EPISODE 521 College Football Guru Phil Steele on ECU, ACC & More by Pirate Radio 92.7FM Greenville
The previous post covered my grades on how the strength of today’s four largest college athletic conferences compare with their previous versions twenty years ago in 2006. Here's a brief recap. In my estimation, only the SEC (which expanded from 12 to 16 teams over that 20 year period) has shown an upgrade in competition levels since 2006. I awarded the SEC a “B” grade. The Big 12 (which lost four of its prominent members to the SEC) received a C+ for their nimble addition of several relevant regional sports schools. A “D” grade was handed down to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Their nonsensical addition of West Coast newcomers Cal (Berkeley) and Stanford in 2024 crashed the ACC's overall score. Speaking of lousy grades, I awarded a D- to the Big Ten Conference as its recently-annexed properties have resulted in a BIG thud. From the east (Maryland and Rutgers) to the west (Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington), the Big Ten’s new coast-to-coast configuration has failed to improve this conference for either sports fans or student/athletes. How have the five mid-major conferences fared with recent expansion issues? These other conferences (nicknamed the “Group of Five”) can be quite entertaining but rarely win national championships. They must compete against the “Big Four” major conferences featuring the wealthiest college sports programs. American Athletic Conference (AAC) The AAC has only been around since the year 2013. There were 10 initial AAC members and now 14 in 2026. Only Memphis, South Florida, and Temple remain from 2013. The ACC raided Conference USA to obtain several of its new members. Army and Navy – What's not to like about these two additions? They bring the focus of the entire college football world to their annual game played in early December. Grades – A Charlotte – The 49ers have been perpetual cellar dwellers in most sports. Charlotte, North Carolina sports fans are more likely to follow UNC, Duke, and Clemson. Yawn. Grade – D- East Carolina – The Pirates have made the NCAA baseball playoffs ten times since 2013 and have occasionally contended for the AAC title in football. A hearty fan base makes ECU a fun place to watch sports. Grade – B Florida Atlantic – A member of the AAC since 2023, this school is best known for its men's basketball team and having a great beach nearby. Sadly, most local sports fans don’t give a hoot about the FAU Owls yet. Grade – C- North Texas – The Mean Green had a brilliant 12-2 football season in 2025 in the school's third year as part of the AAC. The other sports are lagging behind. Grade – C Rice – Another third year AAC member, the Houston-based Owls have been an athletics flop in their new conference. Grade – D Tulane – Green Wave football program has rejuvenated Tulane athletics down in the Crescent City. Unfortunately, the remainder of the school’s sports teams rarely lead the AAC. Grade – C Tulsa – Golden Hurricane football and men's basketball programs have been on the decline in the past decade. That's a shame, because Tulsa fans desperately want to get behind the city’s lone major college athletics team. Grade – C- UAB – Try as I might, I'm having trouble remembering any recent sports successes for the Blazers. Grade – D- UTSA – Like Tulsa, the Roadrunners have the entire San Antonio market ready for their athletics programs to take off. Other than some recent success in football, UTSA sports still appear to be taking a siesta. Grade – C- AAC overall grade for expansion: C- Conference USA (C-USA) I am not going to provide individual grades to Conference USA member schools. It is not their fault that C-USA management has done such a lousy job of keeping this conference together and relevant in major college sports. The conference has seen a 100% turnover in the past 20 years. Schools being added have generally been former FCS top teams such as Delaware, Sam Houston, and Jacksonville (AL) State. Things have declined so badly in Conference USA (“How badly have they declined?”) that longtime member Louisiana Tech recently agreed to pay a reported $8 million to buy its way out of C-USA. The Bulldogs’ jubilant athletic department and fans are rejoining the Sun Belt Conference this fall. Louisiana Tech will save more than $1 million annually in travel costs formerly required to travel to schools within the far-flung Conference USA. Longtime C-USA holdovers Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State deserve a better fate. Save your money and call the Sun Belt in a couple of years! C-USA overall grade for expansion – F- Mid-American Conference (MAC) In contrast to Conference