I am not sure that this will go over well in the least bit in San Marcos. Though the writer starts off talking about scheduling, which was probably not the best route to take on this one...

The only legitimate things that the writer has going for him is..

1) Mentioning Travis Bush, the OC who left TXST for UTSA and said something along the lines that it was a 'step up' for him in his career.

2) UTSA having easier access to "big-time sponsorships" by being located in a metropolitan area. It is 100% on the mark since UTSA is in San Antonio proper, though we can acknowledge they do not control the market outright, but they should have a much better claim than TXST, which both fall under the University of Texas.

Everything else was really non-essential...though as we've discussed before, UTSA needs to generate buzz for their program, especially since their fans are not going to be too thrilled with the FCS schedule the first two years and so that conferences can see that UTSA is serious about their commitment to FBS...

TXST has to approach this in a much different manner, we've talked about that before.

Oh and Larry Teis was presumably at the Southland Conference meetings which got underway Tuesday. Perhaps the writer could do his homework for once, but he already showed that he did not in the story, so what's that tell you...
San Marcos — Texas State University’s “Drive” to the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) is seemingly in the slow lane when compared to the University of Texas-San Antonio’s quest do the same thing with a program that has yet to play a football game.

Last week, UTSA officials announced a four-game series with Colorado State, making the Rams the sixth FBS team scheduled play the Roadrunners at the Alamodome. Texas State, on the other hand, hasn’t issued statement about any FBS-level teams coming to play in San Marcos at Bobcat Stadium, which has some local sports fans wondering if UTSA is on a faster, and perhaps more promising path, to the FBS level.
