So the Ticket almost denies their strong ties to the school for years. Now, let us get a top 5 draft pick playing bball for us and all of a sudden they care about our hoops program. That angers me deeply.

Don't let it. If it is the catalyst for greater things, celebrate it. It is not hypocrisy, it's the way the media works. We have a great player that is so good, so incredible, he cannot be ignored.

You can either choose to be angry at the media, or know that Tony really is that incredible.

If best case scenario happens, Tony takes us to the S16 or beyond, and we become top 20 regulars, than this season can be considered one of many stepping stones. In a sense, it is a tale of Mean Green overcoming a media bias.

More like it's a fill in show struggling for a week's worth of content. Calm down bro.

To piggyback on what Miner said, blame the market they broadcast to. NT Athletics talk has never been damanded by them. Hear much Rangers talk 4 years back? Or how about the Mavericks in the late 90's?

It's actually a good thing they are talking about us. And it's not because John in Frisco wants to hear about us, but because we're worth talking about. That's much better.

And just maybe, the AD of UNT strung this together. Wouldn't that blow some minds?

I hear Jub talking up UNT as much as possible.

The VERY SAD reality is... other than the people on this message board, and maybe a handful of others, no one wants to hear about UNT athletics. If there were long stretches of UNT athletics talk, UT-T-shirt-fan-guy would turn the channel, and they don't want that...

Why are you "angered deeply"? Would you rather they not talk to Benford at all?

I remember Corby saying "I'm interested" referring to NT football after the Ball State win. That quickly faded back to nothingness after a few more weeks when it was apparent it wasn't the Ball State team of the previous year.

it doesn't actually anger me. I was being facetious. They do need to replace Race Week with an hour of UNT sports though. The Green Guys show on 88.1 is terrible.

Heck yeah! I'd listen. But I bet there are more NASCAR fans who listen to Race Week than would listen to a UNT show. Does SMU or TCU have their own shows on 104.1, 103.3, or 105.3?

Win at football and/or basketball consistently, and maybe the interest would be there.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
