I wish that our head coach or A.D. would address this unprecedented loss of players. It's gotten where the old joke of the last one leaving turn off the light applies.

YTD we have 23 players in the portal which is twice as many as any other program that I am aware of. This seems more like leaving a sinking ship rather then just testing the waters.

Went in portal today for a total of 23 UNT players ytd.

The MWC commissioner seems really good.

This is very interesting. Thanks for the post !

However I can see why you would think that. I should have posted my response separately instead of adding to to your post. My bad.

Didn't say you did. I was referring to the other posts that do.

No one criticized Willy Fritz when he jumped to Houston for more money and a better opportunity. Why are we bashing players for doing the same thing?

The NIL is not limited to just football. It is spreading to other sports as we speak.

It's still a second rate bowl regardless of where it is played. Also, red ant bites sting.

I went to Frisco Emerson / Collyville Heritage game Friday night. Frisco won 59 to 47 . Their quarterback passed for 3 touchdowns, ran for 3 more, and is committed to OU. The Collyville quarterback also passed for 3 touchdowns,ran for 2, and according to DMN has an offer from UNT.

Brain fart. I actually have been to Fenway Park and saw the Red Sox host the Yankees.

So the reward for winning the AAC championship is playing 6&6 B.C. in a second rate bowl in New York? In fact, I think most of our bowl opponents are 6&6. Not a big step up from CUSA and SBC conferences.

The Sun Belt has 12 teams with bowl bids.

Point being that the portal can either benefit or damage a program. The NIL only benefits P4 programs with deep pockets and hurts the rest of us. You are correct in that everyone knows that but those of us with underfunded athletic programs and reluctant donors will have a hard time overcoming this disadvantage and I don't know how you work within it.

The portal has changed college football as it gives opportunities for athletes who are not getting playing time to seek an opportunity elsewhere and those that successful to play at a higher level,which is where the NIL probably comes in. It may be legal but it will ruin college sports as we know it. There is no way the G6 programs can pay their players as much as P4 schools, which should bring about a split in D1 athletics. The P4 schools will remain D1, G6 schools become D1a, and the D1aa programs remain where they are. Just an old man's opinion.

There are a lot of good quarterbacks moving to the portal this year.

They are on a one year scholarship that may or may not be renewable , so they owe the college university nothing.

Evidently you have never been to Lubbock.

Did you ever leave a company for a job in the same industry that paid more and offered you a better opportunity? I have, appreciate the year he gave us, and wish him nothing but the best in the future.

Receiver had over 1,000 yards in receptions and is only a sophomore.

I did say "could". They have a Daddy Warbucks that "could" pony up.

Fritz is 63, and according to what I have read is Houston's top choice. Traylor might be their 2nd choice but UTSA alumni could step up to the plate and give him the financial support his program needs.

We also lost our center and top receiver to the transfer portal as per today's DMN.

Your just a kid. I have 62 years invested , and you pay your dues monthly. At age 80 I have seen it all. The good,bad, and ugly. This year the offense was good, defense ugly, and overall the team was bad. My expectation is the we recruit hard on the defense side of the ball while my hope is that we can maintain an offense close to this years.
