UCF i think will be invited to join the Big East which would be awesome for UNT.... even better would be Houston to the Big East but i just dont see that happening....

UH is the leading choice due to a much larger TV market. Their is still some infighting in the BE with some members favoring an eastern school. TCU needs a travel partner and UH fits that bill. Combine a larger TV market, new FB stadium and rennovated BB arena, with a larger recruiting base and UH looks solid. Don't forget, USF does not want UCF in the BE.

Dont think they have a new football stadium....don't think they even have the money...they will be lucky to have one in another 4-5 years.

I don't know which they'll choose because there are several factors. Houston has the larger TV market by about 600,000hh but they would have to share some of that with Rice (if only Houston teams are considered) whereas UCF has the Orlando market alone. UCF has the larger facilities; 12,000 more seats in their football stadium and a couple of thousand more in their basketball arena. South Florida also needs a travel partner and UCF would fill that bill. Florida is almost as fertile a recruiting ground as Texas with three less state schools for competition. Houston has had the stronger teams in the past but UCF won CUSA last year and has shown a lot of improvement. It's just too close to call.

However, when the Big East goes to 12 teams then I believe that whichever is not selected on the first increase will be selected on the second (assuming that TCU is still a part of the Big East).

By the way, Fort Worth is going to have to change their sobriquet from "Where the West Begins" to "Where the East Leaves Off."

      I think that McCarney’s exit just burned the decision makers here to ever pay for a name coach with actual experience as a successful FBS coach from a previous stop. Like I’ve always said, this place needed a head coach that would galvanize the entire UNT Family. Make us want to follow him because we have seen that he can do something. Make us believe that we aren’t just some spare place on the CFB map, like most media and fans think outside of gmg.com. But the portal and NIL sort of burns all of that up now. When you can’t keep talent because it can be bought away at any time, the coaches at a place like this can’t afford to miss on recruiting, development, or coaching hires. It makes it really hard to build momentum in any fashion, knowing that your players and coaches are bought the moment that a Power School calls.

      I also give to the collectives and would like my money back from every athlete that transferred. I know it doesn’t work that way though. After losing ALMOST all of our good players from the football team AND basketball team to the transfer portal, I do question why I continue to give to the collectives. The answer, I guess, is that maybe it helps us attract new players to replace the good players that we used to have who left us through the portal. That is the only reason I am still giving. Anyone have any other reasons to help justify it?

      Name an upside...any. I wanted litrell gone more than most, but we settled for thrift store coach instead? Sure, he speaks instead of mumbles, but there are no results

      I have given to Harry's collective as did others and still saw our roster decimated by other poaching schools. I realize this is a necessary evil, but it's discouraging to give hard earned money when an athlete is going to leave regardless.
