What got the guy from JMU to transfer to TX State? JMU was on a run last season where they were in discussions of a NY6 Bowl, or should have been in the discussion except for some silly rule.
Is there some TX State alumni/donors suddenly ponying up big money to make their program a SBC Champ contender?
I was always worried that if TX State ever really got serious with athletics, that us and other middle to lesser funded SBC programs could be in trouble. They are smack dab in the middle of the College Station-Austin-San Antonio "triangle" that probably is hurting them a bit, especially with UTSA's recent success.
However, they have a university President who is VERY serious about the Bobcats becoming successful athletically, especially in football. He's made it clear he won't accept mediocrity. We're about to see how that plays out for them.