USA, the MAC has remained remarkably stable for the past 20 years. Eleven of the dozen MAC members in 2006 remain a part of the conference today. Northern Illinois (which had been part of the MAC for 30 years) is leaving this fall to become part of the Mountain West Conference. In a couple of curious moves, the Mid-American Conference has added two new members recently. UMass – The 2025 addition of the University of Massachusetts (which is at least in regional proximity to longtime MAC member Buffalo) was rather questionable. Athletic success at Umass has been nearly invisible over the past decade. After just one year in the MAC, the Minutemen have been a net negative in sports for the Mid-American Conference. Grade: D- Sacramento State – Seriously? Yes, the Mid-American Conference will add this longtime FCS member from California to its football schedules this fall. Sacramento (the #20 TV market) is 2,500 miles from the middle of Ohio. The Hornets will be a football-only member of the Mid-American Conference. For the usually stable MAC, this is a rather bizarre expansion move. Grade: F MAC overall grade for expansion: D- Mountain West Conference (Mountain West) The Mountain West has survived a few departure tremors in recent years. Of the nine Mountain West members 20 years ago, only Air Force, New Mexico, UNLV, and Wyoming remain. Let’s review the teams which have come aboard since 2006. Hawaii – The Rainbow Warriors (2012) have posted winning football records in just four of their 14 seasons in the Mountain West. The other athletic squads are nearly invisible in the post-season tournaments. Hawaii remains a dream road trip destination for visiting teams and their fans, though. Grade: C- Nevada – At least the men’s basketball team has appeared in the NCAA March Madness event five times over the past nine seasons. Otherwise, fans of the Nevada Wolfpack (which joined the Mountain West in 2012) haven’t had much to howl about lately. Grade: C- North Dakota State – This former FCS division powerhouse football program is stepping-up to play against the big boys beginning this fall. The move is for football only. The Bison are a terrific geographic fit for the Mountain West Conference, too. This makes sense. Grade: A Northern Illinois – The Huskies will join the Mountain West this fall after 30 years in the Mid-American Conference. Northern Illinois’ sports resume has weakened in recent years. Other than bringing the #3 TV market (Chicago) to the Mountain West, this move makes little sense. Grade: D San Jose State – The Spartans (members since 2013) have appeared in four bowl games over the past decade. On the other hand, the men’s basketball team has won just 33% of its conference games over the past 13 years. Grade: C- UTEP – This longtime Conference USA member joins the Mountain West this fall. UTEP’s football team has been downright awful in recent years. Despite a sports slump, UTEP bring strong fan support from the El Paso area. They should be a fine geographic fit for the Mountain West. Grade: C Mountain West overall grade for expansion: C Sun Belt Conference (Sun Belt) The Sun Belt has been nicknamed the “Junior SEC”. This conference has grown from 10 members in 2006 to 14 today. Only Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, South Alabama, Troy, and UL-Monroe remain from 2006. Appalachian State – The Mountaineers (members since 2014) have been a top football contender in the Sun Belt. Their enthusiastic fans make road trips to Boone, North Carolina a fun stop. Grade: B Coastal Carolina – Speaking of fun stops, how about a visit to Myrtle Beach to play Coastal Carolina? The 2017 Sun Belt addition of the Chanticleers has been a terrific addition for the conference. Coastal’s football team has played in six straight bowl games. The baseball team won the men’s College World Series in 2016. Grade: A Georgia Southern – Would it surprise you to learn that the Golden Eagles from Statesboro, Georgia have played in seven bowl games over the past eight seasons? The other sports programs at Georgia Southern need to step it up. Grade: B Georgia State – The 2013 addition of the Panthers from Atlanta has not added a lot of sports notoriety. However, the men’s basketball program has earned four invitations to March Madness in the past 11 seasons. Grade: C Louisiana Tech – The Bulldogs paid dearly ($8 million) to escape Conference USA beginning this fall. Louisiana Tech brings several highly competitive sports teams. They are a perfect geographic addition to the Sun Belt Conference Western division. Grade: A Marshall – This begins Marshall’s fourth year in the Sun Belt Conference. The Thundering Herd has been a top football competitor and competes well in other major sports. Grade: