@@PlaylistProleteriatWith them being in Texas, I think they can be pretty good in the recruiting aspect, definitely gonna take some time before they are super competitive like an NDSU or SDSU or the Montanas
We’ve all been waiting for years! We interviewed head coach Bush and he’s just an awesome guy and it’s amazing that this is finally really happening for the valley 🔥👏
Yeah man I'm excited about this. As a former CFB player/coach and avid CFB fan. I love seeing the overall process. I want to attend a game. I'm not even a fan, alum or have any ties to UT-Rio Grande Valley Univ. UT Pan American/UT Brownsville.
Best Advice- AVOID 11 AM, 2:30 PM Kick Off games in the RGV. Tailgating would be downright dangerous August-October. Officials will get heat stroke. Actually, just Ban day time games all together in the valley.
I know it’s not a very popular school but it would be awesome to see a Tennessee Tech video. They are planning to move to the sunbelt after upgrading their stadium. Go Golden Eagles!!!
Can wait to see how competitive they can be in year one next year in the Southland since im sure they'll join the conference football side. All the schools are in Texas and Louisiana. Great move for them.
I knew the head coaches son, his name was Tyler Bush. His dad coached at Seguin, then went to Canon, and obviously now is at UTRGV. It’s kinda cool to see.
Their AD Chasse Conque, was the AD at my hometown team, Little Rock Trojans. He was AMAZING, but the idiot Razorback admins blocked his attempts at starting football, and then forced him to hire a terrible basketball coach (and Arkansas alum) which was the last straw. I miss him terribly,
@@thequixoticangler3364 Beard, yes. Not sure if he got Foley. He was forced to hire Walker, or so the rumor mills say. Wally Hall had been pushing him for years and you know how he is
@@konstantinpobedonotsev5589 Wally is a friggin cancer. They don't want football at UALR simply because it'd create second recruiting void in the state for them. ASU owns the NEA and the upper Delta.

They'd have to compete with the city school in a place where people are much more loyal to the Rock than to the U of A. Arkansas is a bully. A baseball school that thinks it's special.

@@DioChicken everyone in the area or who go to this school is mexican or mexican American we all pronounce it this way. No one calls the school grawnday. I know how grandé the word is pronounced in Spanish but the school official name is said "grand".
I really don't have an opinion about this, other than I find this development interesting at least. If UTRGV plans on being a solid hub for collegiate sports, whether for FCS or FBS in the future, then they need a foundation in place. It looks like they're acting the part.
Very similar thing out here in California. All but one of the UC schools are varying shades of Blue & Gold. Here are the UCs that play football; Cal - Berkeley Blue/California Gold UCLA - UCLA Blue/UCLA Gold UC Davis - Aggie Blue/Gold Non-Football Schools; UC Irvine - Blue/Gold UC Merced - Royal Blue/Gold UC Riverside - Sky Blue/Gold UC San Diego - Navy Blue/Yellow UC Santa Barbara - Navy Blue/Gold UC Santa Cruz - Blue/Gold Exception to the trend; UC San Francisco - Navy Blue/Sky Blue
All University of Texas system school use some variation of orange and white per system rules. Sec. 2 Official Colors. The official colors for the U. T. System shall be orange and white; provided, however, that an institution may adopt one additional color to be used in connection with athletic and other activities of the institution when approved by the Board of Regents upon recommendation of the president of the institution, the appropriate Executive Vice Chancellor, and the Chancellor.
Which is part of the reason the top Texas schools don’t accomplish as much as they should. State of Alabama has 2 Power programs and only half a dozen lower level. Texas has 6 power 4 schools and 10+ lower level programs. Dividing up the talent amongst 10+ more programs even in a larger state makes a difference
Meh. I'm happy for a part of Texas that has traditionally been an afterthought. But this area also doesn't usually generate a lot of football talent. I guess time will tell. Of course I'm thinking 5A and 6A football talent. They'll have to bring in players. Where is their NIL money coming from?
I was raised in South Texas and also North Texas. What I loved about Denton , TX we had UNT and I loved catching some games from time to time, now fast forward 30 odd years later and i'm presently living in Edinburg and this is some exciting news and can't wait for the energy to explode in south tx from the football gods,, puro 956!
Do you think area of McAllen and Edinburg is growing? This is a bunch of money invested on the school for a not so well known and populated area? Do you think people will be invested in attending participating in the development of south TX. Y’all get a bad rep for being so close to the border.
Also in 2026, they'll play Mexicos equivalent to Alabama and NDSU, Monterrey Tech. Seriously, Monterrey Tech absolutely dominates football in Mexico and have had games aginst div II school.
Probably be as good as UTEP. It would be cool if they joined Conference USA. Sam Houston, UTEP and UTRGV in the same conference would be good for the conference.
@@VLA1234-t2t I agree, but we are In a huge region with several campuses and lots of egos. Maybe this will motivate Brownsville to build a better stadium in the future.
@@non-indexed2896 brownsville shouldve never gotten a campus. Just makes everyones lifes worse having to drive overthere. Utrgv should act loke the university it is and treat brownsville like a satellite and not focus on it
As a member of the Southland I know they will beat Northwestern State University because they are not good and thats the college i attended for a little while
From Having no football to having the best facilities in FCS level is just impressive
Still, can they recruit well and compete on the FCS level?
I mean SDSU and NDSU still rule FCS and very few programs outside of that have the same success.

