A new conference needs to be the reason he hired Chuck. For the last ten years we've had a hard time developing a fan base and marketing this program in the Sun Belt. I don't see a plan where Neinas can change that. North Texas is always described as a school with great potential. As long as we stay in the Belt we will keep that dubious title.

This needs to end with North Texas moving to a better conference. Anything less, I see as failure.

Bosie got in to the MWC. That is a success. Gonzaga is an entirely different type pf school. Do they even play football?

If we didn't play football and our whole focus was basketball, we never would have needed to leave the Missouri Valley Conference. I need a better example.

My point is we only draw 18,500 a game because we haven't been good, and we play in the Sun Belt. Even if we play well and win, playing in the Sun Belt will always hold back our ability to develop our fan base. I believe the long term success of North Texas athletics depends on our moving to a better conference. If we can't get in a better conference, it won't matter how many new athletic facilities we build. The better recruits will still go to the better conferences, our fans will still not show up in the numbers they should, and we will continue to envy the funding of other athletic programs, while trying to do more with less.

If we are still in the Sun Belt in 20 years, they will still be calling us that school with lots of potential. I don't want that.

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      I think that at one time NT might have had some questionable standards (such as math/science classes for "non-math/science" majors). However, that has all changed. Sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's NT changed their "core requirements".....in an upward manner. No more of those classes for "non-science/math majors". I worked for a state agency that mainly employed social work majors for their professional positions. As a result we would have field placement students from the UNT school of Social Work (I don't know if it exists any longer). One such student was placed with my unit for a semester, and it was after the time when UNT changed it's core requirements for all students. In between going out with workers "out in the field" she would sit at the common table in our office space and do her homework. One day I happened by, and just to make conversation I asked her what she was working on. Her response was "trigonometry". She said it was required. "Trig?" I said....for a social work major? Yep, she said, and "I also have to take real chemistry and biology classes, it's part of the core requirement changes/upgrade". She then said "you know it really isn't that hard to get into NT"....and as she turned back to work on her homework she added "the hard part is getting out".

      I think they had 0 yards in the 3rd quarter. ZERO!