B Old Dominion – ODU came into the Sun Belt in 2022. The Monarchs from Norfolk, VA posted a nifty 10-3 football record in 2025. Old Dominion has been relatively quiet in its other sports, though. Grade: C Southern Miss – The Golden Eagles (Sun Belt members since 2022) have been a dominant team in recent NCAA college baseball post-season tournaments. Last season’s 2025 football team improved from a miserable 1-11 record in 2024 to a hopeful 7-6 mark. Grade: B Sun Belt overall grade for expansion: B+ Bonus Conference! The newly revived Pac-12 Conference “states” its case in 2026 The most prominent names of the long-time Pac-12 Conference bolted for better TV money into the Big Ten and ACC in 2024. That left holdovers Oregon State and Washington State “homeless”. The Beavers and Cougars have bagged a few top teams from the Mountain West Conference to help them rebuild the Pac-12 starting this fall. Boise State is the biggest name coming to the new Pac-12. The Broncos have fielded a nationally ranked football program several times in the past few decades. Other Mountain West migrants include Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Washington State. Texas State (formerly of the Sun Belt Conference) will also join the Pac-12 this fall. In case you didn’t notice, each of the eight new Pac-12 schools has the last name of “State”! Summary Only the Sun Belt Conference has earned a positive score (B+) from SwampSwami among the “Group of Five” mid-major conferences. The Sun Belt is the only major college athletic conference opting to maintain two divisions (East and West) to minimize travel expenses for its member schools and lessen the travel impact on their student/athletes. Bravo! The post Grading the Mid-Major Conference expansions – Part 2 appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
In this episode, we kick off our 2026 conference preview series with Part 1 of our Group of Six rundown, covering the American, Sun Belt and MAC. With coaching changes, transfer portal churn, new coordinators and a whole lot of roster turnover, we try to figure out which teams are actually built to contend and which ones are more mystery box than finished product. We start in the American, where UTSA, Navy, Memphis, Army, FAU, USF and ECU all have some version of a case, even if nearly every team comes with one glaring question. Then we move to the Sun Belt, where James Madison enters a new era with Billy Napier, Old Dominion has real intrigue, Louisiana and Troy headline the West, and nobody feels quite as loaded as last year. Finally, we close with the MAC, where Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan appear to be the class of the conference, while Toledo, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Bowling Green, Ohio and Eastern Michigan crowd into a very meaty middle. Plus: Dan’s questionable subtitle, a punny new vehicle at Coastal Carolina, Lunch Winfield, Goose Crowder, Sacramento State’s strange MAC arrival, Keldric Luster, and the looming joy of the Ball-Sac rivalry.

Florida football hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher in a decade. Now they've got one coming back, and he might just be getting started.The Stadium and Gale crew is breaking down the two position groups that could define Jon Sumrall's first season in Gainesville: the running backs and wide receivers. Jadan Baugh returns after rushing for 1,170 yards, earning All-SEC honors, and joining Emmitt Smith and Errict Rhett as the only underclassmen in program history to crack 1,000 in a season. Behind him, Florida quietly built one of the deepest backfields in the country, adding Evan Pryor from Cincinnati and London Montgomery from ECU while Duke Clark makes a push after a big spring.Then there's the receiver room, which might be the strength of the entire roster. Vernell Brown III led the team in receiving as a freshman All-SEC pick. Dallas Wilson set true freshman records in his very first start before injuries cut his season short. And Auburn transfer Eric Singleton Jr. arrives already knowing Buster Faulkner's offense from their Georgia Tech days, where he posted back-to-back 700-plus yard seasons. Add spring game standout Micah Mays Jr. and a stacked group of transfers and freshmen fighting for snaps, and Faulkner wasn't kidding when he said Florida can roll six or seven receivers at you.We get into all of it: how Faulkner uses Baugh, the battle for carries behind him, whether Dallas Wilson takes over as WR1, the Singleton scheme fit, the depth guys nobody's talking about yet, and whether this skill group is good enough to turn 4-8 into something real in year one under Sumrall.New episodes covering Florida Gators football, basketball, and baseball all year long.

