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.
@@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!!!
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.
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 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.
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 can't do anything about ASU, but there was no way they'd allow a school in their system to play in Little Rock. 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. ASU has more bowl appearances in the last decade. UAPB has a better record. It's a joke of a school.
@@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".
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.
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?
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
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.
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
@@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

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.
@@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
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.
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 would be the college team you join to KNOW you are a part of HISTORY from that school and team
Fr
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 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
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.
I'm a new fan, can't wait to see what we got!
Almost time! #2025
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.
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
This is cool. I’m excited for UTRGV
Can't wait for some home games.
Congrats to Pan Am. Can’t wait to catch games there since I live in Mcallen
LETS GOOOO UTRGV MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHHH
The final piece to the football team is a football team!
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".
One of the seniors from my Alumni HS just committed them. Hopefully he and the team have success early on.
The streets need a West Georgia video
Are they d1?

yes we need west georgia

There gonna need to expand the stadium
UT Arlington needs to revive their football program now.
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
Cant wait to get local college football
Cheering for this team!

For y’all who don’t know UTRGV IS it’s university of Texas - Rio GRANDE VALLEY
You are correct, sir.
"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
Greatly informative video. Please work on your voice inflections. It was like a metronome.
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.
Let’s go Vaqueros from class of 2022!!!
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.
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?
Yay!!! You did the video 🎉
Utrgv mentioned w aaf
Those gray helmets are 🔥
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.
Rio "GRAND" Valley.....
I would love to see UTRG VS TEXAS HOOK EM' 🤘
Hope they succeed 🙏🏾
Cool another Texas collegiate Team
Never thought id see a yt video on my university lmao.
That’s awesome for the studwnts
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
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
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.
Thisbis going to be a movie lol
pronounced as " Rio Grand Valley"
I’m from the Valley and so hype for it #RALLYTHEVALLEY
Meanwhile, UTEP still be ass while UTRGV and UTSA blow by them.
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.
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. 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
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
It's pronounced Grand! Not Granday
Where exactly is the school? I have family in McAllen, TX.
Did I see a "Pride of the Valley" logo?.....might be an issue with Fresno State. But, Id love to see TAMUCC follow suit
No. It's "Rally The Valley"
@@dustyhills8911 I like it
Which team should start a team next

I wish UNO had a football team University of New Orleans they would be playing with them if I’m not mistaken can u do a vid of them if u can
And somehow Wichita State remains the only member of the AAC without football. Come on WSU!
It's a similar situation to Nebraska Omaha.
Lol the name is long as hell they need to come up with a new one
Eventually they will just be called "RGV"
The name for the region is shortened to The Valley usually.
Will be known eventually as RGV.
ACU already plays them in every sport so we just call them UTRGV. Similar to UTSA
@@bketcher yea but seems so long I like RGV like one of the comment said
