Nope, fortunately, we're not on it!! But, perhaps this is a recruiting tool we can use to sway prospects against Texas and Baylor?!?!? :lol: :lol: :blink::unsure:

15 Worst College Crime Areas

Any kid who doesn't immediately recognize Waco as a festering pit of despair that needs to be avoided at all costs... Well, they probably don't have the mental capacity to gain admission at North Texas.

Any time Riley is on the field there are numerous thefts of the football ball. That shoulda got us on here.

I kid, I kid. Too easy.

I'm glad you clarified what sort of object a football is - I would have been really confused otherwise! ;)

I'm not going to "subscribe" to find out, but I can't imagine Texas Wesleyan University, located in the Poly Heights section of east Fort Worth not having one of, if not the title in the violent crime category for college campuses. There's been several murders within a block or two the past year, one of which I made myself, and countless attempted murders, let alone the theft and drug trafficking that goes on a daily basis, all within a block or two. How they keep their doors open is a miracle to me. And hasn't TCU had a series of rapes the past year?

I would take some self defense courses and probably rethink being so honest. Remember, on the first day, go try to beat up the biggest badass and, should you come out ok, the rest may leave you alone.

I had to read this post a couple of times b/c on it's face it appears you just confessed to murder. I realize you meant you responded to the crime as a public servant.

Also, the stats are for property crimes. I'm not sure murder or rape count as a property crimes.

Lousy 13th and 19th amendments... :angry:

Good thing the 21st amendment lets me dull the pain of our modern society.

I can't believe the University of Houston didn't make the top 15.

If they were in a better urban-conference, their ranking would immediately go up regardless of the criminal talent on the roster.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. In fact, when I first visited U.H. I thought the area it's located in looked like a large version of Texas Wesleyan's area.

I have had the priveledge of working with our departments' most senior FF on my shift, at my station the past 5 years. He's been working the Poly area for over 36 years and whenever we get out to do inspections and have the time for him to reflect back, he'll point to a certain corner or building or business and tell us....

"...there was a double murder there,...they shot the clerks head off with a shotgun in this store back in.???,...A prostitute had her ------ cut off behind that building,..had a family robbed and murdered in that house..." and on and on and on, all around TWU's campus. Apparantly back in the late 70's and 80's before P.D. Chief Windham's weed and seed program was put in place the Poly area was a near war zone. The stories are amazing and although the murder's are not as bad, the theft and drug crime is still there today.

I know someone well who was carjacked, kidnapped, and nearly murdered after three guys grabbed him at gunpoint on the edge of the Baylor campus. After they took the 5 bucks out of his pocket, they drove him out in the country looking for a place to kill him. He jumped out of the car while they were doing 50-60 on a country road and ran away as they opened fire. One of them is dead and the other two in prison. Scary stuff.

Shocked that Texas Tech did not make the list.

--TxTech is in West Texas.... We hang first offenders.... no chance to repeat them... keeps the crime rate down.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
