Above are the conference rankings. Would we want to be in the MW? I believe it would be beneficial for us to move there and get away from the FCS start ups. BTW AAC has been doing really well as a conference and holding their own in OFC games,

I'm all in favor of the MW if they'll take an additional team with us such as La Tech. It's nice having other Texas conference opponents, but CUSA is not what it was hyped up to be. To be honest though I am interested to see what happens when the big12 inevitably breaks apart. I would love to join a conference with the misfits of that conference. I think a strong core could be assembled from the leftovers and UNT needs to be a part of that as well as 4 or 5 of our conference mates...

IA St, TCU, Baylor, Tech, UNT, Rice, La Tech, UTKFC, WVU (if the Big10 doesn't snatch them up), and bring on ULL and Ark St. With a core of teams like this we could lure Tulsa back in a long with Tulane. Hell, bring on SMU to get it to 14 and make the DFW trio of UNT, TCU and SMU mean something. This would be a highly rated conference and could dictate a very favorable TV contract deal. This may be read as a pipe dream but the big12 will disband in the near future, bank on that. There will be teams looking for a home and this given scenario makes sense.

I don't see the big 12 breaking up Baylor, TCU, Oky State and OU are all in the top 15, Baylor and TCU looking for National titles I see the Big 12  grabbing some teams I could see them grabbing Memphis and another team taking them back to 12 and a conference championship. 

If we can start winning the AAC is where I would like to be now.  We need to spend some money on our coaches a million plus on head coach and another million or so on the coordinators

Those stats are pretty much how I would rank the conferences overall off of the top of my head. I've always liked the MWC idea myself, but I'm a bit biased since I tend to be western oriented, and would love to see us regularly play in places like Colorado and Nevada. 

Me too, but more for my own selfish reasons.  I'd get to see tons of road games. Maybe I could operate a "Mean Green Bed & Breakfast" (or hostel) out of my basement on roadtrip weekends.

 

Not holding my breath, though.

Factors I think about when reading about conference alignment, other than strength of the football members, when it comes to football.

Region/location of other teams
TV contracts/money
Bowl tie-ins
Travel costs for school/fans
Quality of road trips for fans (Does the host school have a good campus? How is the local cuisine/beer...)

Other things come into play if you're talking about other sports, like basketball tournaments, etc...

      Similar to the deceiving wording when our men’s recruit went to central Arkansas😂

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
