First, not all home and away series are based on equal payouts Second, guarantees are present even if they are for both teams receiving the same money Cancelation fees are negotiated as a major part of the game contract, upper tier teams like to reschedule or cancel games with lower tier teams if better options become available.

Their attendance matters because they make money enough to pay away teams guarantees, that is how oc scheduling works.

The question was why is NT not able to schedule the home opponents that Memphis does. Do you actually think the loss of these coaches is going to significantly affect their attendance? The point is that Memphis' attendance is roughly 4 times what NT manages. That allows Memphis to have a much better home schedule than NT. The loss of these coaches will only affect Memphis's attendance if they start losing a lot more games.

NT has no issues, coast to a 47 to 17 win, while playing all available players.

I doubt firing his staff is going to save his job. If it does, the AD needs to join the terminated list.

i thought that the SFA coach was impressive in the short interview. I expect NT to blow them out, but hope the NT team doesn't feel that way. No way to tell anything from SFA's first game. NT's offense cruised, but that defense has a long way to go to even be mediocre.

As soon as we get NT's reputation to Memphis's level, that will be possible. Memphis's average home attendance last year 12,275 versus NT's 4132, which was the highest in decades for the Green

Yes, that is going to happen. If your definition of marquee game is with a top 50 type program, NT does not have the resources to accomplish that. Resources in terms of finances, support or reputation. In eras past that infrequently happened, teams would even include away games in their recruiting strategy to establish their presence in certain areas. Now with nearly every game available online for free, established or ranked teams don't have to promote their programs by oc scheduling. Plus the awful NIL situation has made recruiting more about purchasing players than recruiting.

Behind at half, NT comes back strong and wins by 10.

I prefer to give a coach a couple of years to prove his worth. I really don't get these types of threads, did you expect Morris to go undefeated in his first year?

Yes, he should be on that list as should Eric Pegram; who IMO was a better rb, but played on some bad NT teams.

Not inclined to worry about exhibition losses to good teams away. Particularly, at a mile above sea level.

Apparently, it was just backed with the scheduling of Oregon St. and NT. Not good for the point I attempted to make, but should be great for the team.

I don't see any valid rationale for reporting an misdemeanor arrest that occurred 4 months ago. Unless the purpose is just to embarrass the team or fill up a column.

You can argue any schedule is intentional, not an accident. I have attempted to demonstrate that NT's home oc schedule is not unusual in any sense. Backup your assertion that NT or any mid-tier D1 team can schedule quality home oc games with actual data.

Very few teams other than the historically black universities will play away oc games without heavy financial incentives. The hb universities basically finance their program by playing oc games they have little chance to win. D1's could obviously schedule home and away series, but it is seldom done without financial sponsors. This is an issue with most schools not just NT. For example, oc games last year by our conference mates Charlotte: Maine, liberty, Utah Valley, Ga. St, Davison, Stetson, Greensboro Memphis, the only name basketball school in the AAC: Lane College, LeMoyne-Owen college, Jackson St, Alabama St and some name schools: Clemson, Virginia, Austin Peay, Vanderbilt Tulane: Nicholls, NW St. La, Prairie View, Furman, Southern, George Mason, Dillard UTSA: Western Illinois, Jacksonville St., Incarnate Word, Arkansas-Fort Smith, Prairie View Tulsa: Central Arkansas, Incarnate Word, Jacksonville St, Oral Roberts, South Caronlina St. Not going any further, but it should be obvious: that NT is not alone with their scheduling issues

The worse, in my opinion is referring to building our culture. Absolutely, meaningless

I stand corrected. Coker had a great record at Miami, but only one good year at UTSA However, he did start the initial program at UTSA, so the record is very deceptive

UTSA has been good for a while, Traylor did not exactly inherit a bad team. UTSA beat NT by 8, last year; in a very competitive game. Texas ST was 8-5 last year but lost to Troy by 18 and Arkansas St by 46, not sure why anybody would think they are top 25. They did sign a lot of transfers, so it will be interested to see how that works.

Lot of fans who don't think Morris can win and ready for a change. Nevermind, that about every player that shows promised was hired away. In the nil world, for a team like NT which is largely non-competitive in buying players; how do you judge a hc's value.

Am I the only one that thinks NT names way too many people into their HOF? It cheapens the honor, does NT really have multiple athletes every year that deserve HOF honors. Either name one or two a year, or only select HOF members every three or four years.

Good job, based on current information

Great observation No, but have three prior years, and I doubt the quality has changed

Have not seen many hats have you? I like this hat and frequently wear it, for a give-away I doubt you can any better.
