George Dunham said on the Ticket this morning that he thought there were six cases within the department.

Perhaps he was also referring to folks who were quarantining.

Either way, I hope they're able to nip this in the bud!

You hate the football program and are actively trying to destroy it. Why would you post athletic department news in the football forum if it is not directly related to the football program? Your rag is trash.

You're giving me flashbacks. When I was editor of the NT Daily in 1989, any time we reported bad news related to UNT football we were told we hated the program and wanted to destroy it. But I loved the Mean Green and so did most of the staff. It wasn't our fault Kansas State ended its 31-game losing streak by playing UNT and their fans tore down their goalposts. We were just the messenger.

I think you of all people should be able to tell the difference in media coverage from 1989 to today.   I bet folks like you (who learned back in the 80's/90's) often shake your head at today's media, both print and tele.

That said, yeah, I don't think NTDaily sports writers (that's who Mr. Rios is) would try to torpedo their source of material.

Dammit I hate being wrong.  You'd think I'd get used to it after being wrong so often. *shrug*

The biggest problem with today's media compared to the 1980s is that newspaper revenue has collapsed and they can't afford reporters and editors any more. Advertising revenue for all U.S. newspapers was $65 billion in 2000. It's $17 billion today. Out of all the reporters and editors who were at the Star-Telegram when I left in the mid-1990s, I know of only one who is still there: Bud Kennedy.

You should also try out AOL for that interweb stuff. I hear its bodacious and radical.

      How FAU Could Afford To Fire Tom Herman (a sensible contract clause)

      The FAU head coach signed a five-year contract with a base salary of $750,000, including annual incremental increases. For the 2024 college football campaign, Herman’s salary will be $1 million. He’ll earn $1.25 million in 2025, $1.35 million in 2026, and in the final year of the contract, he’ll earn $1.5 million. Herman hadn’t been a head coach since the 2020 season when Texas fired him. He spent time as an analyst for the Chicago Bears in 2021, but made his return to college football when the Owls hired him after the 2022 season. With FAU headed to the American Athletic Conference, the Owls needed a coach who had experience and could recruit the area well. Herman recruited well at his previous stops, and the administration believed he could do it again in Florida. If FAU terminates his contract, he will be paid a lump sum of 20 weeks of his annual salary or the remainder of the contract, depending on which number is lower.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
