  1. 1. Do today's moves make you want to renew your season tickets or give to the NIL fund?

    • Yes- I'm a die hard

    • No- I hate the direction of this program

    • Would consider tickets but hell no to NIL

That part sucks.  Seems like a few senior players families were upset on Twitter last night.  I don’t blame them.  It’s next man up, though.  I’ll be there supporting the squad. 
 

I mean that’s really admirable for you and all and we all respect your loyalty but how is this situation going to help us attract the other 95% of UNT alumni to get behind the program financially?

I think the bowl matters. I got a text from a UNT alum (normally doesn’t care about UNT football, but is going to the game).  He doesn’t know/care about the TP or NIL. He only cares about the game on Jan 3.  If we win, I believe he’ll have a bit more interest in next season. If we lose, it’s the same old.

      I hope

      I’m sorry but this is a bad take. Ya it sucks and I wish the portal didn’t open until after bowl season, but I can’t blame players for taking life changing money.

      Top 50 NIL Budgets for Football (Memphis makes the list)

      OK...well that's not true. For those that "give a little to NIL" That's admirable. Truly is. (This is going to come off like I'm being a jerk...I'm not picking on you...but look at this objectively) As for giving a little to NIL, that's great and all. Also Andy Dufresne eventually broke out of Shawshank. Took him just under 20 years. But we can keep digging that wall with our little $10 a month rock hammer...short of a billionaire or 50-60 millionaires coming in here with some dynamite or a bull dozer....that's what giving to our NIL in this landscape is like. Sorry, but it's just true. Remember, we have to compare out program in today's landscape. We can refuse to believe that we're not a poor program and our opportunity to have a winning football team is over...that doesn't make it not true. In the context of today's college football world to use another Moneyball reference as I believe @FirefightnRick used one earlier: "There are rich teams, and there are poor teams, then there's 50 feet of crap......and then there's us." Saw on another thread that Chandler Morris may have gotten around $1 million to go to Ok State? (I don't believe that but we'll see) But let's say he got $500k. Very reasonable in P4 for a decent QB. That one player would be getting more than our entire NIL budget? Do we have close to $500k for our entire team? We cannot compete in this new world. Wishing we could and giving $10 bucks per month doesn't change that. It's just not enough. If most of the G5 do not break off and do something else, I have to question the UNT leadership's judgement in trying to keep and run a football program in today's world. If Morris DID get that much....then throw everything I said out the window. We're in a totally different stratosphere and it took less that 2 years. What will it be 2 years from now? Will there be a $10 million player in the next 3-5 years? I don't see how there won't be. We have to understand the unbelievable amount of money that is out there. It's beyond anything we can fathom. I'm not protesting NIL. It's a free market. I don't blame the players or the schools with the means for doing what they're doing. Want me to get interested in UNT football again? Have the UNT Leadership step up and lead the rest of the G5 in breaking off and giving me something to hope for. Cause this ain't it.
