AND.....If ODU is spending that kind of money they sure as hell ain't getting their monies worth. No one down here where most of the U.S.population is moving knows very little or nothing about ODU. I saw nothing in today's Dallas Morning News or Fort Worth Star Telegram on ODU. Moral of Story: This projected Alliance conference is still too far flung for a non AQ conference to have a real chance to succeed and with schools neither regions know much about to boot.

And no one here knows anything about pUNT so who cares? Here being the 9th most populated state in the country and one of the fastest growing states. We do know something about ODU though, so moral of the story is neither of you are relevant anywhere outside of your immediate area (and they are much more relevant in their market than you are in yours).

Have to agree. They sell out their 14k season ticket allotment in football and have a waiting list of 3k for season tickets every year.

If pUNT was doing that they'd be a lock. They aren't which is why they are just a potential candidate. No one is trying to hold pUNT back, just no one is giving them anything till they actually go out and earn something on the field or in the stands.

Oh I get it! Their letters are UNT... and a "punt" is an unfortunate play in football where a team gives the ball away on purpose.. so you can place a letter "p" in front of UNT, and it's a kind of slang insult!