¡Vamos con otra “lista negra”! ¿Por qué seguimos cayendo en la trampa? Seguro que a ti también te han saltado anuncios de dispositivos que se enchufan al mechero, imanes para los manguitos o pastillas "mágicas" que prometen reducir el consumo hasta un 25 por ciento. En el video de hoy, separamos la ficción de la realidad y denunciamos con nombres y apellidos los productos que considero un timo absoluto. La psicología del engaño El ser humano ama los atajos. Al igual que buscamos dietas milagro para no ir al gimnasio, queremos tecnología barata para no gastar gasolina. Estos productos no venden ingeniería, venden esperanza. Juegan con el "sesgo de confirmación": si gastas dinero en un imán, inconscientemente conduces de forma más suave para autoconvencerte de que funciona. El milagro no es el aparato, es tu pie derecho. El catálogo de los horrores: Analizamos los productos -Eco-OBD2 y similares: Los reyes de las tiendas online. Prometen reprogramar la ECU, pero al abrirlos solo encontramos un temporizador y luces LED. Es pura decoración que no interactúa con el cerebro del coche. -Imanes de combustible (Super Fuel Max): Prometen alinear moléculas de hidrocarburos. La realidad física es que la gasolina no es magnética y estos imanes no tienen efecto alguno en la combustión. Si funcionaran, todos los fabricantes los instalarían de serie para evitar multas de CO2. -Fuel Shark y NeoSocket: Dispositivos para el mechero que supuestamente estabilizan el sistema eléctrico. Contienen un condensador tan pequeño que es técnicamente incapaz de filtrar la carga del alternador. Un insulto a la inteligencia. -Pastillas de nanotecnología (MPG-Caps): Básicamente naftalina. Aunque pueden subir el octanaje de forma marginal, ensucian el sistema de inyección y pueden destruir la sonda lambda, provocando averías de cientos de euros. -El Turbonator: Una hélice metálica para la admisión. En lugar de ayudar, actúa como una restricción al paso del aire, reduciendo la eficiencia del motor y arriesgándose a una rotura catastrófica si una aspa se desprende. -Kits de HHO (Coche de Agua): Prometen quemar hidrógeno mediante electrólisis. Sin embargo, la Primera Ley de la Termodinámica es clara: gastas más energía generando ese hidrógeno a través del alternador de la que luego recuperas al quemarlo. ¿Hay algo que sí funcione? No todo es blanco o negro. Los limpiadores de inyectores de marcas reconocidas pueden ayudar si el motor tiene suciedad real o carbonilla, pero no hacen milagros en motores sanos. Por otro lado, los aditivos de teflón (como el antiguo Slick 50) son terreno pantanoso: aunque reducen la fricción en motores muy viejos, el teflón sólido puede obstruir conductos críticos en motores modernos y turbos. La teoría de la conspiración Muchos creen que las petroleras prohíben estos inventos. La lógica dice lo contrario: si alguien inventara un líquido de 20 euros que ahorrara un 10% real, los fabricantes de coches se pelearían por comprar la patente para cumplir las normativas de emisiones actuales. Consejos reales para ahorrar de verdad Si buscas eficiencia, olvida la magia y aplica la física: -Aerodinámica: Desmonta las barras de techo o portaequipajes que no uses. A 120 km/h, pueden subir el consumo casi un litro. -Neumáticos: Mantener la presión correcta reduce la resistencia a la rodadura y es totalmente gratis. -Mantenimiento: Un filtro de aire limpio es la mejor inversión de ahorro que puedes hacer. Anticipación: Mirar 200 metros por delante, dejar de acelerar ante un semáforo y evitar pisotones innecesarios ahorra más que cualquier coche híbrido mal conducido. El coche del día Volkswagen XL1 Para ahorrar de verdad, hace falta ingeniería extrema, no imanes. El XL1 demostró que se pueden homologar 0,9 l/100 km mediante fibra de carbono, una aerodinámica de récord (Cx 0,19) y tecnología puntera. Eso sí, costaba más de 111.000 euros. Ahorrar, a veces, sale muy caro. En conclusión: No busques soluciones de 20 euros para problemas que requieren tecnología de verdad. En el mundo del motor, los milagros no existen; existe la física. Y la física no se vende en AliExpress.

