I think this deserved a topic of it's own. While several other unnamed knuckleheads chose to let their teammates down, Tony Mitchell was busy in the classroom earning As and Bs. This from a guy who faced a huge academic hole when he got back to Pinkston HS and faced all kinds of naysayers when he enrolled at UNT.

Hearing his name last night brought back a memory of last year's academic announcements and hearing Cam Montgomery's named announced on the A honor roll. Montgomery came to us from a JC, where most guys of his talent go when they can't qualify for a 4 year school. Cam figured it out in a big way.

Tony, there is a challenge for you. Let's eliminate that "B" part of your honor this semester and make it all As.

To the knucklheads who chose not to follow Tony's example, well, I just hope you learned something.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      Bowl Tailgating

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.
