Texas State? I sure that was pure speculation on their board as well a year or so ago.

UNT students need to vote on the stadium issue and see what happens with increased fees. Texas State is going to have to build onto to their existing stadium to get the D-1 minimum number for seats.

Some programs are at least going forward and not stuck in the mud or still pissing in waterless urinals.

1. I hope UNT never gives students a vote for anything athletic ever again, just mandate a fee.

2. There is no longer a minimum number of seats to be 1-A.

I guess I am whatever you say I am.

But god forbid that SWSTU out class UNT and beat the Mean Green to a better conference. They already have a nicer stadium, which doesn't say much. But what if they jump in CUSA or if they go independent.

I believe that going independent is better for SWSTU than coming to the Belt.

One of the biggest mistakes made around here in the past few years was allowing the students to have a yes or no vote on raising fees for athletics.

Why is that? Is UNT a jazz and music first university.

Or is it because kids at UNT don't give a rats ass about UNT because they consider it a community college? (Or as others refer to as a commuter school)

If the student won't vote for increased fees similar to those student in San Marcos, then Texas State will fly by UNT as did Boise, UCF, USF, Utah, Fresno, Nevada, W. Michigan, C. Michigan, and Cincinnati.

Not including many AA programs with much better facilities.

Well, if history is any indicator, the students won't vote for increased fees to improve athletics. The question then becomes, Does the administration/B.O.R. sit idly by and let all those schools continue to fly by us as we sink deeper into mediocrity, or do they take the bull by the horns and impose a reasonable fee increase to improve athletics?

A student vote IS NOT required to raise fees and/or tuition.

My vote for "Most Wise Post in this Thread."

Scotty,

Don't forget about my poster. And Scotty, look for my irresponsible posts and guest column on TY, the number one blog that gets the facts correct on UNT football.

Why am I going on TY, it Aloha baby, it hello and goodbye, it's spin or be spun. It's magic or is it tragic? It's aloha!

Your homie,

Floatie

Glad to see you've adopted your new name with ease. You were much easier to break than that stubborn Lavar Burton.

Leave Kunta alone. He was a cool cat in that movie.

Am I racist if I spit out my drink because of this one?

If so, will voting for Obama fix it?

Whatever happened to no taxation without representation? It’s absurd to think the students (who will bare the brunt of the costs) shouldn’t have a say on the fees. You would go nuts if your city council doubled your property taxes and didn’t have to be held accountable.

The best way to pay for the new stadium is to have the students vote to continue the fee for the health center to carry to the stadium. This will take care of the long-term dept on the stadium and keep fees the same.

If you want a new stadium so bad, then why don’t you start donating $300 year just like the kids at Texas State.

I paid a lot of fees at NT that I never got to vote on.

One has a choice to go to College. One has a choice where they go to College. This isn't a "Taxation without Representation" issue. Students (and Alumni) with degrees from this insitution get a bigger bang for their buck in terms of the visablity of that degree when we have a strong Athletic Program.

Nobody put a gun to ANYONE's head go to UNT. Sorry.

...and most on this board DO ante up and contribute probably the vast majority of what gets contributed (with the exception of the big money doners) so screaming at this group to do more isn't really very constructive.

Yeah, and those English colonists could have renounced their British citizenship and moved to Canada, no one forced them to be here.

But if they had done that, where would they be now? Speaking French and watching the 2007 Quebecian Curling Championship highlights.... does that sound like any sort of living to you?

It is the tough choices in life...

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