The tournament's #1 seed following their regular season championship, UTSA relied on their pitching staff on the way to the tournament finale, but ECU's Ethan Norby blew through the UTSA lineup to put an end to their season. There's a lot to unpack, including the Roadrunners' performance in the tournament, not receiving an at-large bid, and what the program will need to get back to the NCAA tournament next season.

Fredrik och Johan Thelin snackar mjukvara i bilar. Varför är det ens svårt? Varför har begreppet software defined vehicle ens blivit en grej? Conways lag gäller även här, och när man fått ordning på en del tekniska grunder så blir allt som vanligt ett organisationsproblem. Kan biltillverkarna komma på nästa stora grej kring tjänster och mjukvara för bilar? Eller är de för bilcentrerade? Vi diskuterar också hemautomatisering, hur kul det kunde bli med fler öppna API:er mot ens bil, varför man med mjukvara sparar en massa pengar på kabeldragning, och mycket mer.

© Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com On our political radar this week… The Trump Retribution Parade continues as his Department of Payback indicts James Comey for posting a picture of sea shells on social media. If that doesn’t work, they could try claiming the 6-foot-8 Comey's height poses an imminent threat to the safety of the President. New polling from the Detroit Chamber shows “Undecided” remains the leader in Michigan Democrats' battle for the U.S. Senate nomination. There's a new controversy in that race, with long-ago Tweets from Mallory McMorrow coming back to haunt her. Among Republicans, John James continues to lead Perry Johnson, Mike Cox, and the rest of the field. The one no-contest race: Jocelyn Benson has a 58-point lead in the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. The US Supreme Court has effectively repealed the last remnants of the Voting Rights Act, setting the stage for a possible new round of partisan gerrymanders. It comes as the last four black Republicans in Congress retire, leaving the GOP with the prospect of no black House members in 2027. The impact goes beyond the U.S. House of Representatives. In Michigan, it effectively eliminates majority-minority as a criterion for Michigan's Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission when it draws future state legislative district maps – quite possibly before the 2028 elections. The Donald Trump narcissism parade continues to grow. The latest: His snarling mug will now appear on commemorative U.S. passports, although Trump-free passports will continue to be available. And King Charles presented him with the ship's bell from the World War II submarine HMS Trump. One ominous sign: that ship was sold off and broken up for scrap in August 1971. In response to the war of words over election integrity, Secretary of State Benson has announced that 2.1 million outdated voter registrations have been canceled since 2019 or are in the cancellation process. For the first time ever, this includes over 180,000 dormant registrations of people who haven't voted in a single election in the last 20 years or longer. Control of the state Senate will be decided Tuesday when voters in Michigan's 35th Senate District will decide whether Democrat Chedrick Greene or Republican Jason Tunney will represent them for the rest of the year in Lansing. The district includes Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties. The Democrats are heavily favored to win and maintain control of the Senate. The quote of the week comes from The Bulwark's Tim Miller: We're in the Fat Elvis era of the Trump presidency. A note on the passing of Senator Don Riegle. First elected to the U.S. House from Flint in 1966, he served 5 terms and then 3 terms in the Senate, where he succeeded the legendary Phil Hart. He was one of the few people ever elected to Congress from both parties, switching from Republican to Democrat in protest of the Vietnam War and the corruption of the Nixon administration. We also lost a friend of this podcast, former Detroit News reporter and later Department of Justice lawyer Jim Mitzelfeld. Jim and his reporting partner Eric Freedman won a Pulitzer Prize for their uncovering of a million-dollar corruption scandal in the state House Fiscal Agency. Jim died of melanoma a day short of his 65th birthday. Joining the conversation this week is President of End Citizens United, Tiffany Muller. Mark and Walt Sorg talked with Tiffany Muller. She simultaneously leads the affiliated groups Let America Vote, and the End Citizens United/Let America Vote Action Fund – organizations dedicated to reversing what many consider one of the worst rulings of the Supreme Court in the last century which opened the floodgates for dark money funding of political campaigns. Since joining ECU, Tiffany has helped grow the group from a start-up to a nationwide organization with more than 4 million members and 1 million grassroots donors.

