A plea to our "football-only" fans
Which is why Cal has survived and will probably still survive…people go to games there to see Cal play teams people have heard of or care about. People don’t care about North Texas playing Charlotte or Florida Atlantic or Middle Tennessee or Western Kentucky. They care about SMU, UH, Tech, TCU, Baylor, etc…and those schools want absolutely nothing to do with being in a conference with us. As for Denton and UT having 40k in enrollment, a city with over 100k in population, and a giant metro area to draw from within an hour, ask yourself why they don’t come. Win in hoops? Attendance can’t get to 33% of the Pit. Football is king in Texas and Denton High Schools have awesome programs? But we can’t average 2/3rds capacity and have never sold out a 30k stadium EVER…Denton not caring for our teams isn’t a pity party—it’s the damn truth. And has been forever. -

Part of the problem with basketball attendance is that they are not playing any notable teams at home.- 1

Lampkin Matches Career High in 72-65 Win Over USF
With Hardaway out, they had no true PG and it hurt. They need Deck back in a bad way because she gives them another PG when Hardaway is out. Albeit she is not as good as Hardaway is at the point, but she is much better than anyone else. -

UofH Committing to match 20.5 Million Cap starting July 1
University of Houston athletic director Eddie Nuñez and his staff have spent the past several months crunching the numbers. Nuñez said dozens of different models were created for how UH would structure a revenue-sharing distribution plan with athletes that goes into effect this summer. “We threw a lot of things on the wall,” Nuñez said. While some details must still be finalized, Nuñez said UH is "all-in" to contribute the maximum-allowable amount of $20.5 million during the first year of revenue sharing. That represents a significant financial step for UH — which has the smallest athletic budget among Power Four schools and is heavily subsidized by the university — to remain competitive in the ever-changing college athletics landscape. Nuñez said a minimum $18 million was “a number we felt very comfortable” with because it “allowed us to have flexibility.” The figure could fluctuate closer to the $20.5 million cap depending on how many new scholarships the school adds. “The commitment was we’re going all-in,” Nuñez told the Houston Chronicle. “We’re going to do this at the highest level we can.” A federal judge is expected to give final approval on April 7 to the multi-billion House v. NCAA settlement, which will pave the way for schools to directly pay athletes. The revenue-share plan goes into effect July 1. read more: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/college/article/uh-athletes-revenue-sharing-20022189.php -

The year we hosted Cal their message board was full of posts saying they should drop football. This was during the transition to the ACC. They mentioned the students and fanbase didn’t care about their sports and attendance was continuing to decline.- 2
