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.

Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

I hate thinking that we need more rules, but something they have to address is the players that are faking injuries to slow down the momentum of another team and the ones that are just straight out flopping onto the ground to try and get a penalty thrown against the other team.

I wonder if any of the CUSA teams tried to make a move to the MAC?

By all means sometimes less is better when you have fans who spend most of their time bitching about the program and complaining about everything.

You have to love the idiots who make comments like Southwest Texas State and then most likely get pissed off when people call us North Texas State.

By all means feel free to step away and not come back.

Think you we'll see some major changes to the format next year. Between the first round blowouts and it looks like every team that got to bye will lose would expect to see some changes.

I've seen quite a few FCS games were the announced attendance was much higher than their capacity yet there still half the seats in the stadium were empty.

Who would have guessed when you have to buy players that they would not give a damn about the school. Again I know many of you will jump in how this all starts because the schools were so greedy but if you're not realizing the players have caught up on the greed then you have your head buried in the sand. With all the lawsuits going on I really wish groups of students would start suing to stop mandated athletic fees. Students should not have to compensate professional sports.
