“I made a commitment when I came to North Texas,” Jones said. “We have unfinished business. As long as the athletic department continues to support the program in the fashion that allows us to be a championship program, it gives you a lot of reasons to want to stay.”

I like this quote.

That's a good comment about having success in the NCAA tournament. Once he has that, the big boys are sure to take notice. Whether he stays or goes at such a time, I will remain appreciative of what he has done for our program.

Agree. If they go to the NCAA tourney this year, with 3 straight 20 win seasons, there will be other schools that come calling.

If Jones does leave, which seems unlikely, I would love to see us pursue the head coach at UTA. Anyone who can win at that god forsaken gym/stage has got to be a fantastic coach.

Agreed on both counts.

I think JJ stays here for awhile, but should he go I'd love to get Scott Cross.

Great quote by JJ. Success will bring offers and UNT cannot match the dollars that may be thrown his way after a couple of more winning seasons. If that be the case...good for him. He will have built a solid base at UNT and will have given UNT the winning exposure to bring another solid coach to UNt to continue to build on the winning ways JJ has delivered.

The quote about commitment from JJ was great! Sort of sounds like a few of the quotes coming from our football coach Todd Dodge too. Both are building solid programs.

GO MEAN GREEN!!!! Congrats to JJ and the team...win number 21 tonight!

The guy is a proven winner who would be able to really recruit the DFW metroplex b/c his "connections." UNT has used this "winning philosophy" in the past...why buck the trend now?

I see what you're saying...................and I like it.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
