC and AAC? Or do they stay in a non-power Big XII, then add teams from the other G5s to be more CST oriented? It really wouldn't be hard to see those four add in UH, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, Memphis, Cincy, and a team like NIU. You'd get the Texas 4, plus Tulsa, and Tulane in a Big XII South and the other in a Big XII North. This would cause the AAC to replace 6 teams, with probably a reality of becoming more regional, since they would have no one in the CST after this. That would mean a focus on CUSA East schools, probably meaning Marshall, WKU, ODU, MUTS, Charlotte, and a F_U would join them. At that time, I think the SBCUSA has to align regionally, with CUSA West and the SBC West merging over here to give us this: UNT, UTEP, UTSA, Texas State, Rice, Arkansas State, La Tech, Louisiana, ULM, USM, UAB, and Troy.

This is a hot take if i've ever read one. I truly believe, if we are able to sustain the success we are experiencing out through 2025-2026, we would leap over schools like Tulsa and Memphis and definitely NIU. Tulsa and NIU don't have the market, and Memphis is only really relevant in basketball, and they haven't produced that well recently. If those schools got in with the Big12 leftovers before us, I will be incredibly disappointed. Also, give me death before you put us in a conference with Texas State.

Conversely, we could also not care and let them say whatever stupid crap they want and not let it impact us in any way. Just throwing out another idea.

Now where's the fun in that?

[Future Schedule. Baylor & Tulane]

A LOT of disrespect in the Baylor forum. Lets flood it like K-State did to us.

I hope he enjoys the Stockyards as much as he might have enjoyed Franklin Mountains.  Like Kansas' rural area that feeds Kansas State, Fort Worth is a place where he is sure to find many foods made of delicious beef.  If he's not muslim, he can also enjoy the many pork-themed bar-b-q joints in the greater Fort Worth-Weatherford-Benbrook Metro area.

ummmmmmm

[Those jerseys... but where?]

We might not have been able to capitalize on the opportunity that the OU game presented us, but I was at the game and ....those jerseys were beautiful. The question is, where can I get one? UNT does a very poor job at providing official jerseys for sale in all sports. I would love to buy that green basketball jersey as well as a nice looking football jersey, not the crap they sell that look like green versions of the Cowboys jerseys they sell at Albertsons (attatched below). I feel like providing official replica jerseys would do wonders in expanding out brand. Hell, they create walking billboards. Plus, you buy a kid a jersey like that when he or she is young, they might just become a fan for life.
