Wth for? He's a WR coach for cryin out loud. 

I know this is too complicated for you to understand, but if Harrell coaches the bowl game and Wazzu wins, then he will have a ring to show recruits. Plus, he still has a commitment to his previous employer and UNT isn't exactly having any epic recruiting battles and the dead period is almost here. Logically speaking, it's a good idea to coach the bowl game.

Yeah, that Sun Belt ring is really going to impress recruits.  I am sure this was negotiated, so no issue.

 However, this may be too complicated for you to understand; but every day in recruiting has to be very important for NT.  Dead period or not; they have to determine what NT needs and who to go after.

I have more likes on my post than you do, so that means I win. Also last I checked, Wazzu was a Pac-12 school, not a Sun Belt school.

Well, if you look at your overall score, I'm pretty sure that the people who have a rep of zero are winning over you. -469 is not exactly what we're looking for in life.

Lol. That national championship ring Dan McCarney sported didn't do a GD thing in recruiting. 

So stupid.

This has RV written all over it. We don't have squat for recruits, and now a 2nd year college assistant and a 1st year OC has to coach the freaking Sun Bowl? As a WR coach? 

There is a lot to do at his new job. 

This so seems like a Todd Dodge faux pas. 

Clear evidence of who is really running the offense in Pullman.

Lol. Leach is running the offense.

So dumb.

Arm chair coaches/ADs never cease to amaze me...

People saying, "but I hope Littrell is communicating w/ him constantly"

Are you guys kidding me? Of course these coaches are communicating, and understand that everything that can be done during the dead period can be done through technology. It is ridiculous to think letting Harrell coach his bowl game is a stumble, or mistake by Littrell because things won't be able to get done satisfactory.

All the evaluations, recruiting plans, JUCO conversations, etc., can, and will be taken care of, regardless of where Harrell is via technology.

Plus, the whole "eye in the sky" reference came from Leach, when he was describing Harrell's role in the staff. That's a plus as to how valuable Leach believes him to be.

Lets not start making something out of nothing.

...and btw...I think RV should be fired b/c Apogee looks wet when it rains, and looks too dry when the sun comes out.

right, something around a 145-278 record in revenue sports shouldn't ever get an AD fired. 

It doesn't at UNT, which is why we will continue to suck at everything.

If you think the same amount of evaluation of talent, contact with Litrell, introducing oneself to local high school coaches, and about a million other things can be done in Pullman. WA while preparing his current team for a bowl game, you are insane.

But then again you do think RV is doing a bang up job, so...

It's not a major issue, but I don't understand why a WR coach is staying to coach a bowl. Head coaches who take new jobs often leave before the bowl. Harrell and all the other new UNT coaches need to hit the ground running. Giving up some more time to the old job is not helpful.

I didn't say I think RV is doing a good job, my point was that I, like many on the board get tired of you incessant rambling on about it. We get it, you want RV fired. You do not have to tie it into everyone of your posts.

I think the reason is Littrell knows what he wants. Probably used UNTs board to say ok these 25 kids we are gunna look at 4 the rest scrap and let's start over.  I'm sure you will see us target many kids the SMU, tulsas, bowling greens of the world are targeting. Our HC and their HCs have similar philosophies.  I can't wait for December to end and the dead period to be lifted.  It's going to get wild and crazy around here and I for one am excited to see just who he can pull, flip and make a UNT super star.  They are out there don't be fooled.

I look forward to watching WSU's offense during the Sun Bowl and the announcers stating "future UNT coaches Graham Harrell and Joel Filani..."

Giovanni Vizza didn't visit NT until 01/12/07 and didn't commit to NT until 01/23/07. He visited Nevada 01/19/07. Relax. We will get the guys we're gonna get whether Graham Harrell is in Denton right now or on December 27th.

Here is your reason why Harrell and maybe Filani will be staying with Wazzu until after the Sun Bowl. They might fly straight here from El Paso, who knows.

It's beginning to smack to me of "it's just North Texas, we'll get to it when we get to it."  Dodge did the same thing.  Mucho attrition from his first recruiting class as well.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
