Or get good. I mean all of these dormant alumni would proudly talk about them being UNT Alumni if we have a FOOTBALL run like Boise or Cincinnati or Memphis or SDSU or Coastal Carolina, even JMU. It’s bizarre that in all these years I’ve followed the Mean Green we’ve never hired a coach that has led us to a magical run.
Meanwhile UTSA gets Coker and Traylor in a span of a few years. FAU gets Schellenberger and Kiffin.
If Morris doesn’t deliver I hope the next coach has won as a head coach at the collegiate level equal or better to the AAC. Napier comes to mind but he couldn’t win above the SBC as the head guy. Experience has always mattered in my book.

NT and TCU haven't played in men's basketball or football in over twenty years.
TCU is playing the old SWC game, of ignore them and hope they go away.
The last thing that SMU and TCU want is a strong NT to compete against in games or recruiting.
Both TCU and SMU are substantially overpriced for the value of their degree. They are generally perceived as rich kid's schools that don't come close to generating the educational value of a Stanford, Rice, Tulane, A&M or the University of Texas.
This is the biggest threat to our Athletics program: campus indifference, lack school spirit and sports support. Cal is having the same issue. The key is to recruit sports fans from the surrounding communities to fill the gap. Eventually as the teams get better, and better quality opponents, the games become an event, even to nerds and wallflowers.
