They dont need us to get into the DFW area. Texas and Oklahoma already play in the Cotton Bowl and Texas A&M and Arkansas play at Jerry World most years. As has been said, all of the Big12 schools play TCU in Fort Worth every other year. And now it seems like all the other Cartel schools just schedule each other in Cowboys Stadium and bypass us completely. Ford and Apogee are beautiful stadiums but it's way sexier for the cartel schools to get big preseason matches in Arlington with each other on network TV.

I think you're only saving grace is that schools wanting to get DFW exposure would have a greater expectation of winning when scheduling North Texas or SMU instead of The B12/SEC alternatives. Seems like you could lure a team like Washington State in who doesn't want to risk losing to Texas A&M or TCU.

That's fair. And probably how we got Cal and Texas Tech to agree to games at Apogee. They have to weigh the risk/reward of playing us. If they lose, it looks bad for them.
