If he is graduating with a degree from UNT best of luck.  If he is leaving for greener pastures without a degree, I hope it turns brown and he falls flat on his face

I hate the portal business. That is all.

I don't know why we keep ripping guys that contributed from day 1. There's a very good chance that this team would not have achieved what it did without Jason Edwards. If he was the complete package w

What we have right now is a game without rules. Games without rules are not fun. All of this player movement is bad for the game. College sports need fans. It is hard for fans to get emotionally invested in these teams when your favorite player ditches your favorite team to go play for someone else over and over again. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out: whether the NCAA can get an anti-trust exemption and put things back similar to how they were before or if the student-athletes get made employees who bargain collectively. And how is all of this going to impact the non-revenue sports? What a mess.

What trend is that?  Is one person a trend?  Are you insinuating that there will be more to follow soon?

Look who lost last year to KSU. The trend you have a player that has a strong year he will be gone. We will be the scouting combine for the P5’s.

Agree.  It's like trying to herd cats now!

That works.   Toss out their free education, books, meals, dorm and medical and let them pay for it with their NIL, like real employees have to.  

Well the university would need to pay them like employees , which would entitle them to employee benefits. The NIL has nothing to do with it. Their remuneration could be is the form of a salary or additional benefits such as tuition, meals,and housing,which would be assigned a monetary value. They also would be entitled to Workman's Compensation so if they were injured they could file a claim. This new world is a real can of worms but eventually will work itself out although we might not like the ending.

That is the way it is headed, with some college athletes already granted the right to unionize.  There is push also to have any athletic NIL distribution be handled by a player's school, vs third-party donor group.  I imagine any formal "employee" designation will lead to having a value attached to any education expenses, to make it part of a compensation package.

You know it's the off season when a portal transfer thread dissolves into a NIL discussion.

Bro you are on the FC Dallas and Arlington Renegades train right now!

I was just trying to clarify what trend you were referencing.  The one above, or the potential start of a trend of players from our current roster entering the portal.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Our All-American, Player of the Year, soon to be NBA draft pick Point Guard got injured while we were winning our Sweet 16 game.

 

 

Youre talking smack about things people that several of you knew that DIED without ever seeing anything remotely close at UNT despite being fans for decades. Instead of going back and forth with you, it's easier to call you stupid.

I sorta feel bad for Houston given the injury.  However, Tennessee was missing one of their best players tonight and still beat a Creighton team that I expected to beat a fully healthy UT squad.

And for UNT basketball, March hasn't happened in almost a decade.

Even if you mean the NCAA Tournament, we beat Purdue back in 2021.  Three years isn't even close to a decade.

Nobody cares about 69th place. It didn't help your attendance nor did it land any 4 or 5 star recruits

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      The offense is definitely still a work in progress. Our guards get stuck passing it around the 3-point arc to themselves and then launch a desperation 3. We set picks only to end up 5 feet away with the same guard dribbling covered by the same defender. What's the point? We drive the paint but become out of control and throw it up hoping to draw a foul. Sissoko backs down his guy in the paint several times and then misses a 3-foot shot. It gets old. Points off breakaways were our only offense last night. Better opponents won't allow that to happen. I get trying to drive the paint to draw fouls to go to the free throw line. McNeese did it to us and won the game on free throws because we are too handsy on defense sometimes. We built a 10-4 foul advantage on Oregon State in the 2nd half...then gave up 5 fouls in under 2 minutes as they drove the paint on us too.

      Earth to GMG

      Exactly, unless we are going to pay unrivaled G5 coaches salaries for proven coaches this is the way to go. Most people aren't in depth knowledgeable college football fans. And I sincerely believe that none of the coaches besides the top 20% really provide more value to the program than they are paid in salary. The Mean Green Football brand doesn't recruit well by itself. So either we need to get into a P4 conference or do something substantial over a 3 year period to change that. The extensions for Littrell was just stupid and we kept him an extra year to hire a clone just with some FCS head coaching experience. This program just does dumb stuff which makes all the losing insufferable. I know if were this bad at my job with clearly bad decisions creating these kinds of results year by year not only would I like lose my job. The company I am high up in the chain of command of would probably have massive layoffs. I do think if we could get a coach that has done something significant at P4 program South of Mason Dixon line in the past decade-15 year it might would worth paying 10%-20% more than what we normally pay. The opposite direction would be lowering ticket prices and playing just one "money game" a year and just hiring a "good coach" with "decent resume" like a Morris or Littrell.
