I'm in the 9-10 win category. There's always one loss that is hard to explain. We have so much talent. It will be a disappointment to win 8 games or less.

QB: JT KITNA 6-3; 220 Middletown, Ohio (Lakota East/Bowling Green) *** #53 State (OH.) #75 QB (Fr.)

Was on the Bowling Green football team and had gone through spring practice after enrolling in January, but the team went through a new coaching change so he entered the portal.

Prior to his arrival at Bowling Green, JT Kitna was a two-year starter in high school under his father, Jon Kitna. He set Lakota East's program records for passing touchdowns and passing yards in a game, season and career during that time.

With all these new additions to the roster makes you wonder what players have left the team, because it's getting pretty crowded at some positions.

RB (7)
WR (19)
TE (6)
OL (24)
DL (23)
LB (19)
DB (34)
LS (1)

He was recruited by some high-powered programs. It'll be hard to keep all of our QB's happy with playing time.

Watching some film on Kitna, and he has great size, strength, and a great scrambler which is such a plus in college football.

It won't hurt to have a pro like Jon Kitna around the team from time to time. Hopefully he's willing to develop before pushing for anything this season.

Jokes aside this was a great add. I could see him being the starter in 2026 and us not really losing a beat after Vidlak gets drafted 1st overall ahead of Arch Manning.

I don't know details, but understand that Kitna completed the 2025 roster.

I'm not suggesting another conference realignment.

Only pointing out that a Texas only FCS conference would be pretty formidable.

I'm surprised that ACU didn't make the move to the SLC. Maybe they won't / can't or do not have the desire to rejoin the SLC. ACU in particular is not a target for CUSA / Sunbelt etc.

In the mid-term Tarleton is probably the biggest question mark. Do they (Tarleton) make a run at CUSA ? I don't think the MTN West has desire to grab Tarleton. Where do they go.

Tarleton ran hard at CUSA. They added Missouri State instead.

I've "heard" the SLC doesn't want them either. Too many bridges burned.

Of course, it's all subject to change.

I'm a Tarleton skeptic. Not sure how they would fit/prosper in a CUSA. My other question is , how will all this NIL and effect conferences that are in the edge of FBS (CUSA MAC SBC).

It looks to me that larger / stable FCS conferences could be a safe port for wayward schools that are concerned about the shifting college athletics landscape .

It would be a fun conference, you have two divisions, and just think of the rivalries on this list.

A rumor going around when SFA joined was that the Louisiana schools didn't really like the travel out to ACU/ETC.

Fwiw, a conference of the Texas based FCS schools(and I think I had UTA/Corpus in as well for basketball) was a shorter trip for everyone than the Southland with the exception of Lamar.

And Lamar's average trip distance in that new league was like within 5 miles of their average trip distance in the Southland.

The only reason this makes sense is to cut travel costs. It's gonna severely hurt potential playoff bubble teams, as they won't get that 4th non conference game to schedule a quality FCS opponent. Most schools will get 1 non conference FCS game towards their resume, which won't be a good look if they lose it.

Agreed. Probably a reality for conferences built like the SLC .

Going to 12 games regularly isn't this basically a wash?

Tbh, probably saves most of us with an extra buy game we have to pay our for with low level schools like ITT Tech and helps a bit with travel as well.

Overall might be a bit of a schedule upgrade for most SLC schools.

If we can avoid playing a sub d-1 team because of this, I'd be for it, but we already have such a hard time finding quality FCS opponents I would expect we still schedule a tune up game every year.

If we could get a yearly out of conference matchup against a top 25 opponent it wouldn't be an issue.

And ACU this year doesn't count. I'm expecting them to have a down year this year, and I more mean teams that are actual contenders. Let us get our matchup against a team that will be playing for a title. Even if we lose, it gives us a look at what's waiting for us in December if we're good enough to make it that far.
