Honest question, Why is Texas state?

good question. it seems like a back and forth between UNT and Texas State, one for obvious market size advantages, the other for more immediate football success. Your other option is Rice.

Texas State seems to be the most workable of that trio

Haha, Texas State. 

Random fact, can you believe that Kathy Ireland is 61?

 

As a 41-year old man, I remember many a days with my SI Swimsuit issue(s) and getting it solely for Kathy Ireland in my 11-14 year old age range. Thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world...and my magazines had the stains to prove it.

I don't agree that it's a must but it wouldn't hurt.  I don't think conference realignment is closely aligned to winning as people think. I think winning draws fans and eyeballs and that is important to realignment.

I would love to agree... but, as of recent years -- USF has nothing to show. 

There is a perception about USF that we haven't won anything of notoriety. 

I remember when TCU was coming to the Big East. Had an undefeated season and went straight to the Big12. 

I bet these conferences WANT justification to bring in USF.

Cool ... so all we need to do is get into a conference with all Florida schools and we'll have it made attendance-wise. Sounds like a plan!

Or play recognized opponents from in state or out. This was the first search result/article which was about whether last years Alabama game would be in the top 5 most attended games. We both know that there would be no current AAC opponent that would fall in any “most attended“ game list and most of them would be at the very bottom of such a list. I appreciate you feel it shouldn’t matter who we play but it does and always will to the vast majority of fans (I know they are not real fans). 

And we both saw that there was only one BCS conference mate that made that list, and the circumstances it took to get them there.

Point is, going forward, we should be at a level of consistent winning that the opponent wouldn't be any kind of significant factor in attendance. We'll not be trying to fill a cavernous RayJay so new conference mates ability to fill seats should pretty much be a non-factor in attractiveness to us.
