NT Compliance officer stated...NT applied for a waiver from the NCAA because former guard Rich Young had to travel home to Pennsylvania multiple times during the 2006-07 season while his mother was sick. NCAA denied this request.. if it had been approved it would have pushed NT BB well above the 925 mark with no ship lost. Young will graduate belated this summer which will help NT's score.

so let me get this straight leaving school to attend to a sick relative is not enough to get an appeal from the NCAA for academics, but being a drunk getting into fights will earn you an extra season of play.

Great precedent NCAA. :rolleyes:

What a bunch of garbage...... Go to TY sports they have a well researched argument concerning this situation.

are the dick jokes well researched, too? I think that's why they get their readership.

not sure though. Ask RV.

Tasty - excellent blog on the whole IU/NT comparison.

Thanks.

For my next trick... I'm going to dumb things down significantly.

It should be a North Texas crowd pleaser.

Well, this whole loss of a BB ship was a real downer. I had been checking this board constantly in eager anticipation of our next signing. Hopefully we took care of all our roster needs for this upcoming year. I am very excited about 2008-2009 basketball season... now the long wait sets in.....

I believe I read somewhere JJ quoting he has filled his roster needs.

Can't find it while at work right now, so please disregard.

He did say that. However, I don't think that he'd say anything else otherwise at this point.

      It's a real question to ponder, but what is it gonna take? I've been told that it would take us being a winner. Then, it was we need to make a postseason tournament. No, we need to have wins in the NCAA Tournament or NIT. We have done all of this. The only times I ever see anyone in Denton show up big time for a game in the Super Pit is for games against power teams from the region (Tech, SMU, OSU, etc...) Otherwise, nobody goes. So they basically go to watch the other team play, whether to see the other team win or get beat. Who is making it so cool for the students and the local citizenry to be apathetic or hate our sports teams STILL in 2025?? I mean, I get that when we were in the SLC, Big West, the SBC, or even CUSA 3.0, people could look down on the situation we were in. But the American is the BEST conference situation we have ever been in for the current NCAA Basketball environment--brand names that have made big runs in the tournament over the years like Memphis, Wichita State, Temple, Tulsa, Charlotte, UAB, and even, now, Florida Atlantic with their recent Final Four run. And we have in-state games still with Rice and UTSA. And all of that equals being THRILLED to have over 4000 in attendance... I'll never understand. And it will not make a lick of sense to me when we see about 500 people in FW for the AAC conference tournament, either. All it does is reinforce to the local media that we are some commuter school that even our alumni and students don't care about. And maybe, in the end, that's the reality that will never change, either.

      Look who is #12 on this list...

      Kinda interesting to see what the Power Conferences' media is saying about Ross. Mid- and low-major college basketball coaches ready for power conference jobs - ESPN

      there were a few games where students had a hard time getting their tickets, kept my daughter in the dorms a few times because the ticket system was not working for the students.

      Thinking about the Super Pit....

      I think for individual seats the season ticket donation is right around a hundred dollars and the loge seating might start around $1000 per seat. For comparison sake courtside/floor seats are several hundred dollars per seat. I want to say it was like $400 for men and $175 for women? I don't remember from the last time I renewed my seat. I can't speak for the loge seats but there is a waiting list for floor seats and I expect the minimum donations to increase over time.
