Nathan Tune is one of the Great Guys! I posted this somewhere else last night, but it was very courageous and considerate of him to give a hand signal as he was being carried off on the stretcher, doing his best to tell us "I'm okay". Any parent should be proud to have such a son. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Nathan.

Tune has shown us what great character he has....that of champions on and off the field. ( and a damn good qb)

Any parent should be proud to have such a son. I would sure think so.

Tune was my freshman orientation roommate and one of my first college friends at UNT. He's a really good guy and it's a shame to see that happen to him. Through everything, he has just kept his mouth shut and kept working. I wish the best for him in the future.

Tune is a good guy, one of the teachers at UNT was running there mouths about how we were going to get killed against Alabama last year. He was like, " Dodge is down, I dont see yall having a chance now that the back up qb is going to be playing." Someone rose their hand and was like you do realize the back up qb is in the this class. Nate rose his hand and gave a brief description of what happened the week before, and the teacher turned blood shot red and said he would never down UNT again. That teacher left UNT and is now teaching in Minnesota, but I talked to Nate a few times in that class and he was always very friendly. I wish the best to him and a speedy recovery.

"And remember, UNT is down to one quarterback at this point in Derek Thompson. If Thompson goes down, UNT is going to be in an even tougher spot."

Dear Mr. Brett " Super Athlete" Vito

I"m calling you out bro !!!

I believe both Thompson and Baine can lead this team.

We have 2 very good QBs ready to Go !!!

It broke my heart to see Nathan go down last evening. Great kid and great family. My thoughts and prayers go out to them, but I know they will all be just fine. They are a great family and have a strong sense of what's important in life. Nathan was a favorite of mine and I will definitely miss him. He could have "packed it in" a year ago, but chose to stay with the Mean green. His leadership showed and the team is better off because he made the decision to stay.

Nathan, you handled it well on the field last night as I expected you would....all the best to you and may you have a speedy recovery.

The Mean Green Nation is in your debt! GO MEAN GREEN!

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

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      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.
