Maybe I am wrong but I read that there is a 50K entrance fee no matter what, someone feel free to source alternative info. 

Multiple sources state the fee is to host:

Few respectable college basketball programs are interested in handing over $50,000 for a glorified practice, but to host a first-round game in the CBI, that’s the fee a team has to pay — on top of regular operating expenses. Reach the semifinals for best-of-three championship series? That’s another $75,000 a night.

It's a strange instance where teams prefer to travel over playing at home.

Apparently, I'm in the minority in thinking this is money well spent.  This program needs to begin to set a culture where postseason action is the expectation.

The 5 win 2016 football season ended with an academic-driven HOD Bowl invite, but I think we all saw how beneficial that was for Littrell and his staff to support their culture change with the players.

I see similarities with the CBI - especially if we can make a run

I wish they would cut the CBI and CIT and just make the the NIT 64 teams. These tournaments cost money and rarely have teams that will catch the average college basketball fan eye. The NIT draws much more attention and is nationally televised. I understand UNT wouldn’t make the NIT, but enlarging that field gives more mid majors something to fight for and avoids that awkward moment where you have to pay to be in a tournament with sub par teams. 

Disagree. Might as well start a G5 CFB  playoff while we're at it. it's conceding, and the dickheads that be will grow that to a G5 glory trophy. More coaches need to be publicly bitching like UCF in football and Middle and St Mary's in bball. Every coach and University in any and all sports at this "level" when on runs have to be obnoxiously vocal. It's a branding thing and it has to happen.

Oh, I believe MTSU should have made the big dance. I was just voicing my opinion on the other tournaments. I don’t see the point in having them.

The apathy about this game is crazy.  No emails from the a.d. telling how to watch it.  Are we sending a radio crew?  What about an email announcing the game.   Are there any watching party's?

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.
