Whats up with everyone wanting to be in the SEC, lol....

Can you imagine NORTH TEXAS in the SEC, Fouts Field hosting the likes of Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, and LSU all in one season that place would fall apart and no NT fans could even get tickets to the games.

One could reasonably assume that if we had been in the SEC for the last 15 years, being a large state school we would attract SEC-caliber talent and would therefore be a pretty good program and would therefore have already had big crowds in a donor-supported and corporately-endorsed new stadium and it would be filled of our own fans.

I can't believe I just got sucked into this. Kill me.

I mean playing a well known team such as Louisana Tech, Boise State, Nevada, and Fresno State here at Fouts Field is alot more exciting then playing FIU, Western Kentucky, and Florida Atlantic.

[sarcasm]You have no idea how badly the Fresno State fan base is dying to come to Denton and watch the grinder of a game that would ensue! [/sarcasm]

Why stop there? Let's join the SEC!

Yes, an improved Conference Membership can WAG the team, stadium, and fan base to new levels. It's all about the "O". (opponents) B)

The SBC has improved even while we have not, yet our fans still crave OOC games that have better known teams. The SBC is what it is and is where it is...not in Texas except for us. Moving to a conference with better known and more regional conference opponents would greatly help us.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
