@Brett Vito now is the time for the question "What is the future status of Tony Benford?" to be asked to Rick Villarreal. 

His answer, or refusal to answer, will tell us a lot.

"Well Brett, were real proud of our Men's team making it to the second round of this year's CUSA Tournament. I think the outcome would have been different had our top player been healthy.  Next year we have the nucleus of a great team coming back. Add in some highly regarded recruits that Tony is bringing in, and I think we'll have a real shot at the NCAA's."

End of interview.

Made it before this thread gets locked

Why would this thread get locked? That's a pretty legitimate question, and I'm sure Brett has probably already attempted to ask it.

"UNT won multiple tournament games in each of the four seasons prior to Benford taking over the program. "

In fact, we were 15-4 in the tourney in the six year run under JJ. 10-3 in the final four seasons.

Once upon a time not long ago,
when people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
and people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
by anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me, Ya, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,

maybe JJ will be available as well and we can get back to where we were 4 yrs ago, but this time JJ takes the ship back in the right direction

JJ's time at UNT has passed. It was great, but he shouldn't want to come back and I really think UNT should go in another direction, also.

Why do you care either way?  You don't support basketball in any way, right?

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

      Yeah, while 10k students may be okay with this, the other 36k may not be happy about it at all, especially when all 46k are complaining about how expensive college has become. Having 15-20k students picketing to drop football doesn't help recruiting or TP enticements.

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

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

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

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
