I feel like Mac should be getting  1-1.2m depending on how the rest of the season plays out. 

Agreed. Along with a healthy bump in his assistant coach salary pool and assurances that when the AC expansion project is complete that the new basketball area a is the next capital project for Athletics.

Easy to spend someone's else's money.

Baker is paid well to make those decisions.

If it was my decision, I would keep McCasland's salary at the top of CUSA basketball coaches.

Paying more than that IMO is not going to accomplish much.  I am confident that Mc has been offered more money and bigger conference gigs.   He must like it here, or he would be gone.

I think more than salary, bigger home crowds is a more important factor in keeping him happy at NT.

Well we'll sure have to be in the five year $10 to $20 mil range I would think to be anywhere close to being in the top 25 paid basketball coaches.  Because he certainly is in the top 25 basketball coaches in the nation.

I also think bigger crowds would go a long way toward keeping Grant.  He also needs to be the highest paid HC in CUSA and toward the high end of AAC coaches.  At least until we dominate the AAC as well.

Is he at the top of CUSA already? I couldn't find any recent info on salaries. 

 

I disagree if you are saying he doesn't deserve a bump. He has performed stellarly, and that deserves recognition. It shows that his efforts are noted and recognized. It also sends a clear message that he has the full support of the Athletic Dept. and UNT behind him, and IMO that message is the most important thing.

How can you say this when you know he deserves at least as much as Littrell is getting?? Shame on you we expect better from you @GrandGreen

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.

      Tulsa (3/14/25)

      Oh gosh. I grabbed a couple of tickets on Wednesday. Purchased them through UNT to do the green and white a solid. I guess 'Tier 3' means Toilet Level seating. Me and my guest will have an awesome view of the Tulsa band with these seats. Good grief. You know how you go to the Super Pit and inevitably someone is sitting in your seat when you get there? Yeah, I apologize in advance if I do it to one of you. I'm gonna be behind our bench like the women's games. GMG
