I call BS on anyone here that would not have accepted a 200-300k to go finish your football career and get a degree from Cal Berkeley instead of UNT.  He was not ever going pro but that money and degree will potentially put him on a better path.  

 

 

disclosure: I have no idea what he was paid but I think that would be a reasonable sum in the current market for a G5 to P4 QB.

Cal Berkeley is a cesspool.

Ranked 17th in the country academically. Love my university but I'd take that degree in a heartbeat

I don’t disagree that everyone would take the money if given the chance. I think you are very naive to think that a kid at the top of the qb rankings didn’t think this move to Cal wouldn’t help him go pro.

They are having buyer's remorse.

I don't care what happens to them after they leave....  

I think it's rather amusing and telling to see what happens to them. Information like this is key to selling and rebuilding a brand. Plus, just straight fun stuff to know.

G5 programs need to put this stuff up in their locker rooms and start beating it into their players heads how unlikely it is that players do better after transferring. Signs of players with their UNT stat lines and then their next years stat lines would be quite eye opening. Even if you had to hang a few success stories, they would be far outnumbered by the failure stories like Rogers and Maclin, who went from 57 catches for 1,004 yards with UNT to 13/313 and sitting at home for bowl season with Kentucky.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      First College Net Rankings released

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
