I hope you find the answer for it is really bothering you. So sad that something like this could disturb you.

He must be trying to negotiate a contract and Texas told him they didn't have the money he was looking for to pay a kicker

Does he bring any quality players with him?

Great point. Anyone who thinks that he did not try and make something happen to have the game in Denton is, as you say, a "blame and shame" fan.

I think the whole luncheon thing was a slap in Jared's face as much as anything by the university's president. He wanted to let Jared understand that he was in charge of everything.

It surprises me (well, with our fan base, it probably shouldn't) that so many are all too happy to support players moving on for a better deal but don't seem to support Coach Hodge.

You would have been happier if they acted like they could go head-to-head with a Big 12 school. So, is it the appearance that you're more worried about the actual reality?

So recently, we made headlines for being one of a few being investigated by the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights and giving up a home Post-season game against a Power conference school. Not the things that make you look good.

I still beleive having UNT, UTSA, and TSU together, with maybe Rice, could be a good move, as we know Memphis, Tulane, and USF want to leave

@Harry Mods - The Ladies should get their picture put at the top for a least a day or two!!!

IF (and that's a big IF) there was a package of UNT, UTSA, and Texas State (maybe a side of RICE) it might not be a bad deal

I think Tarleton is going to try and join CUSA. ACU and UTA need to move ASAP

Another screwed up example of where, unfortunately, the mods don't care as much about North Texas fans as they do about clicks. Quite a few people I've spoken to don't come to the board as often because they're tired of either this idiot or SMU fans getting to say whatever they want to, but then God forbid you to go on the open board and make one political comment and the Mods make a mad scramble to shut it down. So I guess having political comments is off-limit, but people crapping on North Texas is okay with our mods.

So players can make more than coaches and have their room and board also covered, yet they should not pay taxes, and we will continue to tax the coach's salaries? It's an idiotic idea.

If a decision is made to change the portal window to once a year, and that is before the spring, then yes, continuous spring practice. However, with the current setup, I would not have the spring practice or at least a spring game in anything public. G5 schools are the hunting ground for the power schools to try and fill their needs that they discover after their spring practices.

I agree the Cowboys are a mess, but with the cluster that the NCAA has become, I would expect a lot more coaches to try and exit the college ranks.

Could the PAC now be looking at a merger with the MWC to avoid paying the penalties?

I'm just curious; I'm not saying we should leave, but if we're not getting a full share from the Americans, would there be room for North Texas not to pay the full exit fee? Also, Not sure how it would make sense for Texas State or the pack to have only one team on the eastern side of Texas or in a neighboring state. You would also think, based on everything you're reading from schools in the Big 10 and ACC, that traveling is taking a larger toll than they expected.

Under the new NCAA, who knows how much longer he will be able to play 🤔

He can always wait until the Spring Portal when a lot more players transfer and coaching staffs realize they need a QB

Strange to end up from those offers to Lamar. Not sure if it was waiting untill they dried up or something else came; up perhaps grades?

It is about to the point to where you either need to find a way to fix it which will probably take some type of government intervention or just get rid of the sport. It's getting pathetic that every player is out trying to find a way to circumventive system and every team is doing what they want to contact players. I cannot think of another example where a system is as broken as college sports. Add in the fact that title 9 is now saying they will have to share the revenue with women's sports and this is only going to get worse.

Would love to see them turn around and sue the NCAA for creating a system that is unsustainable and non-competitive.
