Good to know the American is leading the country in transfers.

It is the next best Bball league so the big boys come poach it, and we go to other conferences and do the same.  It is a vicious cycle.

I'm surprised the MWC is able to keep its players better than some power leagues. NIL money or is the west just not heavily recruited?

 

It's clear our league has a lot of standout talent, but not enough $$$ to keep them at home.

Does anyone know if a player announces he is transferring to another school, is that binding or can they back out whenever they want. Is there such a thing as a binding commitment anymore? You would think we have to be getting some guys in here on visits but maybe they just aren't making it public to try to hold on to some. Usually word leaks out,

No they can transfer out as much as they want is my understanding as there are no set rules being enforced.  It truly is the wild wild west!

Let me also add, I worry for Rubin and Aaron etc as they can be taken advantage of right now from these other schools. Evidently, James Reese and Drez did not get what they were promised when they left.  You are truly a stranger in a strange land in many respects.   And you have no laws to support you if they are bad actors.

From my understanding you aren't tied down until you enroll in the school. We've seen some commitments back out and re-open their recruitment, meaning they got a last minute offer and hadn't enrolled yet.

The Ivy league is higher on that list than the MWC, what is the MWC doing right?? 

Total speculation but many of those schools are in places with less competition for sports dollars so might be getting good community support for NIL. Plus a high percentage of MWC teams make the tournament so plenty of opportunities for the big stage.

Sorry man, I gotta call BS on that.  My niece ran track for Nevada and we attended some football and basketball games.  They have very poor support and their student services are worse.  There are no business of significance there quite frankly that would have dollars to give.  I can promise you schools like Utah State and Nevada and San Jose State do not have strong NIL programs or donations in general.

I'd guess that they aren't as scouted/watched/desired out west. The gems get picked up by the big programs, but the rest are overlooked.

This stat will mean more when we finish with our class.  Pretty ridiculous when we have lost five and signed one.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Yall can lay the blame of this all at the feet of the Pirate. Leach having some success at Texas Tech, at a time when A&M fell apart and Baylor was non-competitive, while nobody else but Texas was a Big 12 school, led to him getting some kind of legendary status. And his influence on TX HS football went off the charts, because it was “more fun for the kids”…and it basically destroyed the development of linemen on both sides of the ball and made defense a part of the game that just needs a stop or two per half. Hell, Art Briles said that out loud. Just get a stop or two. So now, we get the luxury of seeing a short yardage situation have the QB in shotgun, with a running back behind him, all about 4-5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to get a yard. And then the coaches look exasperated when we don’t pick up the first down/TD, as we get tackled behind the line of scrimmage.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      I don't hate baseball, but what I don't like is people who seem to want something for nothing . A dream with out a plan is still just a dream and far I have seen no plan to fund a venue. I went to a health care seminar years ago where a woman who's husband was terminally ill. About 70% of a dying patients hospital bill is generated in the last 24 hours trying to keep them alive. She said that she didn't care what it cost as long as she didn't have to pay for it. Based upon lack of football and basketball support at UNT why would you think that baseball " would lure fans in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and and merchandise. "However in the future, which is now, universities will be forced to look at at profit and loss is the athletic department just like the rest of the universities departments. My definition is revenues less expenses equals profit or loss.Based upon your definition of revenue sports swimming would fall into that category if we charged dollar to attend a meet, passed around a collection plate, and sold swim caps. In summary UNT has only so many beans in the pot and to waste them on a very expense non revenue sport seems ridiculous.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      Ask some of the podcasters, they would say "Oh he has Texas ties", "Look what he did with Cam Ward"

      Honest tactical question here…

      I don't understand the reluctance to incorporate some short-yardage options from under center. You can still be air raid or whatever you want the other 90% of the time. It's so limiting to not have it.
