I travel to Houston often. I, actually, like the city a lot. You won't find me in the upscale areas (except for meetings and I stay at the Galleria). I hang out in the old parts of town that have...

And football competition, if you look at the rankings this year. Breaking it down for you, the AAC couldn't hold a candle to CUSA this year. Basketball may be a different story, but only because...

I agree with you. I am suggesting a whole new position strictly dedicated to this person. I do believe that if any Prez would do it, it would be this one.

We have the advantage in name, facilities, and conference. The belt is the lowest in the pecking order of conferences. We have much bigger competition from many other G5 teams than ULL. If another...

Yep! If I were President of Tech, I would hire a full time person who has a sole purpose of moving us up to a P5 conference in X number of years. That may mean going to another G5 conference first....

Exactly! I studied it for 4 years, but didn't get a degree in that field. I would think we would be hiring the best we could afford right now with this as their full time job. It is just too...

Yes, they can use that. However, it takes a complete marketing package, not JUST that. We are much closer and have the advantage of being higher on the chain in conference affiliation. Plus, our...

The HOD TV numbers are a tool we need to use. We can grab tv viewers and that is good for any conference!

I agree with what you are stating, but I think Tech has to think outside the box on this. It is difficult to replicate TCU - mostly due to market size. We need to be creative and change the way the...

Not trying to be obstinate..... I just think that all things are forever in flux. I don't have a clue what the landscape will look like in 5 years or 10 years from now, but I don't know much of...

I disagree. I don't see an end to the constant changes. Every year or so will bring about conference shuffling. It has been going on since the beginning - just sped up over the last 10 years. It...

I agree.... And we should and will jump, if given the opportunity.

I don't blame those that left, but they really got fooled in that whole transition to what they THOUGHT was the Big East. They...

Serious question: How does a huge endowment help a conference? I understand the advantage of it for your school.

Yeah, but they are still a name. They will recover. I don't think the private schools will ever bring much more than they do now.

I hope they figure it out soon. Empty stadiums and poor tv rankings. If they want name programs - they should take Southern Miss and Tech.

Recognizable name doesn't necessarily equate to casual fans in the seats. We will get a great tv rating, though. Also, I expect to see 25,000 plus there.

We have done a poor job in Louisiana and need to keep the separation growing in the minds of the people there. I know they find it hard to grasp. I travel a LOT (mostly in Texas, but all over). I...

I totally agree with you, but I wish our own fans and alumni would stop thinking of us as "lesser". We have a bigger name than most realize and our facilities (while needing improvement) are getting...

The AAC would be doing good to get name teams. I would consider Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss, and UTEP to have the most name recognition in CUSA - UTEP being too far out of the footprint.
