Denver Post reporting BYU likely to stay in MWC

Damn, my family reunion would be too big for that baseball field.

It's still nicer than than the hole Tech plays in.

Damn all of you to hell for making me defend Drew and Memphis.

UNT is public...SMU is private...

they don't fight for endowment dollars...and June Jones isn't worried about recruiting against Todd Dodge and his punk kid.

it's like UH and Rice...they get along fine.

I would see where Memphis wouldnt be worried about a new CUSA member having a great academic record. After all, everyone knows how much focus Memphis puts on academics. Acutally, the truth is, by academic standards, Memphis belongs in the Sunbelt!

North Texas brings nothing to CUSA and a decision by CUSA to take North Texas over Tech would spell more disastrous than when they chose UTEP. We all know how well that worked out.

[bulldogfan1]

Hope you don't end up with a stomach ache. Not a flame, just facts. Tech has the smallest budget, smallest market and worst location of any of the FBS schools that you named.

Does anyone have the map to show this rookie, the placement of Ruston within the CUSA footprint? How many times have we been through this?

EXERPT FROM A POST ON ANOTHER BOARD.

7. Academics are always bannered about, but I don't think it will be a factor. Actually La Tech and NT are not far apart. Some stats from "College Stats" are retainment LT 72%, NT 74%; Graduation rate: LT 47%, NT 44%, Acceptance rate; LT 66%, NT 65%: 75 percentile ACT; LT 20 (SAT not reported), NT 21(SAT 1200) and student to faculty ratio; LT 88 to 12, NT 91 to 9, From schools sites, NT's admission standards are higher. La Tech reguires incoming freshmen to have either a 2.5/4.0 hs GPA, top quarter of class, or 23 ACT or 1050 SAT. NT automatically admits top 10% of hs class compared to LT top 25%. Next 15% at NT require 950 SAT or 20 ACT and second quarter 1050 SAT or 23 ACT (Any student would gain admission to La Tech with these scores). As far as degrees offered bachelors; NT 97, LT 82; masters; NT 101, LT 57; Doctors; NT 48, LT 9.

this isn't true...Memphis women's basketball plays at the 2,500 seat Elma Roane Field House



Memphis built a 750 seat multi million dollar softball park:



and Daddy Warbucks wrote us check to totally redo our 2,000 seat baseball stadium:

Nows thats funny and cetainly something to be proud of! Man, the more you post, the more I believe Memphis belongs in the Sunbelt! That womens Gym, looks like a middle school, and a check presentation for 3 million? In the corporate world, thats chump change and should actually be an embarassment. We have private donors that do that at least once a year. Just no presentation. :icon_wink:

right, cause Houston is some academic powerhouse...

we already have our "dungeons and dragons club" (Rice, Tulane, and SMU)

they do a fine job keeping the GPA up.

Average ACT of freshmen entering Tech is 23.5.

they give a million a YEAR...this was a one time payment (Memphis matched the donation) to redo the baseball stadium now called FedExPark...to go along with FedExForum...and the FedEx Institute of Technology.

Fred gives over 750k on top of that in annual personal donations...the FedEx CFO and and several VP's all give well over 250k.

WOW and you are still the CUSA step child. NOW THATS IMPRESSIVE and certainly an indication that you are doing less with more!

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Go away JUCO, don't own your own stadium, little insecure boy.

lol, what? Memphis helped FOUND CUSA...we're a charter member...we can't be kicked out, and we have veto power...along with USM, Tulane, UAB, and Houston (UH is a charter member, but didn't start playing til year 2)

[gomemphistigers1]

we lease the best *****.

[Cool Hand Clyde]

Aillet Stadium is a much better facility than the Liberty Bowl.

That JUCO education of yours is probably leased to isn't it? Did you even attend?

Step child in terms of what you have accomplished. With the exception of basketball, the only thing anyone knows about you is that your mascot is the Blue Raiders. :icon_wink:
