Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 5305302, member: 264"] Reportedly, UNLV and/or its athletic department could not afford the MW buyout. USAFA, more of a wait and see approach. Maybe the 9th or whatever Lone Star State football program and an unaccomplished athletic department to boot, reportedly rapidly fast growing Texas State has about 40K students on 2 campuses each about 1/2 hour from Austin. At first glance, not massively intriguing. On the other hand, smack in the middle of a rapidly growing state and economy, Texas Friday Night Lights football religion, likely large alumni bases in DFW, Houston, Austin/San Antonio, etc, and potential to recruit guys leaving UT, A&M, Texas Tech, Houston, TCU, and other schools. Wouldn’t be entirely surprising for some alumni with oil and ranching pockets. Maybe it works out for Texas State. Worst case, the school’s likely to be better known nationally than it currently is as a Sun Belt member. [/QUOTE]
