And how much is Florida paying us to play them this year? Probably around the million mark, right?

Well RV set the deal so I assume Florida will cover our airfare on Spirit Air and throw in 15 fee checked bags and cover our insurance co-pays for up to 20 injuries. I think they are also throwing in a free pregame meal from Perkins(tip not included).

This type of scheduling takes a lot of the financial rewards away from playing the guaranteed away game.   You spend approximately half of your guarantee for playing the Florida and UT's of the nation for a game to balance the schedule that few care anything about.    I like the away game against a big time P5 club because I believe its helps in recognition, recruiting and obviously financially.  

However, I would prefer an every other year 5 home game schedule and another home and away series with a solid opponent than playing a lower division school every year.   It makes a lot of financially sense and would provide a lot more scheduling opportunities.

Despite what a few think, no scheduling philosophy is going to make everyone happy.   RV came up with his scheduling objectives based not only on the expressed displeasure of fans about years without 6 home games, but I believe that McCarney wanted the lower division opponent to ease the schedule.   A lot of irony in that thought.

This.

And if you are playing SMU every other year in Dallas, you can use that game as a pseudo-home game while playing a team in OOC at HOME that people want to see.

I wonder how many Texas 1-AA teams would come to Apogee for less than that guarantee and maybe bring some fans with them.

 

Extra points to anyone that can tell me what city Buthune-Cookman is from without looking.  I'm counting on your honor here.

I think the Texas Southern payout was $250K.

Only because I read an article in the Orlando newspaper about their qb, I'm saying they are in Orlando or a suburb of Orlando.

I'm guessing Daytona, because that is where the rainout with Alcorn was being played.

Now I'll go look it up because you've raised my curiosity.

I would guess that they're originally from the City of Bethune, the old culinary capital of northern France.

Hey, my 1000th post. Only took me 13.2 years. Maybe that's a good omen for tomorrow, so I'll quit posting until post-game.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
