Still, can they recruit well and compete on the FCS level? I mean SDSU and NDSU still rule FCS and very few programs outside of that have the same success.

Yeah man I'm excited about this. As a former CFB player/coach and avid CFB fan. I love seeing the overall process. I want to attend a game. I'm not even a fan, alum or have any ties to UT-Rio Grande Valley Univ. UT Pan American/UT Brownsville.

Best Advice- AVOID 11 AM, 2:30 PM Kick Off games in the RGV. Tailgating would be downright dangerous August-October. Officials will get heat stroke. Actually, just Ban day time games all together in the valley.

Congratulations to the new program. Im sure its an exciting time for this new college!

I know it’s not a very popular school but it would be awesome to see a Tennessee Tech video. They are planning to move to the sunbelt after upgrading their stadium. Go Golden Eagles!!!

@@konstantinpobedonotsev5589 Wally is a friggin cancer. They don't want football at UALR simply because it'd create second recruiting void in the state for them. ASU owns the NEA and the upper Delta. They can't do anything about ASU, but there was no way they'd allow a school in their system to play in Little Rock. They'd have to compete with the city school in a place where people are much more loyal to the Rock than to the U of A. Arkansas is a bully. A baseball school that thinks it's special. ASU has more bowl appearances in the last decade. UAPB has a better record. It's a joke of a school.

Can't wait for some home games.

Probably be as good as UTEP. It would be cool if they joined Conference USA. Sam Houston, UTEP and UTRGV in the same conference would be good for the conference.

I really don't have an opinion about this, other than I find this development interesting at least. If UTRGV plans on being a solid hub for collegiate sports, whether for FCS or FBS in the future, then they need a foundation in place. It looks like they're acting the part.

Which is part of the reason the top Texas schools don’t accomplish as much as they should. State of Alabama has 2 Power programs and only half a dozen lower level. Texas has 6 power 4 schools and 10+ lower level programs. Dividing up the talent amongst 10+ more programs even in a larger state makes a difference