We're working to end our rigged political system by electing reform champions, passing meaningful legislative reforms, and elevating these issues in the national conversation. For 10 years, End Citizens United has been a leading voice for meaningful campaign finance reform. We're proud to work in partnership with real democracy champions to overturn Citizens United, end the unlimited and undisclosed money in politics, and protect and expand the right to vote. Tiffany Muller is the President of End Citizens United, Let America Vote, and the End Citizens United/Let America Vote Action Fund. Since joining ECU, Tiffany has helped grow the group from a start-up to a nationwide organization with more than 4 million members and 1 million grassroots donors. Since its founding in 2015, ECU has raised over $200 million to help protect and strengthen democracy and has helped elect more than 600 democracy champions. Under her leadership, the group has made protecting the voice and vote of every American a national priority, which led to the introduction of the most significant anti-corruption and voting rights legislation in generations. Signifying its top priority status, the bill was designated H.R. 1 and S. 1, passed the U.S. House of Representatives, and received majority support in the U.S. Senate. Tiffany was named to Washingtonian's list of the Most Influential People in Washington. Tiffany began her career in government and politics when she became the first openly gay public official in Kansas in 2004 as a member of the Topeka City Council. There she led successful efforts to expand anti-discrimination protections. She has been described as a "force of nature" and a "high-quality leader" who can "grasp the responsibility to a larger cause."

The college football landscape never stops moving, shifting and changing. The latest change is yet another drastic move of conference realignment. Sacramento State is leaving the FCS to join the FBS as they will now become a part of the MAC. Yes, the team in California is joining the Mid-American Conference. Ross Dellenger explains why Sac State is making this move and what other avenues they pursued. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation and react to this decision. The conversation evolves to the broader landscape of conference realignment. The guys discuss why so many of these drastic shifts are being made and what type of change to the college football landscape they see coming in the future.Then, the guys dive into a couple of notable eligibility court cases. Trinidad Chambliss will be a Rebel for one more season after a judge in the Mississippi state court granted an injunction to give Chambliss one more season of eligibility. The guys compare the Chambliss situation to other court cases of the past and they contrast it with the Joey Aguilar case in Tennessee. At the time of this recording, we have yet to get a ruling on Aguilar. Plus, the crew shares some of the very unique events that happened at the courthouse during the Chambliss ruling.Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey revisit a topic from the previous episode. Recently, a fan of Mr. Beast proposed the idea of Mr. Beast donating $100 million to East Carolina University to try to win them a National Championship. Andy was convinced that wouldn't do much, but Godfrey said he does not feel the same way. The crew discusses the feasibility of this, how small schools could make a big jump with a large cash infusion and what additional power ECU would have by having Mr. Beast behind them.All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Sac State to the MAC14:31 - Where does conference realignment go from here?24:44 - Trinidad Chambliss & Joey Aguilar eligibility cases42:32 - Would a $100 million from Mr. Beast get ECU to the CFP?
