In the past, I would have been shocked and very upset at losing a top player. Now, I just expect it.   I just don't care about college sports that much anymore and that is very sad.

And now, the dam will break. I expect to lose all our top players. The NCAA should be sued.

kick rocks, put his stuff on the curb once classes done this semester. Do not allow access to facilities to players no longer staying.

I mean he’s good and I wanted him back obviously, but let’s not act like he didn’t contribute mightily to our 5 game losing streak. The offense was not effective in the 2nd half of the year - much of that as a result of his inconsistent play behind a suspect OL.

Sucks cause the Bowl  game is down the tubes now.

this is why I am hesitant to give to the NIL. I don't see the point if all the top players just leave.  

OK, but UTSA was able to keep their star QB for his final season by getting together enough NIL money to make it worth his while to stay.  This isn't directed at you, but overall the sentiment among our fanbase seems to be that we don't like the idea of NIL, so we're not going to participate.  Then we're shocked when we can't compete with the programs whose fans care a whole lot more.  You get what you pay for, I suppose...

Pure speculation, but might he and others on offense have been distracted by negotiations with their new employers?

Guess one of our experienced backup QBs will start the bowl game…oh wait…

They have had a year of development under the tutelage of our QB whisperer, so we should be fine, right?

that our 2nd string is a walk on freshman is an indictment of EM's recruiting at QB outside of CM, who faltered quite a bit during the 5 game losing streak and was not sharp against Temple either

I've been expecting to find out that he got his shoulder hurt and was playing with injury during the losing streak. He wasn't the same quarterback after mid-season.

Funding NIL to a competitive level isn't about ordinary fans. It's about convincing rich alumni to fork over the bucks.

I don't think we lack fans who care. We lack loaded fans who care.

Sure, finding the billionaire who wants to make the Mean Green his passion project would be the ideal scenario.  But, accruing lots of small donations from regular people is also an important piece of the puzzle--or at least is a stopgap until our AD can convince the millionaires and billionaires of DFW to get involved.

We do, 250,000 alumni each give 5-10 bucks 

5 = 1.25 Mil

10 = 2.5 Mil

I find it hard to believe that each of our alumni can't give 10 bucks.  That is a 1 time donation as well.

How about each gives $100 per year.  We would be golden

I believe he thought Earl would be the backup after he gave him the opportunity to come back after he quit and then asked to come back. But I agree he should have found someone with college experience over the summer.

They brought Grant Tisdale in but it doesn't seem he was the answer or he would have gone in over the walk on freshman.

JD confirmed we are bottom 3 in the AAC for NIL. We simply don't have the $$ to keep players here.

Across most of the G5, I think alumni aren't going to fork over small donations in huge number until they get fired up about what the school is putting on the field.

Even the fat cats in the P4/3/2 are getting donor fatigue. "My biggest pet peeve, and I've told them: 'Y'all can't call me every year asking for millions of dollars. That's not gonna happen. I love my school but I don't love them that much." -- Charles Barkley, Auburn alumni

We offered 500k and he still walked. Screw him, let him go. He came here to play for Coach Morris and rejuvenate his career, and that's exactly what happened. Zero loyalty. If I were the coaching staff I would focus the NIL money we do have on other positions and a) develop young QBs and b) get mid-tier QBs to transfer in here knowing that if they have a good season they will leave. Coach Morris has proved that he can develop QBs, and we as fans of the program have proved collectively we won't give the money to NIL needed to keep these guys, so it is what it is.

DONATE TO OUR NIL. AS LITTLE AS $500 ADDS UP. JUST THINK, 20 GUYS ON HERE GIVING $500 is $10k, WHICH IS THE GOING RATE FOR A GOOD PLAYER IN THE PORTAL/CURRENTLY ON THE ROSTER THAT IS/WILL START FOR US DAY 1 (NON-QB). TO DONATE, CLICK HERE: https://www.thelinku.com/donate/university-of-north-texas

It would take us up in AAC, but no where near whats needed for the bigger schools for sure.   This is all going to slow down/change when revenue sharing begins from what I am understanding.  It will change from Pay to play, to an actual NIL where players will be required to do things off Name Image Likeness not just be a 3,000 yard passer.

This is the nature of the beast, sadly. Not surprised nor angry. It’ll just be a year-to-year thing for G5 football.

If CM gets more money to play somewhere else, I can’t fault him. Besides, this OL wasn’t good and he’d be running a lot trying to dodge DLmen. Hard to pass up $$$ while possibly moving on to a better team.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
