I don't hate baseball, but what I don't like is people who seem to want something for nothing . A dream with out a plan is still just a dream and far I have seen no plan to fund a venue. I went to a health care seminar years ago where a woman who's husband was terminally ill. About 70% of a dying patients hospital bill is generated in the last 24 hours trying to keep them alive. She said that she didn't care what it cost as long as she didn't have to pay for it. Based upon lack of football and basketball support at UNT why would you think that baseball " would lure fans in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and and merchandise. "However in the future, which is now, universities will be forced to look at at profit and loss is the athletic department just like the rest of the universities departments. My definition is revenues less expenses equals profit or loss.Based upon your definition of revenue sports swimming would fall into that category if we charged dollar to attend a meet, passed around a collection plate, and sold swim caps. In summary UNT has only so many beans in the pot and to waste them on a very expense non revenue sport seems ridiculous.
I don't understand the reluctance to incorporate some short-yardage options from under center. You can still be air raid or whatever you want the other 90% of the time.
It's so limiting to not have it.
You know what millions of people would love to say? That my team is a national champion…hell, just a belief that they could be a national champion. And not the crumbs of getting one spot in the CFB playoff to be a sacrificial lamb to some SEC or B1G school.
There are currently 66 programs that are G5, including Oregon State and Washington State. Add in the top FCS schools to get to 72. Have 8 conferences of 9. You have 8 conference games, then schedule a round robin where you play two schools from two other conferences that is based on your previous year’s standing in the conference. IOW, finish 3rd and you play the 3rd place team in one conference and the 7th place team from another conference for your 10 games.
We gotta do something different or eventually, the support will completely dry up. And it’s not exactly a full bucket right now…
