ouff. so UNTs first seven games: 5 road games and home games vs UAB and MTSU. Road games not all easy opponents either. Feels like TB needs to get this team rolling early or they could easily go 2-5 or worse.

If that happens the new AD just might take his medicine and expell TB out of our system.

Maybe we will finally hire a head basketball coach after not having one for 5 years.

Should have pulled that trigger months ago. We would already have our rebuild process underway and be on the road to success. Now we won't start that journey for 8 or 9 months. Sigh. Missed opportunities.

I understand the situation but we are already eating the remainder of two contracts.  Just how much additional debt can we take?  There is enough talent here that any member of the coaching should be able to win 40% of the games.  While I don't feel that there will be enough wins for Benford to be retained (I believe that it will take a minimum of a Dance invite), I don't see enough gains to keep him from finishing the year.  

Basketball is actually Wren Baker's forte and I believe that he knows the best thing to do in this case.  At least Benford won't be leaving the cupboard totally bare.

That is what happens when Benford coaches a team, nobody knows.  It is like the old question, if a tree falls in the woods with no one around, does it make a sound?

Just remember that when you see where we sit in the standings this season, even with Benford making his last march on the sidelines, it just means that RV is gone. Itll make it much easier to accept when you realize we basically chose to get rid of RV right away and wait a year on Benford since it was more economically friendly. Ill take the trade any day.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      This gets the PAC to their first goal of full football membership before 2026. It also paves the way for entry into Texas. Perhaps at the suggestion of media advisors? Further expansion later to set up a possible Eastern Division of the PAC is predicted by several fan forums. PAC West: Wash St, Ore St, Fresno St, Boise St, Utah St, SDSU PAC East: Colo St., Texas St, "X", "X", "X", "X"

      I believe Army has been a positive addition to AAC football as far as the ESPN media contract viewership. Especially with the great football season they just had. UNT has had several games on mainline ESPN channels in both football and basketball this school year. I would say the most in a single season in our athletic history. I don't think they would have elevated us if we didn't warrant it with ESPN.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      TxSt is at the right place, at the right time. Tulane and Memphis said no, UNLV and AFA got tied down to the MWC for extra money, it looks like the PAC doesn't want to bring up an FCS school, the AAC options come with a $27M exit fee hurdle. Who else is out there? NMSU? SHSU? The PAC needs to have an 8th full member before July 1st 2026 to keep their FBS designation. They don't have time to wait for options. They need to get schedules, and media partners settled. TxSt pays $5M to get out of the SBC, a very accessible number.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Agree, everything will depend on the dollar amounts. $12M a team and I think we see some teams making the jump, personally I'm just not sure if they can get much more than what the AAC gets. If the AAC media deal does drop significantly in 2032 I would expect teams to move then, plus you would have no exit fees since you are in between contracts similar to how the Pac12 fell apart. We'll see soon enough who their media partner will be, and what kind of appetite they have for content.
