Regarding the football team, you can do one of three things.
1. Embrace mediocrity and keep donating to this program.
2. Appreciate this is the school you went to, go to 1-2 games a year, and be apathetic from a financial stand point to the program.
3. Stop following all together and buy a t-shirt of your favorite adopted program that gives you happiness.
I am trending towards 2 after 18 years of following the football team. The lack of regulation by the NCAA is slowly killing programs like ours. In the next 10 years, I imagine a separation of G5 and P4 schools due to the CFP media money. We're going to essentially be an FCS program with no path to the CFP.
NIL and the portal are killing off our already small fan base. Donors are like rats off a sinking ship after Luncheon-gate and the latest basketball hire. If Morris doesn’t have a big winning season he will be fired and we will be stuck with paying out another long term contract. The football and basketball rosters have become revolving doors. Seems like every day another disingenuous post from a player transferring out but claiming how how much he “appreciates” UNT.
I truly tip my hat to you that can make lemonade out of rotten lemons but Incan’t myself stomach much more of this crap. I am officially done.
I supported UNT athletics because I graduated from there and I felt like it was a good way to support my university as a whole.
I do not believe that anymore. We are just a stepping stone for people like Jared and coaches to use us to move up the NCAA food chain. Until they fix this NIL and portal crap I am officially out.
I refuse to fund this anymore with my money or my time. Time is too precious and there are endeavors that bring me much more joy and less pain. I wish all of you the best.
