Wait so your athletic department trying to hint to people that you guys are moving up from the AAC is just a gigantic troll and everyone who follows or is involved with USF knows that the future is bleak and is just trying to laugh as the ship sinks? This is like grief management? If so, I applaud you and will join you in laughing at your poor circumstances.

UAB will most likely be top 5 in football and basketball in the AAC every year. We bring really good facilities and untapped potential in the form of bad CUSA media deal making us impossible to watch on popular platforms.
Can’t wait to see what we can do with exposure, better competition, and our new facilities.
And of course the national bump we will get when the 30 for 30 on The Return is finally done

Shocknawe thinks ECU could be the flagship of the AAC They can make some noise right out of the gate with the home game against UNC. It’s them or Memphis after SMU goes to the Big 10

If some of their fans are disgusted, that certainly doesn't seem to be a sentiment that's shared by most other AAC fans. After all, UNT has had NCAA and NIT teams in 2021 and 2022, and their FB team played in a 2021 bowl game.
Perhaps what we're seeing is the beginning of an intense rivalry between the two Dallas/Fort Worth schools.

RE: Which AAC-14 (AAC 2.0) schools will emerge as national brands after UC/UCF/UH leave?
I’d put USF at the top of that list. I know it hasn’t looked good, but I’ve seen where our Coach had to start from and let me tell you, Charlie Strong ass ****** this program into the dirt. Jeff Scott has come in and applied the “Clemson way” and literally tore the program down to nothing, let a ton of guys walk, recruited the hell out of the portal and got some good, high character guys.
I expect a stronger season, but I have no idea the final win total. Our schedule this year is ridiculous and easily harder than it has been in quite a while. If I had to guess, I think we go bowling.
New coaches, a lot of talent and Jeff’s system is starting to click and the culture is coming back around. The new IPF has gotten the team pumped about our future and the OCS is coming 2026. That will be about $400 million in investments into the program.
I like our direction.

Out of the new comers I would say UTSA. Memphis and SMU are what we are so out of the left behinds I say ECU and USF(both has to). The east should be cakewalk. Also this new conference definitely can't continue with the P6 moniker. They pretty much put a bunch of school names in a hat and randomly picked the new schools.

.
UNT and SMU have played fairly regularly since 1922. And to be totally honest SMU has an overwhelming lead in the series (34-6-1). It's not really a rivalry. UNT hasn't won enough games to make that claim. Our universities have very different cultures. SMU is an expensive small private school with very good academics. UNT is a middle class large state university with improving but average academics.
As the Dallas/Fort Worth population and economy has boomed, UNT has made gains. SMU has already lost regional standing to TCU when the Horned Frogs were able to land in the Big12. The Ponies can't cultivate a sizable fan base due to their size an exclusiveness (TCU may be a small private university, but they are actually in the city of Fort Worth). So, SMU continues to rely on their deep pockets (University Park is the 12th most affluent city in the United States per capita). This new age of NIL is tailor made for SMU. It's the smart move for them.
If SMU remains in the AAC, maybe the series will develop into a real rivalry, but UNT will have to step up their football NILs from the $10-$20K range, into the $36K and up range. It could happen, but I think the major UNT donors that would fund it are going to wait and see what kind of legislation ends up governing all these new NIL collectives before they commit to something like that.
