Maybe if it was some crazy expensive and powerful sportscar, but I was thinking more of the possibility of an NIL moneyman who has sponsored an athlete for several years leaning on him in a Black Sox scenario.

It's a new account created for the collective in June 2022.

If anyone reading this is affiliated with our NIL collective Light the Tower, could you get somebody to delete the off-topic political tweets that were posted under the collective's account? They have nothing to do with the mission of improving UNT athletics. I requested this directly but they're still online:

That's funny but it's also disturbing. The kind of people throwing money at student athletes via NIL could be shady or worse. And I'm not just talking about Rick Villareal.

If boards got a national championship GMG would make the playoff each year. I can't blame Mustang and Cougar fans for hanging out here to gather insight and wisdom they can take back to their fanbases.

Dickey had more sustained success than Littrell. From 2000-2004 UNT won four straight conference championships, reached four bowls (and won one) and had three seasons in a row with winning records. The reason to consider moving on from Littrell is that a six-win season where you don't win the conference and get stomped in a bowl game is the lowest possible definition of success.

NIL deals can't be tied to performance in the sport. LSU quarterback Myles Brennan signed deals with a car dealership, Raising Canes, Smoothie King, GameCoin and Small Sliders in 2021. He never played a game after that and quit football in August. He keeps all the money: https://www.actionnetwork.com/general/lsu-qb-myles-brennans-retirement-could-slow-speed-breadth-of-nil-deals-across-college-football

If they're not getting playing time at SMU and don't think that will change, I'd call it mercenary, not disgusting. College football is a take-care-of-number-one world. If the rule is bad then it should be changed, but while it is place players can be like coaches, who never let loyalty to their current school or players override self benefit.

SMU has players who won't play for you EVEN WHEN YOU PAY THEM.

His record is great but I fear UNT would be his last temptation.

Here's a new wrinkle on the anything goes era of college football: SMU sophomore wide receiver Roderick Daniels Jr. and senior safety Chace Cromartie will sit out the rest of the season so they can redshirt this year and then enter the transfer portal. Sophomore safety Isaiah Nwokobia and sophomore wide receiver Jayleen Record are reportedly planning to do the same. https://www.on3.com/teams/smu-mustangs/news/smu-football-expected-without-multiple-contributors/ https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/smu-mustangs/2022/10/03/sources-multiple-smu-players-to-sit-out-the-rest-of-season-enter-transfer-portal/ Do they still get their $36,000?

The lack of contrast made the logo too difficult to see on the broadcast. Maybe it would've been better with a competent TV production.

How is it not the university's radio station when it is owned by UNT and housed on campus in the Radio/TV/Film & Performing Arts building? Students can earn practicum credit for working at the station, according to this link: https://mediaarts.unt.edu/about-us/kntu

Nine wins and a bowl win is enough for me to pretend I never wanted him to be fired.

You can enjoy a win without being satisfied with the overall direction of the program. Ragsdale, Shorter, Texada, Davis and Nixon all played great. Mooney continues to be a rock. Aune threw four touchdowns and only one was to the other team!

I also expect the move up to help us, separate from all the other issues like the decision on the head coach. Improving your conference attracts better recruits. The CUSA was an albatross around our necks. The terrible TV deal, poor conference leadership and downward trajectory of football teams hurt UNT.

For those who aren't impressed with the UTEP and FAU wins because they think those teams are bad, what conference wins this season would impress you?

And we beat ourselves against Memphis with the two pick sixes, but that isn't something to feel good about because a loss is a loss. The same logic applies in reverse: A win is a win. UNT beat FAU because of some great playmakers stepping up and that's worth celebrating.

The half is not over.

Bennett took that hit well from Aune. Does he have eligibility left?

FAU's helmet is also a number on one side and a state outline on the other.

A Freedom Flask?

Aune-Shorter is the new Montana-Rice.

When did football players start picking music? This isn't baseball where one player is walking up to bat and chose Milkshake. There are 22 players out there. Did they all get a vote?

At least the scoreboard is looking good.
