He did them a favor. I think he had visions of splinters in his ass next year.

Dykes probably saw enough of his play to last a lifetime.  Hard to believe he is SMU all-time leading passer but it helps when you have NFL type receivers. I thought he was going to say he was going declare for the draft.

I wouldn't be surprised to see James Proche Jr transfer after this news. He's also graduating with a year of eligibility remaining and the coaches in Austin are well aware of his talent. The loss of Hicks would almost certainly reduce Proche's role at SMU next season but he could be a difference maker on a much larger stage at UT and drastically enhance his draft value.

Why? They're going to throw balls to him no matter what.  He's the best receiver on the team.

Will Brown is a talented athlete but he's not the proficient passer that Hicks is, especially the timing to hit receivers in stride. Why should a receiver of Proche's ability stay and battle that futility when he has the opportunity to play somewhere that could really showcase his talents.

I wouldn't exactly call Pix Six Hicks a proficient passer.

Well...if a lot of these players transfer, then it looks like SMU is going to have a lot of cap space. Look for them to make some big moves in free agency over the offseason. 🤨

      NCAA proposes new rules to allow direct payments to players

      Non-scholarship level? You know that's D3, right? To the general sentiment of your point, I tend to agree. UNT football is sort of a joke punchline. I was never sure it would ever do much, but I was somewhat hopeful. With the landscape the way it is, I am all but certain that UNT football will never be much of a anything. Even if we one day have a 2016 Western Michigan type year the market conditions would breakdown our roster as fast as humanly possible. It is literally impossible, with our terrible support and low football NIL to ever have even a smidgen of sustainability. Frankly, as I've said before, given our recruiting pecking order throughout the state and region we will never even sniff a 2016 WMU type season, IMO. I'm not sure how anyone could dispute this outside of ignorance/hope. So, the university athletics is clearly standing at a Y in the road... What to do? Keep kicking the can down the street and faking it while trying to swindle any possible donor they can? Or make wholesale changes to dress our athletic front porch up. From the looks of it, our basketball program might be heading back down into mediocrity... Are we going to do anything about it? Or just be bad to mediocre in EVERYTHING we do?

      Portal +/- numbers for UNT

      Ugly truth is we have no chance whatsoever the way the system is set up right now. The University sure won't pony up and neither with the donor based on the hires we have made.

      NCAA proposes new rules to allow direct payments to players

      More than 4 decades ago Corky Nelson told a meeting that North Texas highest aspiration could only be to become the best of the bottom 100 programs in D- 1 , anything else was delusional. Corky saved football at North Texas with dedicated coaches that could operate on very limited resources. Do not deceive yourself that this program can exist even in FCS form w/o football. Any attempt to drop football will only result to a drop to non scholarship competition. This level of athletics for a school the size of NT would be a disgrace and make us even more the laughingstock of this state

      Spring Practice Updates

      My question is how does this effect their academics? Does he stay through the end of the semester, or does he leave once he enters the portal? Once entering the portal, any aid from North Texas should cease immediately as well as any NIL payments.
