This is about 20 years too late for them. I guess if by some miracle they did get it going I don’t think they would have the facilities to be FBS. There are just too many FBS teams as it is right now. I just don’t see them breaking through.

It talks about building a new stadium???

They built one right before they quit football. If I remember correctly NT played one game there. High aspirations.......

Love that DMN can post articles about a non-existent football program at UTA, but no mention of the  Mean Green and the upcoming bowl season! 

Yeah! Screw them for not speculating about our bowl game! 🙄

Do we really need another college team in the state of Texas? 

Do we really need another college team in the DFW area?

Sorry, ESports are not sports.

I can go either way with it. But we have competitive semi-varsity teams (hockey, lacrosse, rugby) that aren't even allowed to sell merch to offset their costs, but we have room for E-Sports. Got it. The Rec can eat shit.

I mean, I don't get it, but I know A LOT of college kids who will watch DOTA and don't care at all about actual outside against other people sports.

Not to you and I, but we're old. This IS going to be a huge thing in coming years. I heard a talk on esports at a networking breakfast a couple of months ago. The esports SuperBowl last year had several times the total viewers as the NFL' SuperBowl. The NBA is starting their now esports league and the current audience for NBA games on TV is getting old - averaging over 50 - as people in their 20s just don't watch it much and in steadily decreasing numbers. Here's a link to the NBA story.

Here's an article from Goldman Sachs on how esports in a major growth investment in years to come because 20 something and younger prefer it to "real" sports in steadily increasing numbers. At the breakfast, the speaker talked about the average NFL viewer is now 55+. Baylor is investing in esports already and is either now or soon going to be offering esports scholarships. I don't get it, but at first I didn't get texting either!

WTF, this is not a sport this playing video games. I can see it now, Chad is day to day because of a sprained index finger.  How can this even be thought of as a sport?   The rate it is going the P-5 will drive all the little guys into this arena.  Will we have e-cheerleaders and e-band.

 

UNT signs 4-star e-recruit Kenny.

I would love to see UTA start up  their  football program again.  We had some great games with them many yearrs ago and could have great games in the future.

I can see it now Metroplex weekend SMU vs TCU, UNT vs UTA. It doesn't excite me and it will water down the recruiting even more.
