To get into the MWC we need:

1)32000+ attendance

2)new football stadium

3)top 25 team in something OTHER than football.

4)15k of 32k in stands to be incredibly attractice women.(to boost attendance of dudes to 70k)

We need to do all the things on that list just for us; that is, never minding a possble future in the MWC.

IMHO, "IF" the MWC expanded in Texas, I'd see them wanting the Houston TV market and that would be UH, of course. Just don't think UH will have near as good as facilities as NORTH TEXAS once the entire Mean Green Athletic Village is completed. And if NT hasn't learned anything in recent years, haven't we learned where facilities do make a difference sometimes in getting in conferences? Even having good overall facilities over some schools who regularly go to bowl games in some cases? rolleyes.gif

In monday or tuesday's Startlegram the MWC commissioner was qouted as saying their expansion ended with TCU. And after the magic wand that was waved with Louisville at the end of last season so that their new conference could count them them as a member so they could miss having to go their first year without a team ranked in the top 10, preventing the first step towards losing it's BCS rating, then there is no way the MWC will become a true BCS. No way.

I predict TCU is headed for a huge train wreck.

Train Wreck? The MWC is really a step up from CUSA, is it not?

I think that current wisdom is that there are still conferences (i.e. LaTech in WAC, Arkansas in SEC, Baylor in Big 12,UCF in CUSA) with schools that really would be rather be, or would be better fits somewhere else, in the long term.

Most do not expect the current conference configurations to last very long.

That same rule could alllow the MWC to grab a #6 (BCS ranked) Boise and leapfrog the Big East once the time is appropriate. It wouldn't make any difference this year - but 2008 is right around the corner. Don't get me wrong, I think the big boys will change the rules AGAIN if that happens... but if the MWC was smart; they would snag Boise or Fresno now and prepare to sue.

I think they should invite Boise, Fresno, and UNT before the BCS changes the rules.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.
