Wow, this thing is all over the map (literally and figuratively). Confusing and dis-jointed release. Still not really sure what it is. I'm not even sure they do as it was talked about in different ways.
"consolidate their member football programs into one large association"
"join forces for this strategic landmark"
"creative merger of our football assets"
"association"
"collaborative partnership"
"collective football enterprise"
"high potential, unique partnership"
"merge into a separate football-only entity"
So, what is it? An association? A merger? A partnership? An entity? An enterprise? A collective?
If this is enough to keep SMU and Houston in C-USA and the Big East still wants a toe-hold in Texas, what then? Or if they still leave, will this new collective assimilate UNT?
