No offense, but I think its funny

Yes.......that is true. But WTF does that have to do with starting a football program???

Also, Isnt Stanford and Duke more selective than UT???

Well, I believe it relates to your growth argument.

Sure, UTSA is a fast-growing campus if they just let anybody into the damn school. Also, IIRC, the people that are on UT's waiting list (so to speak) get placed at UTSA and the other schools in the system while they await entry into Austin.

So if you're going to bring campus growth as an issue in starting a football program, you should be aware of exactly how your growth is happening.

UT-Austin (2004) 23,008 applications / 11,788 accepted (51.2%)
UTSA (2004) 10,331 applications / 10,260 accepted (99.3%)

If you accept everybody but crackheads and hookers, your growth rate will indeed skyrocket.

And just so I can be an asshole...

Yes, and even they have football programs where other sports have a larger stamp on their respective communities.

In case you hadn't heard, Duke basketball is kind of big (and what a surprise, it's in one of the largest college basketball regions in the country).

Texas is widely recognized as the home of football, North Carolina, not so much.

How much must it suck to be one of those 71 people not accepted to UTSA??

Shhhhh! They probably haven't awakened from their heroin-induced comas to see their rejection letters yet.

Yeah, but who makes those ed up rules...........UT system. That is why UTSA needs to depart and be University of San Antonio.

Oh and by the way I graduated from UTSA and I am currently the manager of people that graduated from Art Center in Cali.....a few from Auburn and one from A&M .......so obviously a degree from a D1 university is what really matters, not where you go necessarily.

But, back to the matter at hand.....UTSA should have a football program period.

I never said your (nor anybody's) degree from UTSA was not worthy of praise, I only said that anybody with the motor skills to fill out an application and a FAFSA form were accepted to UTSA, which creates ungodly growth.

My best friend and his sister, both successful in their careers, graduated from UTSA and their little brother is going there for his grad work.

I realise that......I said the UT system created the rules so UT remains the Lord of all UT schools.

That still doesnt hide the fact that UTSA is large enough to support a DI school and its really stupid and a nobrainer to think otherwise.
