The beginning of the story focuses on Rice scheduling to play at A&M in 2013, but reading down a few paragraphs:

To the degree that we can we'd like to play a guarantee game that generates considerable revenue for us each year. We would like to play an FCS team at home each year. If we can work out the dates and the arrangements we would like to play Houston every year and then the fourth non-conference game, assuming we're going to have eight conference games, we would like to have a home-and-home. To get there is going to require some real moving around and some real negotiating.

This stood out to me when I heard it on the news last night. Just substitute SMU / TCU for UH, and stop scheduling the "guarantee game" against top 25 schools (or at least, not top 10), and this might be our ideal schedule as well.

Sounds like a plan to me, but Rice U has that SWC background and city of Houston. We have a bit more to over-come to get similar schools up to Denton and Apogee Stadium.

What CUSA will do immediately for us once in is give us a great conference home and home with schools that Denton & Denton County Newcomers will have heard about. I'd love to know how many DFW alums La Tech, Tulane, Rice and Tulsa have; also all the other CUSA school in the East division, too.

Wouldn't it be great to see UNT schedule Iowa State, TCU, Baylor and even Iowa of the Big 10 at Apogee Stadium (among others)? . Like sales, you just have to ask them with the worse thing any of the schools like that can tell you is....no.

GMG!

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.
