If you can accept we are a minor league now
The AAC is a good conference, it has taken this school decades to get here, and is a very good achievement for a school that does not usually put a lot of emphasis into its athletic program. The school has some very good athletic facilities that as good if not better then some P5 schools. The big thing that I see holding UNT back is the culture, students seem less interested every year in attending games, and as they graduate and become alumni they are less interested in supporting the schools athletics. -

Schedule tidbits via Coaches Caravan
I don't buy it. Let's look at our conference and see what notable opponents our conference mates can get at home. USF: Central Michigan, Loyola Chicago FAU: Loyola Chicago, Liberty, Charleston, FIU Charlotte: Georgia St., Davidson UAB: Southern Miss, McNeese, Drake Memphis: Clemson, Virginia, Vanderbilt SMU: Texas A&M, Dayton Tulsa: Loyola Chicago, New Mexico St. ECU: Georgia Southern, South Carolina Tulane: George Mason Temple: Ole Miss WSU: WKU, Richmond UTSA: Army Rice: Harvard, Louisiana That's a myriad of teams with different reputations and rankings, yet they were all still able to get solid opponents at home. What was our best home opponent? UT Arlington? Is that on the level of any of these teams? Not to me. Every other team in our conference can schedule solid teams at home, so why can't we? We need to be objective and call out when things aren't done well.- 2

Schedule tidbits via Coaches Caravan
Who's job is it to schedule these games, obviously these games are worth a good chunk of change, I would think that the university would have someone who's dedicated job is set these games up. I know the coach has the final say in scheduling, but I wouldn't expect him to be handling the details of scheduling. -

Nick Saban: 'Maybe This Doesn't Work Anymore'
Everyone is paying for play in reality. But they all conform with the technicalities of the laws/rules by doing things like requiring the athletes to do certain interviews or events to justify paying for their NIL. Trying to back collect would break the technicality.- 1

I bet you were not around during NT's 1aa days, are you would know that it was a disaster. You think attendance and coverage are bad now, it was almost non-existent than. The benefits of playing D1 go far beyond athletics. It is a relatively exclusive club that provides more exposure to the school than anything else. Students may not ever go to a game, but it is very possible that their introduction to NT begin with coverage of NT's athletic teams. As far as your analogy to high school, playing is better than not playing, but what does that have to do with NT's sports? Are you advocated that NT drop down to give lesser players a chance to play. Invest some of that money saved by dropping D1 sports to build a fantastic intramural program.- 1
