It would be borderline criminal for anyone to tell him to pass on an opportunity like that. I know we’d all like to keep great players forever but if Chandler (or Tylor Perry for that matter) came up to me and said “I love it here and I know you love the mean green, what should I do?” I would tell them ten times out of ten that you can’t pass up an opportunity like that because it may never present itself again in your lifetime.

I agree players are doing what they think is best for themselves and while I may not like it I do not blame them. But at the same time players and fans should not be surprised when fans treat players like commodities and have no loyalties and feel more than free to show unhappiness with their play and comment about it

Any word on Caponi hitting the transfer portal?

I'm just happy all these players have the freedom to make their own decisions and if financial windfall is their motivation for the hard work and sacrifice they've put in for years, well, they've earn

 Mainly I'm not going to concern myself with someone who no longer cares about my University once they leave. 

How do you know they'll no longer care about North Texas once they leave?

Just so yall know

 

 

Safety Logan Wilson and WR Detraveon Brown are now in the portal.

Detraveon hasn't been on the roster all year and Wilson is replaceable.

Logan Wilson was an honorable mention All CUSA in 2022 and played significant snaps this past season. I'm not going to believe he was encouraged to enter the portal when we play a system so heavy on DBs.

Something to keep in mind. I am hearing a lot of these players entering the portal are being recommended to. Make room for upgrades

Something to keep in mind.  I’ll believe in the “upgrades” when they sign and show up.

That's probably happening at every school to some extent.  That means we'll be picking through a portal made up largely of players who were recommended to leave by their respective schools/coaches.  Keep that in mind.

He was serviceable, but hard to cry over losing some of these defensive guys. Besides, we have a lot of young DBs we got this past cycle. Almost like hitting the reset button

DB Chris Wright enters. I believe he was with us for 2 or 3 seasons. 

Sorry to hear this.  Chris was a pretty big deal at Aledo HS.  I thought he was a defensive end?

I agree but I also when I've left the company I don't expect those at the company I left to still be cheering for me. I don't blame him for what he does, but my ties to these players is they were playing for North Texas. Once they leave I'm not going to wish them bad luck but I'm also not going to wish them luck

Do you expect them to wish the worst for you?

He was a DE here.

Many of you keep talking about revenue sharing.  Most athletic programs do not make money.  They are kept up by student fees, an allocation from general institutional budgets, or some combination of both.  This is why administrators are always chasing the dollar.

Oh, the football teams for the 30-40 biggest schools make $$$ and those football teams will be what gets carved out from the athletic departments and will become some new entity that shares revenue with players.

And if you think athletic departments don’t make money now, wait until the big time football programs spin off into something else. It will mean the end of college sports as we know it and the non-revenue sports will take the biggest hit.

We have two NIL collectives (one grassroots and the other providing $40k/player).

Between the two we have a top 15 NIL nationally.  That's where the $$$ is coming from. 

Yet even SMU can't keep their QB. Is this really the college football landscape you want to be a fan of?

He was a DE out of Aledo.  I don't recall him seeing the field.

All of this is very interesting. Many on this board have preached all year that most of the players except Rogers, a few receivers, and the RBs were no good and needed replaced. You are getting your wish. UNT is taking the Texas State approach and you will see at least 50 new players next year. All the talk of culture and family is out the window and since we have no real NIL, they likely won’t be the dominant power 5 transfers you want.  It will be interesting to see what it looks like come fall camp. I hope it’s successful.
