Getting to six wins and invited to a bowl is literally deserving to go. Not to mention, bowls are fun for athletes. They get some new swag, get to do some fun things, etc. Pretty sure talking about going to bowl games is a big deal on the recruiting trail for all the Non-P5 programs.

So much this! For those who support the premise of this article, should employers even be allowed to have dress codes?

This is a trash post. Harrell and Filani are offensive coaches. If you start needing consultants to hire assistant coaches, you need a new head coach.

And this is exactly why I’m afraid we will be left behind when conferences start shaking up again. We are just so far behind when it comes to the mid-tier donors I just don’t see how we catch up.

Also, the IRS argument is weak. I was an independent contractor all through college and figured out how to make my tax payments. It’s really not that complicated at the end of the day. That argument is just an excuse. You can make arguments about the merits of athletes getting paid, potential risk of schools gaming the system, etc., but the IRS tax one is not an argument. It’s an excuse.

Aren’t they already doing this? There’s only 10-20 schools who are going to make the football playoffs anyway.

I actually expect this to happen sooner than later. I think required athletic fees will be a target. With the cost of higher education continuing to rise, I think students who don't care about athletics are going to start objecting to required athletic fees.

I'm curious who you give credit to for these two statements? I would argue that this is a product of what SL has done here. It's a result of the culture and program he has been building.

Attendance woes at a small private school shouldn’t make anyone here feel any better about our issues.

I’ll take SL’s approach a million times over Kiffin’s

Any of you on Twitter should tweet @meangreenops. I bet they could go check it out.

I can’t wait for the day when attendance at UNT isn’t dependent on what happens on the field. For this program to go next level, we have got to drive up ticket sales and scholarship fund donors, and we have to get over all the excuses to not support this program. That’s going to be the biggest hurdle we face if/when a conference shake up happens in the near future.

Don’t use logic. This is the Internet.

I’ve never quite trusted grown men who are into wrestling. 🤣

I would be shocked if even the G5 schools aren't doing this already.

You don’t think our announced numbers are butts in seats, do you?

Attendance smack? Come on, y'all. The sad reality is that, strictly from a student population and alumni base, UNT should blow SMU out of the water in attendance. The truth is. We DON"T.

I agree with this. I mean, I was getting free food, haircuts, etc. in high school and our team won 2 games my senior year. 🤣

To me, the solution is let athletes who are ready to go pro go pro. Remove the age restrictions, create an NFL minor league system, whatever else. Then, allow athletes who are good enough go straight to the NFL/minor leagues. The rest can use the college system, as is, to develop and grow into NFL talent. Give the athletes a choice of going pro or remaining an amateur and playing college ball.

Bye weeks suck

I believe Houston won the toss and deferred meaning they got the ball to start the second half. We chose to go against the wind in the third and have the wind at our backs for the 4th. That's pretty standard stuff. You always want the wind at your back in the fourth quarter.

Bye week = No coaches show

This is a bad take. Blood is way thicker than a degree on the wall. Nathan has supported this program since he played here and he will continue to do so. He rooted for his brother tonight. That’s it.