Not the best, but definitely impressive
That logic hasnt applied to other texas football programs that are way more desirable places to be than the rgv @@headhunternick
@@PlaylistProleteriatsdsu is fbs
It will be an uphill battle for the program. But UTSA showed the college football world in Texas that it can be done.
Plenty of talent in Texas to make a competitive FCS team.
They will go thru their growing pains out of the gate but as time moves on they'll be good
Bruh the tailgating there will be legendary.
My high schools QB signed at UTRGV, best of luck to Zion!
Utrgv got a steal with him. He fbs talent imo. Hes gonna be great
This would be the college team you join to KNOW you are a part of HISTORY from that school and team

I had no idea! Good for the students👍🏻
A lot of the students actually don’t want it. They’re afraid tuition is going to get expensive and many families can barely afford it
This will Interestingly new University Football team.
Y'all have no idea how much we've been YEARNING for a football program down here! There were always rumors, but now it's coming true! #PURO956

UT-RGV was in the Sunbelt Conference in the 90s.
They are 🫤. I figure Tennessee State would be in the Sun Belt before Tenn Tech
Love the stadium and grounds …best of luck!
Congratulations to the new program. Im sure its an exciting time for this new college!
The college has been around since almost 100 years ago, it was recently rebranded almost 9 years ago, but its always constantly growing
I'm a new fan, can't wait to see what we got!
Almost time! #2025

Can't wait for some home games.
Lol..first i thought this was a ncaa14 dynasty mode vid...Had no idea they had a team .
I thought the same thing and then thought "wait that looks like a real picture of a coach".
As a football and long time Texas resident, i love that this is happening. Will definitely be cheering them on in the future. LET'S GO VAQUEROS!

Are they d1?

"We have more students voting..." (Than we do students?Nah)
Looks like they are setting up for a move to FBS quick also.
They would be a nice fit in Conference USA in the future
There gonna need to expand the stadium
I really don't have an opinion about this, other than I find this development interesting at least. If UTRGV plans on being a solid hub for collegiate sports, whether for FCS or FBS in the future, then they need a foundation in place. It looks like they're acting the part.
I really think they could be a hub for Mexican-American football. Interested to see how this takes off
Yay!!! You did the video 🎉
Why is every texas university affiliated team orange?
Stephen f austin is apart of the system and is purple
Very similar thing out here in California. All but one of the UC schools are varying shades of Blue & Gold.
Here are the UCs that play football;
Cal - Berkeley Blue/California Gold
UCLA - UCLA Blue/UCLA Gold
UC Davis - Aggie Blue/Gold

UC San Diego - Navy Blue/Yellow
UC Santa Barbara - Navy Blue/Gold
UC Santa Cruz - Blue/Gold
Exception to the trend;
UC San Francisco - Navy Blue/Sky Blue
Those in the University of Texas System usually have some orange. There are like 8 universities, give or take
All University of Texas system school use some variation of orange and white per system rules. Sec. 2 Official Colors. The official colors for the U. T. System shall be orange and white; provided, however, that an institution may adopt one additional color to be used in connection with athletic and other activities of the institution when approved by the Board of Regents upon recommendation of the president of the institution, the appropriate Executive Vice Chancellor, and the Chancellor.
I believe UT mandates them to use some variation of orange. Only Stephen F Austin can retain their purple due to the university's origin.
UT Arlington needs to revive their football program now.
Cheering for this team!
Those gray helmets are 🔥
Greatly informative video. Please work on your voice inflections. It was like a metronome.
Cant wait to get local college football
From the valley! Hope they do good
Kennesaw State in Georgia started as an FCS school in 2015. Making the jump to FBS in 2024.
At what cost? How much? Just curious. Best of luck to this new program and hope their first year is exceptional.
Lots of money lol, but there is no doubt that there is interest in this team down here so the reward is well worth the risk imo.
At what cost??? You might want to research the history of football and how it is tied to universities. It's a huge benefit.
Utrgv mentioned w aaf
Rio "GRAND" Valley.....
Let’s go Vaqueros from class of 2022!!!
How many teams can Texas Have
Which is part of the reason the top Texas schools don’t accomplish as much as they should. State of Alabama has 2 Power programs and only half a dozen lower level.

Does the UAC still intend to become an FBS league? If so, is UTRGV's switch to Southland a signal that they do not intend to go FBS?
The UAC project looks like it failed.
Next up is UT Arlington. IF they students and faculty want a football program.
And there might be more challenges than UTRGV.
That’s awesome for the studwnts

What I loved about Denton , TX we had UNT and I loved catching some games from time to time, now fast forward 30 odd years later and i'm presently living in Edinburg and this is some exciting news and can't wait for the energy to explode in south tx from the football gods,, puro 956!

Hope they succeed 🙏🏾
Cool another Texas collegiate Team
I’m from the Valley and so hype for it #RALLYTHEVALLEY
Also in 2026, they'll play Mexicos equivalent to Alabama and NDSU, Monterrey Tech.

Meanwhile, UTEP still be ass while UTRGV and UTSA blow by them.
Probably be as good as UTEP. It would be cool if they joined Conference USA. Sam Houston, UTEP and UTRGV in the same conference would be good for the conference.
I would love to see UTRG VS TEXAS HOOK EM' 🤘
pronounced as " Rio Grand Valley"
Never thought id see a yt video on my university lmao.
Give a look into William woods university
Nice

Haha you’re a fool.
I live in the area and you couldn't be more wrong
You know nothing, the border is safe aaf. Its always the morons from random states who know nothing
How can I get involved, how can I help ?
When you start a college football program it is best to make sure you have money to run the program
you tell'em. I'm sure you're an expert on running D-1 athletic programs, huh
Where exactly is the school? I have family in McAllen, TX.
Edinburg
Which team should start a team next
