That decision was a disaster but can we really still be blaming it in 2025? USF didn't even have a football team in 1995. UCF was an FCS independent that year. Both rose up, UCF all the way to the P5/4/3/2. Our excuse is older than their time in FBS.
I think the biggest reason we lack deep-pocketed alumni support is our consistent lack of success. We have to win games and keep winning them to make a difference. Otherwise this will continue to be just us weirdos who bleed green and the current crop of commuter students.
Edited to add: I should also blame the lack of leadership at UNT that enables success.
girls shoot the second best round of the day (along with charlotte) at +7 and are now in a tie for 4th with memphis at +15...tulsa still leads at -7
last round tomorrow
I'm really tired of this argument. Cam Ward means nothing to Mean Green Football. Stop bringing that dude up.
If you want to say he ID'd Rogers & Morris (both successful QB's here), that's fine. Let's hope he's 3-for-3 with Poffenbarger.
Because we nuked that group in 1982 with the 1-AA fiasco. You basically killed off alums who still did care about the school's athletics that had graduated any time before 1995. And even then, it wasn't until the 00's that we ever showed a hint of being able to actually win as a FBS squad, albeit against the dregs of the CFB world. The BMDs we need are ones who graduated during the nuking of the program. I mean, seriously, there's a reason there was the UNT 17, when we need about a UNT 1700.
So, now, when we will see what almost everyone else has in place, probably won't be until 2045 or later. if then. Having your administration show everyone that you'd rather host a faculty fajita lunch at the Super Pit than host a NIT game here against Oklahoma State is not exactly helping to cultivate BMDs for athletics.
Businesspeople with UNT degrees are mostly pro sports fans or t-shirt fans of the Power Teams. There's a reason that 2% of the UNT alumni base cares enough to donate to athletics, and that was before NIL and the Portal began killing the college sports world. Today, I'd be shocked if its 1%.
