State of College Football
I am beyond tired of talking about the greed madness in FBS. FBS is on the path boxing was in the late 60 to 70s. Sanctioning bodies, promoters, agents, and media distributers all trying to get the most money. Making sure the best fights happened and were accessible to the average fan was barely considered. Really successful fighters ended their career essentially broke. Nobody with power was considering the long term health of the sport over short term self interest. Just a sidebar here. Boxing has fallen so far off the WBA Cruiseweight title holder passed away 14 days after winning the title and I didn't know until I google searched WBA boxing. He died Dec 21st. Boxing used to be so big Dallas Cowboys Ed Too Tall Jones took a break in the middle of his career to become a professional boxer. FBS is different because the brands are eternal. When there is a stagnation of competition ratings and interest decline for all the teams left out. How long can even the the smaller brands in the P4 just maintain game attendance and viewership figures when they aren't winning at an elite level? What do bottom half P4 teams look like with 10 consecutive years of mediocrity? Are they tuning in to watch Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Texas, Michigan, and Georgia in the playoff ever year? They need to form a league with unified purpose like the NFL with far more teams that the NFL. Full Scholarships should be reduced 55 per team. Additionally the teams can have 15 Partial scholarships (up to 65% of tutition, books, lab fees) and 15 walk-ons. All TV money distributed equally, like the NFL. And 25% of all revenue from the sale football specific merchandise and all merchandise sold by on-campus/stadium outlets distributed to all program. The league should be 120 schools, 10 regional conferences. Current independent programs don’t have to join a conference but they have produce certain revenue generation metrics to maintain that status. This is the only way to keep the sport healthy and growing from coast to coast. But we can’t have nice things because of greed and selfishness. -

Gentlemen, I get it. You don't agree. Now tell us about UNT football in the FBS D1 era(s). And how this football program has shined a positive light on our university. The juice isn't worth the squeeze in football. It's a numbers game. The numbers are very ugly for UNT football and like-monied programs. This isn't of opinion. It's simply a matter of fact. -

Basketball having a good run since 2017 isn't enough to make "the" premier sport at UNT. There would also need to be large enough fan support and media attention to demonstrate that it eclipsed football, but those haven't happened yet.
