The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting
Oh, listen, I cannot believe yall haven't sued the NCAA of billions of dollars. For back pay for killing your program. Yall just laid the groundwork for how painful a Death Penalty is to a program, so fine upstanding programs like Baylor, who saw players rape and kill people, as well as Penn State. who looked the other way at pedophilia in their own facilities by coaches, never got a deserved death penalty. But I will also say that nobody else had a payroll that involved the governor of a state to keep this all under wraps. Yall made it an artform... -

Sympathetic to the death penalty? Maybe it was the most egregious and unjustified penalty ever handed down to a university while literally everyone else in the SWC was doing the same or worse at the time. Did it do anything to curtail cheating or paying players? No. All it did was nuke SMU to the stone age and put the nail in the coffin of the SWC. Even the NCAA has admitted they had no idea just how devastating it would be to SMU. The NCAA lead on infractions thought it would maybe 5 years for SMU to recover. It took 30 years to get back to even being remotely competitive in football. Zero chance the same punishment would've been handed down to Texas, OU, Bama, UGA, etc. no matter what they did. The death penalty was a joke in 1987 and looks hilarious given where college athletics is now. -

Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit
Best possible outcome for the ACC. This now gives the ACC 120 days to get the matter resolved in a North Carolina court. ACC is headquartered in Charlotte and has four member institutions in the state. FSU needed this judge to fast track their case and he just put a nail in the coffin. -

But that's the problem. We don't have those alumni that care about anything up here. Athletics or music or arts. Denton is a weird town for sure. I think we have like the third lowest alumni giving in the conference. But you cannot make people care about something that they don't want to care about. The entire city of Denton, the faculty and administration at UNT, the alumni, and the majority of the student body here have either been completely apathetic to sports or they actively loathe its existence. Its how a school with 40k in enrollment, 250k in living alumni, and being surrounded by millions of people in DFW can draw an average of about 15k in attendance for football. So yeah, that's not nearly as simple as you want to make it out to be. Its the opposite of you guys, where you have very small numbers for everything except cash on hand. And y'all have a media that still acts sympathetic to your Death Penalty and will carry your water for you. We don't have anything like this. Hell, most DFW media barely cares that we exist, too. -

Oh, I don't think they will be a power. But these schools will have some stupid setup that means avoiding being in a conference with teams that they consider beneath them.
