Ranking of the Value of C-USA Programs

[Coach Bill Lewis]

11. NORTH TEXAS

Breakdown: With C-USA based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, it made sense to add a large public university like North Texas. The program has tons of potential, but fan support is lagging and the football program has been inconsistent.

Facilities: Apogee Stadium is one of the nicest football stadiums in the conference, but it doesn’t draw great crowds. UNT Coliseum is a little bigger than necessary for the basketball programs.

Fan support: UNT fans have shown up strong at their two bowl games at the Cotton Bowl stadium (2014 and 2016), but crowds at Apogee Stadium aren’t very good.

I think ifs pretty accurate.

Not sure stating, "...but it doesn't draw good crowds" fits under the facilities subheader. Then, reiterating it under the actual fan support subheader...of course after throwing a jiving compliment in there about previous bowl attendances. 

There were backhanded complients littered all through this write up under just about every university.

 Just wondering after UAB pulled their scam of dropping football for a couple seasons how are they ranked number four in value?

This ranking is not worth the space on my screen. ODU number one? really. Its nice to tout the sellout streak, but if Apogee only sat 20k, UNT would have also had plenty of sellouts. And UAB 4th after their self inflicted death penalty?

No bias at all from this Mississippi rag.

What a joke this ranking is. Unt is top 5 in value in CUSA and once we increase attendance Apogee attendance and win consistently we'll be by far at the very top. In this conference we have more than potential. Our true potential should be one of the top G5 programs hoping to get into a P5, like Houston.

The article is right-on concerning the F_U programs.

If Apogee sat 20,000 we might have 2 per season if SMU is one of our home games.

To call MT's Murphy Center a "quality facility" tells you all you need to know about this So Miss dreck. That is the worst facility I have ever been in!
