Don't tweet at recruits, huh? In this interview, he says a big reason why he committed is because of the love he was getting from North Texas fans on Twitter. Recruits love the recruiting game and the praise they get from it. This is 2020 and we aren't Old Denton anymore. Care to back track now?

SHHHHHH!! Don't anger them... plus it's already been talked about, so no point in bringing it up again.

Also, Billy deleted his comments to me saying they weren't so we can't technically say he said that

Again, these are going to get hidden if they keep flooding this thread. Clearly this topic is very near and dear to you and others. I suggest starting another thread to discuss your favorite topic to your heart’s content.

Had to make a whole new thread for this is ridiculous 

How is that ridiculous? This is a separate topic and doesn’t belong in a recruit’s thread. Definitely don’t understand how you think this is petty. The conversations are there in their entirety and can be continued without cluttering a recruit’s thread. 

You want to discuss Varkeyes Gumms, you do it in his thread. You want to discuss why you think it is important for fans to tweet at recruits, you do it here. Different threads for different discussions. Not complicated.

Well right on time, North Texas is behind the power curve once again. I appreciate that some think it’s fine and not a big deal, some think it’s a NCAA violation, sure, that’s a stretch and not enforceable. I will say that it’s only a matter of time that athletes will be able to make money on their image...or “brand” if you will. There are people already getting paid on Instagram and YouTube, Tik Tok etc for the amount of followers they have. Recruits know this and you best believe they care how many people pay attention to them on social media. I’ve said this for 4 years we need to step up our social media presence because recruits do want that clout. It’s the future, let’s embrace it and not stick our head in the sand and pretend it’s not a thing.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
