Kudos to UNC for not just telling them to go stand in the corner or giving them a scowl and a finger-wag. Perhaps the punishment will be sufficient to deter future transgressions and deliver a message to all.

No.  UNC should hit them where it hurts...…..the pocket book!!   Why not cut or seriously reduce their "cost of attendance" for a couple of semesters?  Hell, I would have kicked their asses off the team.  There is no place for this crap!

Remember when Dickey's team had all those players with their mugshots on the Denton County sheriff page?

One of those incidents was for players stealing textbooks from locker rooms and then selling them back to the campus bookstore. Some of those players were our favorite talents (purposely not naming names) and didn't see any notable suspensions. 

Though UNC is in a different boat because they have such smoke above their fire..  All programs have some smoke though. Unfortunately.

These types of situations should not be allowed to take advantage of the new redshirt rule.

How is this taking advantage of the redshirt rule? 

They need to get booted from the team...Anything outside of a parking/speeding ticket should warrant a boot from the team, any team. Too much of this shit has been allowed to manifest itself in the fabric of collegiate sports as if it's just a part of it and if it's not murder or basically taped rape, 9/10 they get a pass. I call BS.

I don't know. I mean don't get me wrong, the school has to react because this can easily become an NCAA violation with consequences for the school and it is a misappropriation of the gift. However, there is not exactly a need to completely nail those guys to a cross (unless they ran afoul of rules already once before). I do think that some of these dudes probably have trouble understanding that these shoes are not a gift to them but simply a work tool they need to take care of. If it were a gift you could do with it whatever you want. There needs to be a difference between this kind of thing and something that is a much more serious crime (domestic violence etc). So a suspension and maybe also a suspension of some future school issued material seems appropriate (since they seem not to be able to handle it).

Agree. This situation brought back to my mind a long-ago investments class. The lecture topic was selling stock short. The prof quoted someone who said "He who sells what isn't his'n must buy it back...or go to prison!". Maybe some sort of reimbursement mechanism should be placed on the offenders.

UNC screws over students athletes for over 18 years with fake classes....zero suspensions. Students sell gear that the school profited over? Intolerable, the worst of the worst, suspensions handed out like candy and some calling for these kids to be kicked off the team....for selling some damn t-shirts and sweatpants?! I guess the lesson here is don’t mess with money pot kids.

      No one knows the specifics of the deal, it's not public knowledge. People are waiting for this year's tax returns so they can see the public data that shows how much each school made, and then see how much it changes over the next few years. So unfortunately all we know is that by the end of the contract everyone will be making the same amount, and that's it.

      Temple (1/22/25)

      Sissoko has just been a different player in conference and I'm here for it. Lorient of course was MVP, but Massie and Floyd need some props for coming through this game. We really need for them to give us 6-8 points a game consistently and we are going to be looking good. Horrible foul call on Walker on that 3. Also they need to change the rules where you can't move your arm into a defenders hands that are already there to create contact for a foul, that's absurd. You can't even stand there as a defender? It needs to end.

      Temple (1/22/25)

      I don’t want to be that guy, but we have a good crowd for a great game and our defense was pretty much amazing all night. How do you sit in your hands and not get into the game? My wife and dogs thought I was crazy watching at home cheering on the good guys. I just don’t get it. The Pit should have been rocking. Students looked great, @greenjoe and I believe @Matt from A700 from shown a few times up and active along with others, but overall our crowd had got to get loud. I was never a fan of how NBA announcers cue the crowds but we may need to get Rob Coffee to start some “D-Fense” chants.

      Lorient’s Career Game Propels Mean Green To 76-67 Win Over Temple

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team remained undefeated at home with a 76-67 win over Temple Wednesday night in a battle between two teams atop the American Athletic Conference standings. Brenen Lorient recorded his first career double-double, scoring 20 points, which tied his career high and grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds and finishing with a career-high five blocks. Lorient has now put up double-digit scoring in five consecutive contests, where he's averaged 17.6 points per game and shot 62.8 percent from the field (27-43). With the win North Texas (14-4, 5-1) now holds the outright lead in the AAC. UNT and Temple (12-7, 4-2) were tied at 4-1 entering the day. "Home court advantages in basketball are real and I think our team felt it," head coach Ross Hodge said of the crowd and UNT student section. "[The game] was about what I expected — I have a ton of respect for Temple and respect for what coach [Adam] Fisher has built there." The Mean Green defense held strong on the night, holding the Owls to their fewest points scored in conference and fewest since Dec. 18 against Davidson. Temple's Jamal Mashburn Jr., who entered Wednesday 12th in the nation in scoring and averaging more than 20 points per game, was held in check by the Mean Green defense, going 5-23 from the floor and finishing with 16 points. Following Lorient in points on Wednesday for UNT was Johnathan Massie who finished with 13 points along with Jasper Floyd and Moulaye Sissoko who each scored 12 points. Sissoko extended his double-digit scoring streak to three games, the longest such streak of his career. The Mean Green continue their brief home stand on Sunday as they host Florida Atlantic. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at the Super Pit. 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.
