Not sure on that. I'd love to see an empty stadium wherever UTSA goes. I dont want them anywhere near Texas.

I think the teams turn the bowl games funds over to the conference, who then disperses the monies equal shares (with the bowl teams getting bigger shares, but still equal to each other).  So it doesn't really matter which bowl game you get to, you're getting the same payout as the other bowl teams in CUSA.

CUSA bowl payout work like this:

  • All payout money is sent to the conference.
  • Conference covers travel costs for teams.
  • Remaining money is shared out to ALL conference teams, with bowl teams getting an extra share.

That's what I thought.. 

When I meant more money for UNT, I want to see CUSA get the largest total bowl game payouts - the lowest possible travel costs.. Yes that doesn't mean UNT gets more money compared to other schools, I meant it as UNT gets more $...

Yes in a perfect world I would like to see someone like UTSA go to Hawaii or outside of the country, but Show me the money!

How about we root for UTSA to lose another 4 games?

How about we just worry about winning and hoping CUSA has success? The more success in CUSA the better.. even if it means UTSA gets into a bowl

Honestly, with the trajectory we're on, I think something would have to go wrong for either of those bowls.  C-USA is not going to send a champ or runner-up to play the SBC champ in NO.   And I think the NM Bowl is down in the CUSA bowl pecking order, playing a mid-range MWC team.    But, we'll see.  I know I'd be at either game.

Why do you think CUSA would not send a 1 or 2 to play the Belt camp in probably the best bowl location available?  We talk about the P5 getting all the attention and than opt for a game against a 6-6 P5 instead of G5 champion.   Also I am not sure the conference has a lot of input in the bowls anymore.  

More publicity playing Nebraska for example vs the number 1 Belt although; Appalachian State is currently rated higher on the Massey Composite than Nebraska.  Nebraska also would probably bring a bigger crowd.   So there is rationale to pick the bigger name school, but the reality is is that either game would be a heck of a match.

I hate UTSA enough to not want them in a bowl. You can wish for that but I’ll keep my furry against them with me. I want what’s best for UNT and that means having local Texas CUSA teams in the dumpster like Rice and UTEP already are. More recruits on the table for us, meaning more bowl games for us and less for them. If the conference goes to 9 bowl games, we get 1/9 of the “prestige” pot anyways.

I believe there is no way they would send us to HoD for the second year in a row, especially since it's not a CUSA bowl this year. And I can't imagine we'd play Army for the 4th time in 2 years; it was ridiculous enough that they had us play them in last year's bowl. If we win the conference, I think they would choose New Orleans to bring back those '01-'04 days. Otherwise, my money is on New Mexico. Us and UTSA are going to be the only texas schools in CUSA to be bowl-eligible, so one of us is likely to go out there for geographical reasons (the furthest west schools in CUSA). UTSA went there last year, they would probably go to Armed Forces and play Army; while we would go out to Albuquerque. For mid major conferences they try to send schools to places that make geographic sense.

I'd be happy either way, we'd get a good crowd in both places. But yeah I would love UTSA to be as far away from Texas as possible.

I am not interested in playing Army or any of our old Sun Belt foes in a Bowl.  I would like to see a ranked MWC team or a AAC team.  

Hard pressed to find a ranked MWC any time soon.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.

      College football could become a career especially when you look at salaries for QB's. Basically the Michigan qb could retire after four years. So we are going to see more 24 and 25 year olds in college sports? Does this hurt the NFL?
