North Texas has bought out the final year of its men’s basketball contract with UT Arlington, ending, at least temporarily, the annual meeting between regional rivals, UTA officials said Wednesday

With UTA on the schedule as a road game at the College Park Center, North Texas would play more road nonconference games than home. Benford wants to add a home game.

“I just need to move the game to next year,” said Benford, whose Mean Green team finished 12-20 in his first season at the helm.

That was news to the UTA athletic department.

A UTA official said North Texas gave “no indication” that it planned to resume the series between the two former Southland Conference foes, a contest that generally represented the best attended nonconference home game for both

We bought out the wrong contract.

As a Maverick Alum, I am really disappointed. I very much doubt that JJ would ever have backed down from this rivalry. Sure, UTA has "owned" UNT 7 of the last 9 times we've played, but I'm old enoug

Embarrassing.

Hopefully, whoever coaches us in 2014-15 has the sack to put them back on the schedule. Permanently.

How much you think this cost us ?

I'm taking a stab in the dark here , $40,000 ?

I have no idea. Just curious

No idea. After 6 straight years and talk on both sides about how everyone loved the series, I wouldn't be shocked if buyout language was pretty lax.

Wasting money. Losing a great annual series. Taking a 30 minute "road trip" off the schedule.

Being a guy who has at least four suits, I don't understand why he keeps going with Hearts.

Another unblievable move. We have precious few rivalries, so let's nuke one of the good ones we had. Makes no sense.
