Teams are only allowed 20 hours/week, and 4 hours/day for football activities (like the regular season), between the end of the season and their bowl. This includes film study and walkthroughs.

There is no "15 practice rule", that is just a phrase some people use. Miami is definitely using their full 20, but may not be calling them "practice".

Edit: The daily and weekly hour limitations DO NOT apply to the following time periods:

  • During preseason practice prior to the first day of classes or the first scheduled contest, whichever is earlier.

  • During an institution's term-time official vacation period (e.g., Thanksgiving, spring break), as listed in the institution's official calendar, and during the academic year between terms when classes are not in session.

Glad about the extra practice but I hope we don't ignore recruiting either.

Thanks. I thought I remembered some limit on post-season practices no matter when the bowl game was played.

Obviously with a playoff system now in place, that certainly wouldn't make sense.

Excited to get back to the cotton bowl again!

It's not played at the Cotton Bowl any longer. It's played at THE Gerald J. Ford stadium in all it's glory.

We play in San Marcos 2026. Not sure if it’s a home & home?

Will our new DC be coaching? He should be very familiar with Tx State since SHSU played them earlier this season.

Don't think so, but I am sure he is in on gameplanning/scheming.

Morris vs Kinne, it will show who made the better choice on a coach. I know they hired him a few days before SL was fired, but I remember Kinne's name coming up a lot when people talked about letting SL go.

Seems like the early portal opening is going to massively impact bowl games from now on.  If we’re playing with our full squads, I’d expect TxSt to beat us badly.  Similar or worse than what they did to utsa.  By the time the game happens, though, how many players on both sides will have transferred out?

A blowout loss to this squad would not be good for UNT and really not good for EM.

Bobcats opened as a 7.5 point favorite.

I hope he is calm in game action.  He tries to go too fast,  to the point of poor throws and bad decisions.

I hope is not even on the sideline since he is running away again to the transfer portal

They need to dump the lesser bowls, with NIL and players leaving before the bowl game it doesn't make a lot of sense.  It is the second team playing in the bowls now.

 

I am not buying a ticket to go to the game.  Not much of point anymore

For a second I wondered how the athletic department might try to spin these Portal defections, and try to salvage ticket sales to the bowl. But there isn't anything they can do now to lure the disgruntle fans to this "bowl". 

Since we can't retain our better players, every year will be a rebuilding year going forward. I guess the old saying "There's always next year" will be our new battle cry.

Time to incorporate it into the school song.  Add some words about NIL and being Transfer U as well.

I'm sure some will attack me for this but, I think if you are a UNT fan and can make it you should go. I want to be there to support the kids that ARE staying and want to play for the Mean Green. I always think we have a chance to win, but this year, I just feel like these players deserve to have some fans in green at the game regardless of the outcome. GMG!

This is why until we can retain players consistently like some of our conference mates, we should be targeting portal QBs with only a year of eligibility remaining so we don't get f*cked for the bowl game.

I agree with this.  I much prefer establishing a tradition of the opening game of the season be against them(first verses FBS level team if we open against FCS).

I am underwhelmed, but I guess that is the best we could do with our record.

Why be concerned with what a deluded version of an underwhelming 6-6 Mean Green team does against a watered down version of any 7-5 or 6-6 G5 team?

And we should call Sammy and SFA and see if we can get the band back together. 🤪

No, we need to pick one.  Establish a scheduling tradition with them and ignore the others.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Yeah, while 10k students may be okay with this, the other 36k may not be happy about it at all, especially when all 46k are complaining about how expensive college has become. Having 15-20k students picketing to drop football doesn't help recruiting or TP enticements.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
