  1. 64 is too large for a separate conference really.  There are only about a dozen schools that can move the needle nationally, another dozen who have large regional followings, and another dozen who do well enough within their own market to justify their existence $-wise.  If the point is for the Ohio States and the UTs of the worlds to maximize their value, I imagine they would like to keep in to within 40 teams.

    Dude is a legend in HS circles.  When you win like that, people don't care about your personality.

    I haven't heard anyone mention this, but TxState's Kinne played HS ball for Traylor at Gilmer.

    I don't doubt it.  I'm sure his personality is fine too.  Clearly, he has a good football mind and people like to play for him.  I'm just a little bewildered based on his interviews alone.

    AND the offense is setting us up for failure in first half of games. 

    When the D is soooo bad the offense can't continue being 1st half no shows. 10 points scored in the the 1st half of last 2 games. That's going to extend an already really bad defense and make them work more than anyone wants to see. 

    Yes, the defense can't spot the opposition 31 first half points. But the offense has to carry their weight and keep the D off the field. 

    Also, Caponi gotta go. I wasn't here during the Dodge years. I got on board right after. But this is the worst defense I have personally seen UNT ever field. That dead weight has to be let go. To add, 475k is grotesque misuse of funds. I'm not sure how it's allowed to continue even at this point, nevertheless giving him a second year. 

    It feels exactly like the Dodge years.  Score a ton of points, give up a ton, and barely lose them all.

    I think Dayton has a more National brand.  We could play them in the Charleston Tourney second game, either them or LSU.

    Interesting.  I didn't know Dayton had such a big following.   On paper VCU looks like it's been the more successful program of the two over the last couple decades.

    "I'm told Cal, Stanford and SMU are in the process of finalizing a deal to join the ACC in football, men's basketball and women's basketball..."

    That will be interesting to see where Smut tries to park the rest of their minor sports.  I think the Southland might have some openings!!

    And Stanford sponsors like 30 sports, but were already talking about maybe cutbacks along with Cal.

    I thought we established that you had to play the sports that your conference sponsors.  Are the any conferences that sponsor everything other than football and basketball?  Surely not.

  6. Meh.  Maybe, but I saw something about a Tuesday vote on Twitter earlier and the source seemed...sketchy.  I tend to think there is a lot of circular information floating it's way through these boards. Regardless, I was under the impression that conference additions had to be pretty much unanimous in practice even if technically not required.  Would the ACC really move ahead if multiple schools opposed?

  7. So much wheel spinning on here.

    If Cal and Stanford are focusing their efforts to get out of the PAC, then nobody, not even SMU, is going to waste time and money to get into a conference with freakin Oregon State and Washington State.   

    Aresco also can't ethically negotiate a group of schools out of the conference and he certainty couldn't do so and become the new PAC commissioner.  He would be buried in lawsuits.

    If the PAC implodes, losing to many of their members they will just cherry pick the best from the MWC and AAC and create a West and East division to reduce travel expenses. It may not immediately garnish acceptance as a so called P5 but it will move it into the top of the so called G5 while eliminating a conference as the leftovers merge into the Sun Belt 3. That’s where we will land. 
    Eventually the new PAC will inch it’s way to a place at the P5 table. 

     

    It depends on who all bails.  If Oregon, Washington, and Arizona go to the Big 12, I don't think there is enough appeal to what is left..   Eyeballs are scarce out west even with the best teams and these aren't the best teams.  The media rights the rump PAC would get probably couldn't even justify the buyout for the MWC schools.   If Oregon and Washington stay in the PAC it probably survives.

  9. I'm not that close to it anymore, but I can tell you high school jazz programs all around the country are very familiar with UNT.  I'd say it's still considered tops in Jazz, tops in affordability, and (along with Indiana) tops for public schools and non-East Coast/LA music schools.   I don't know that you're going to find a lot of good school rankings out there.  Many of them probably considered SAT scores and such for the entire college, which of course is going to give you some strange results.
