I'm right there with you. For too long UNT has only pretended to be a Div. 1 program. I am on the fence at this late date to renew my FB season tickets. Luncheon-gate really took the wind out of my sails and if there was any doubt in my mind that this school doesn't give two shits about athletics, that confirmed it. From an outsider, it doesn't appear Jared does, or is doing anything to advance our cause. Just an obligatory, recorded PSA during basketball games re. NIL while we continue to lag behind other American conference mates. In my mind, UNT just caters to the music, teacher and DEI crowd while giving athletics short shrift. Way back when, I chose UNT over UTD because of the commitment to play division one football. I felt I would get the total college experience. I question that commitment now. Someone prove me wrong.
Yep, lots of teams this year, if not most teams. This is basically the year the spring game died. Matt Rhule and others were saying spring games had essentially turned into exhibitions for other teams to steal their players via the transfer portal.
Did anyone go to the open practice on March 29th?
It was not marketed at all, or I fell off the email marketing list some how (I could see both happening with UNT). Someone I know close to athletics said we specially "we're not having a spring game this year.". Seems like that is usually a hallmark of FBS programs. Maybe we have nothing worth showcasing?
They did send an email asking for my Club Tix money. Definitely didn't fall off that email marketing list!
