What happens if the PAC and ACC collapse and how will that affect the AAC and UNT. I find it rather interesting to even be talking about this but it is beginning to be a possibility or even a likelihood. At some point there will be a major break in college football between the larger and smaller programs using whatever measures to determine program size.  

This is just my opinion but something like this will occur.  The Big Boys, will end up in four or five five Super conferences with 20-16 members and as long as we end up in that group I will be happy.

How do we insure that we are part of that group, WIN GAMES!!!  Winning will, raise our profile, raise money and hopefully elevate our athletic program to the top tier.  Some of our new conference mates will not make it to that level.  

Now is an important time to continue our recent efforts and to redouble them so that we are not left behind. Our current and planned physical improvements are pretty damn good.  Our Olympic sports are good and getting better, basketball is something to be proud of and I believe in the future our football team will be as well.

What can you and I do?  Talk up our program and its successes.  Attend games and bring a friend(s) to a game or an event on campus,  buy season tickets and contribute as much money as you can afford to the MGSF.  I believe the future is bright, let us make sure it is!

I know this won’t be a popular opinion on here, but when talking to my friends the response I always get is “they haven’t really done anything yet.”  Or “check back when they do something.”

These are not just friends but they also attended and graduated from UNT.  If you look back at our history every time we take a step forward it seems like we take two steps back.  There has never been any consistency.

Conversely, basketball is something my friends are extremely excited about.  In fact 3 of them will become season ticket holders this year!

Continuity of success is the difficult thing at our G5 level.  For every Grant McCasland we find that does well, they will get taken by a P5.  We must be ready to backfill with a Ross Hodge and keep on winning!

Conference expansion to the P5 level is still about Football power (unless you are $mut).  We need some NIT-type years in Football.  Not win the CFP, but win a LOT, win the BIG games, and win some BOWLS.  Attendance and more Media is also important to build our image.

I’m expecting an up tick in attendance. I think MBB will be the biggest beneficiary. Get a group together and buy season tkts! GMG

As far as football is concerned the whole P5/G5 thing is coming to and end.  There will be 2 conferences that matter SEC and BIG10, everyone at the FBS level will be in that 2nd tier.  Those remaining conferences will have to partner up and work together on a media arrangement, not necessarily combine.

It almost feels as if you won’t need a conference in the future. You need commitment, eye balls, and opportunity games. This is why that comment about smu independence is not far fetched. At this point smu should run its program like a professional sports team. It would probably draw more fans. 

Our gifts are our alumni base size and location. More high profile wins And runs blow air on this hot ember.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
