If it get Charlotte out of the A-10 it is a great move.

Only if it gets them into a better league. The A10 is the best non-BCS conference for basketball most years. If the conference would drop the dead weight (Fordham, Duquesne, LaSalle, and St. Bonaventure) it'd be a top 5 conference most seasons. Not the best geographical fit, but it provides the best opportunity at the moment.

Fortunately, Charlotte is in a very attractive television market for BCS conferences. The ACC is pretty much out of the question with the market penetration in NC already, but Jim Leavitt (or maybe it was the chancellor/AD of USF) said that two BCS conferences were watching us closely, so BCS is a possibility down the road if the school doesn't fug this opportunity up.

In 10 years we'll be pushing 35,000 students (similar to USF size when they started football) and in a top 20 city.

Funny how the A-10 is "the best non-BCS conference for basketball" most years, but that is one of the biggest sports Charlotte under-performs in.

Men's Soccer is ranked pre-season top 25. Women's soccer has been on fire the last couple years. Men's golf has been constantly ranked high in national polls. Men's and Women's track and field have won a ridiculous number of consecutive A-10 Conference Championships up until last year where the women tied indoor w/ Dayton and didn't win outdoor. But before that they had won every indoor and outdoor conference championship for years.

Women's bball made it to the NCAA tourney. The baseball team has played strong. The school has produced quite a few All-Americans over the last however many years including those from Men's golf, cross country, both men's AND women's track and field, and women's soccer.

Men's basketball has not seen anywhere near the success as many of the other programs at UNCC.

It's really sad that the team with the most resources is the one that under-performs the most.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
