NT Portal Entries
Agreed that the last couple of years may be outliers, but it seems like every team is playing musical chairs now. We'll have to see how this goes. We obviously need practice players and players to step in if there is an injury. Not sure how important cheering on the team from the bench is, but as you said, they were definitely engaged and provided some energentic support to the on-court players. There is a cost to the athletic department, however, to fill those roles with scholarship athletes. Some estimates based on UNT budget numbers. By necessity some of these are averages and not specific to basketball as those numbers are not available. Football can skew some of these. Cost of full grand-in-aid: $23,696 for in-state, $36,296 for out-of-state. Let's use $30,000 as an average. Additional operational costs per athlete: Travel: $10,600 Equipment/Uniforms: $4,100 Meals (non-travel): $2,800 Medical/Insurance: $2,800 So we are around $50K annually for a scholarship athlete. If we have four players that don't really see the court, that's $200K a year, $400K if they don't really see it for 2 years. Maybe that's a bargain for getting the most out of your 8-9 man rotation...who knows? I'm not sure how we sustain that level of investment for athletes that only see a minute or two of mop up action in a handful of games over a couple of years. As a comparison, we only generated $359,524 in ticket sales for men's basketball last year (probably less this year given the attendance drop-off). Maybe they are on partial scholarships so the investment is much less.- 1

WVU to Pay UNT $1.2 Million Buyout
IIRC, Wren slow played paying the buyout to Arky State for GMac, which was probably like a sandwich and a bottle of moonshine, but he probably had to get a line of credit for us to pay that steep bill back then. Maybe now, with all that Big 12 money, he might pay this on time now. -

Texas A&M Hires Who?
99-52 (66% winning percentage) in the SoCon v. 66-42 (61% winning percentage) in the Horizon I don't think there'd be any (logical) uproar at all.- 2
