I think we need to clean house.  Today was embarrassing.  We can do better than this!

Clean house. If Wren won't do it, clean out his office too.

Problem is there is no money to clean house

Of course not. There are so many people in that athletic department living under 6 figured salaries and to cap it off an AD knows he's safe at a place like UNT if the HFB coach is insulated with a high salaried long term contract. Baker has us by the nads and I'm pretty sure he knows it.

Not buying that excuse. The AD had money ready to send the basketball team to the Diamondhead Classic. The AD also paid to fly UTEP in, put them up in a hotel, and play at Apogee. Plus, buyouts are not paid all at once. And, the assistants work on one year contracts. Littrell could be gone tomorrow if our AD would do what is best for our program. If he won't hopefully our president and BOR will.

Yes, money is an acute problem.  Did you not notice that very few people could attend games?  Ticket sales, parking, advertising are almost gone.  

NT is primarily funded by student fees, and I would guess that will be a big issue with the current high reliant on online learning.  

I have been surprised not to see much worst money saving measures enacted.   

Hopefully, sports will be back to near normal by next football season.

We keep supporting the team and hope that magically SL learns to coach between years 5 & 6, because winning recruiting does not earn you a conference title.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
