Please help me clarify - In the last 2-3 years where SMU has paid for players, how many championships and Bowl games have you won?

So what's your argument here?  Are you suggesting the UNT strategy is better than the SMU strategy?

This hurts but @Chuck4334 please let him know that we are very grateful for all his hard work while here at UNT. He is a phenomenal player and will do well wherever he lands.

Ok, cool.  What if you don't? What if you bounce after a year or 2 and that becomes the norm as it's trending that way. What is going to be the 'come and play your butt off and get a degree' type

I think there is a tad bit of over reaction to the movement in the portal for us.  Taking this into consideration, I looked at what the other teams in the AAC have experienced including those moving t

Based on post season success and the rumored amount smu has paid for their roster, I would suggest our strategy is better at least from a financial perspective.  Looks to me like smu has blown a lot of money with little to show for it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This will be the first year where NIL was truly part of building our roster. We blew our initial load keeping Sonny from stealing our current players after he departed, and we didn't really get organized with the big money until after summer last year. Thus, small impact last year i.e 7-6 instead of 4 or less wins if Sonny poaches the best players, and we will hopefully see a larger impact this year. Post-spring reports have been good. We will see how it plays out this season.

This is the second recruiting class of the NIL era. We've had one season with any effect. Would you like to compare transfer classes?  Let's see how this season goes. If we don't blast through the AAC, then yes, it's wasted funds.

Comparing transfer classes is like comparing recruiting classes. They haven’t done anything yet.  A&M had a great class and most of them transferred out. The proof will be in the results.

I agree. We have the tools.  If we don't have a really good year then we have a coaching issue.  There is nobody in the conference who should be able to complete with our talent level, as it looks on paper.

Not saying Arnold is like this, but sadly many players, be it listening to family members or this crap with the national media, seems to think that being "on the team" at a top program is better than getting on the field and playing at a G5. For some, the "prestige" of P5 is more important.

He certainly has the ability to play there when healthy.   Hopefully he can, and has a great finish to his career.

I certainly hope so as well. He's putting a ton of faith in Hugh Freeze and the new staff to work magic with that QB room though. I don't follow Auburn closely but I believe their returning QBs threw for a combined 8 TDs and 11 interceptions, 2000 total yards, and a tad above 51% completion last season. One barely played so there's some unknown there. Seems to be blindly chasing a dream.

51% completion is something Shorter is used to

I believe Shorter earned his degree prior to last year.  I wish him well, but find it odd that he hasn't really tweeted anything out to North Texas.  I guess he would rather finish middle to bottom of the pack in the SEC.

Man, I thought the same. Shorter really said "this incoming Chandler Rogers guy completed nearly 68% of his passes? That's way too high! Let me go somewhere where the QB is closer to 50% like I'm used to."

So was Simms but everyone loved him and Roy Williams.

I'm still pissed at Jerry for trading the first and third round pick away for him.

Good.  Done with them.  Let's focus on our guys.

It seems some follow and cheer on those who leave closer and with more support than those we have or sign.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things.
