I don’t understand how they hold the coaches responsible for something that happened without their knowledge and outside of their time with the players.

But are any of the coaches on staff at that time coaching here today?  Also if you don't assign blame for coaches in situations like this then you can't give them the credit for avoiding stuff like this either.  To do so sounds like hypocrisy to me.  

But regardless of how you access blame it is just another example to me that Seth was overrated by many on this board for most of his tenure here.   When you are a G5 program spending near the top of the conference you are in judging is pretty simple IMO:

1. Are you over 0.500 vs Conference opponents?

2. Are you competitive in Bowl Games?

So I agree judging Seth or any coach for minor incidents away from the field, or training facilities is not fair.   But if he was fired after the 2021 season (or his first extended contract was allowed to expire) I wouldn't have anything negative to say about how Seth's time was managed here by the AD.

North Texas football team disciplined for 'fight club' hazing incident

The North Texas football team is facing discipline for hazing involving a “fight club incident" that took place in fall 2021, said Elizabeth With, senior vice president for student affairs, in an email to the North Texas Daily.

The allegation, made in September 2022, claimed underclassmen players were involved, With said. According to the university’s hazing violations webpage, the conduct process was resolved on April 16, 2024.

“The university conducted an investigation that was then verified by an outside review,” With said. “The investigation found, and the review confirmed, that hazing occurred but did not occur as part of any team training or activity and university employees were not aware until after the incident.”

 

With also said those involved are “no longer at the university.”

The university instituted sanctions on the football team in response to the incident. Athletes, staff and coaches will “receive training and education on hazing” to take place over the next three years, according to the university’s hazing website.

Every night is a slow night on ponyfans. It's a zombie board. Everyone is on the pay boards.

 

That said, it's a busy night on the pay boards, since ACC network is doing an SMU season preview from campus Tonight at 5:00.  I'm giddy. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

ACC network. Highly recommend.

Are you planning on any road SMU games this season?

You should definitely make a side trip up to Oakland, or down to Compton. I hear they are nice that time of year.

Great idea. As evidenced by the "Dallas" on our uniforms, SMU alumni are comfortable in urban and inner-city environments. We keep it real.

Your uniforms are deceptively in error.   "University Park" would be the correct location...

But UNT has still never been sanctioned by the NCAA. There aren't many 100 year old athletic departments that can say that.

The players are also called "students" so everyone takes a little latitude

I hate your university more every day.  Having grown up Methodist, I don't know why the church allows that institution to use their name

      HS Target ‘25: SF, DJ Thomas

      Hopefully he may contribute 16-20 minutes per game by year 3. His physique passes the eye test but he is not the big time recruit to get excited about. He played AAU ball with DJ Hall (Southern Assault) of undefeated/state champion Plano East Panthers. They appear to be good friends as well. Hall is a 6-6 beast around the basket and more impressive(though his recruiting list is not much better). I think we will have 8 positions to fill in the 2025 class so I'm ok with his potential.

      Time to go back to North Texas State?

      Interesting story. Thanks. I remember brief talk of “Texas State” back then. It did have some appeal compared to NTSU.

      DATCU stadium

      I'll repeat the reports of food running out. Specifically, I and others had to wait on fries and/or chicken strips. It was going to be a couple of minutes for frys (no biggie), but 10 minutes for chicken strips?!?! Maybe it was simply bad luck and timing. Also, the Cokes (Mr. Pibb) tasted odd. Tried two places. Seemed like the syrup was turned down. Possibly another form of shrinkflation. I appreciate they still have the free refills. Although it wasn't hot, I like the presence of the water stations. Cool water should be available to event patrons w/o having to buy a $4 bottle of water and these stations are much better than a simple water fountain. Good job.

      DATCU stadium

      I was irritated that the band didn't wear uniforms given the nice weather UNTIL I saw the combined event at halftime with the other HS bands that weren't in uniform. I think that made for a better integrated environment, so I gave them a pass on the decision.

      Why is the internet so slow in DATCU?

      I always got a strong signal. It's just that the bandwidth wasn't available. For cell service, you're completely limited to the number of local towers for the specific providers which can be augmented with temporary towers but that is an expense that isn't really practical for 20,000 people for 3hrs. But I'll say again, the stadium was sponsored/named for a company that is literally in the business of providing networking services to large universities. Granted, the task of providing Internet connectivity for a short-term event isn't their primary business, but given their experience and that they were directly associated with the stadium should have been enough for them to find a solution that wasn't based on cell service.
