AAC Hoops Tourney Will Stay At Dickies Arena
I like the current location. If they want to centralize, then I would pick either Nashville or Atlanta. -

Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.
I agree with you. But I guess my question is whether a different, higher level would exist in the non-power setup. IOW, are TCU, Baylor, SMU, UH, Tulane, and others creating a level of play that wouldn't include schools like ours? I'd seriously doubt that they could do that. Maybe they wouldn't let us play them and keep us from being in a conference with them, but I'd think that we would be able to play at this hypothetical scenario. Maybe our conference setup would be with other regional teams outside of Texas' old SWC teams again, but I'd imagine we would still be on equal footing with those schools. -

Well, NFL team fire coaches after losing season, why wouldn't their NFL-lite programs? When these top 24-48 teams breakaway, my guess is that they will reorganize around geography again and have 4-8 divisions that play a wildcard playoff system like the NFL does. For those that don't make the playoffs, the other bowls will setup games for these teams to play each other in a traditional ending for many teams. Sure, A&M may schedule spares now, but when the breakoff occurs and they play Texas, OU, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Auburn as Division mates every year, while playing Washington, Michigan State, and Virgina Tech in OOC, their fans might get mad at 7-5, but the university will make so much more because all of their games are ones that people will pay to go see, networks will pay hugely to broadcast, and the players from HS up to non-power level college will drool over the payments and attention that they will get, which would dwarf anything we are seeing even today. They don't need G5/FCS wins because teams today are opting out of spare bowl games because they know the players don't want to play in them. The CFB world needs an enema, badly. It got way to fat, both at the top levels of the sport, as well as in the sheer number of FCS schools who moved up to FBS just to get paid more by playing more OOC games, which fans of the big schools and their networks absolutely hate with a passion. -

The P4 programs would just replace us with 1AA school. I would like to see the G6 programs separate from the P4's and set up their own football playoff system . Regarding UNT's position in the pecking order, the only school keeping us from moving up is UNT. With a few exception, we have poor alumni financial support. That, coupled with poor attendance in our football and men's basketball programs , puts us where we are. It's way past time to keep making excuses and blaming others for our lot in life.
