Yes. Was originally a houston recruit.

There is no reason they won't be able to refill their basketball roster after their players leave

If we brought the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders in and have them seated at a table as the fans walked in and they signed autographs and they "Cheered" for the entire game would we have 25,000? Heck, it might be worth a try - create some buzz!

That's an easy question to answer...what other "game" in town does San Antonio have going on right now? Other than the Spurs, San Antonio has nothing else going on, so why not go to a football game, especially when it's the only game of its kind in town during football season? They had buzz by 1)being a new kid on the block and 2)bringing something that none of the other schools in SA can bring...a D-I program.

Plus its a gigantic school with a billion alumni, most of which don't go to far from home.

Not buying it! Why doesn't North Texas draw then? McMurry NCAA Division 111 school beat UTSA. Explain why no one else in the state - Houston ( Billion Alumns), Rice, North Texas, etc draw. My point is you took the easy way out saying they are the only show in town. We all know that. Why don't we find out what their marketing people did?[/quote]
Nobody is discounting marketing but you are clueless if you think the UTSA situation is anything like UNT or Lamar. The just started their program, brought a name coach in, and are headed to D1. Better comparisons are USF and UCF.

In 2010 Georgia Tech averaged 46.5K in a stadium that holds 55K. Their student enrollment is 20.5K.

RGIII was a once a lifetime player for Baylor and their men's bball team cheats/extorts. After they lose RGIII and six players off thier men's bball team, it will be business as usual in Waco. Their women's team could have another year of success though...

I'll be interested to see what becomes of Drew. He's almost friend-less in the profession, and he's not particularly discreet. It's been rumored for 3 years now that the NCAA is hot on his trail, it's why Memphis cancelled their interview, pre-Pastner etc. At some point that stack of cards is coming down, cause you don't kids like Deuce & Q to Waco, w/o greasing the Cliftons. Connecting the dots on Perry Jones and Pierre Jackson isn't difficult either

Memphis was interested in Drew at one point? Amazing Baylor wouldnt be squeaky clean after murder / coverup.
