Nah, you don't want them. Trust me.

I dont know about that. Of the options---Army---of course---but that never seems to work out.

So, assuming Army says no---your looking at Texas St, LaTech, ULL, Liberty, UMass, Georgia St, or UConn (football only). Thats about the best of whats on the draft board. Texas St replaces the Texas presence and has potential---but thats about it. LaTech and LLU have western division geography, are good recruiting areas, and have have a proven ability to field pretty good football teams on a fairly regular basis. UConn and UMass are state flagships and have good academics if your looking to replace the academic rep of SMU. Liberty is my wild card. Yeah---there's definite baggage there. But this is a school that has plenty of money and is willing to spend it in order to be a consistent athletic performer. Thats probably the only available replacement school that would have SMU like money behind its athletic department.

Whatever happens, I think its time to go back to divisions and create some annual regional rivalries for the fans to sink their teeth into. I think divisionless play is less fun and worries too much about a CCG upset losing a slot in the CFP. If the conference champ is ready for a CFP slot---it wont lose in the CCG. Its not worth worrying about.

No, no, no!

Easy for you to say, you’re in the Big 12. I mean absolutely no disrespect to any of those schools or fans, but No!!!!

… and I’m going insane with rage hearing morons talking about adding Buffalo, UMass and other northeastern programs.

No MAC. No further CUSA. Maybe some Sunbelt. Definitely Army.
