That's right, if TCU is going to balk I say lets get on the horn with Mac Rhodes and geta LONG term deal with Houston, similar to what RV did with SMU.

I know we are already going to play Rice but that is every other year and we could schedule the Houston series to put us there every year. Think of what we could sell recruits in Houston when we can say we will be there every single year.

The long term goal in my mind is to have SMU, Houston and perhaps TCU non conference games every year. If you need a money game then play Texas (like we are in 2014)..

Playing in both the Metroplex and Houston annually makes sense for both NT and UH. With a little creative scheduling, it can be juggled so both of us get to play in the two largest metro areas every year.

We already play Rice in conference. Do we really want to offend a conference mate by scheduling one if their main recruiting rivals?

No to Houston.

Yes to Baylor, if we can get them to Apogee.

No thank you. Me and most other Coogs do not care to play UNT at all to be truly honest since the games aren't even close as of recently and hurts our SOS. If a series is announced, then they better all be in Houston since I don't see why we have to even travel to Apogee for a 32k seat stadium unless you move the game to Jerryworld. I honestly don't see what we gain from playing UNT that we don't already get from playing SMU.

If this was posted on Coogfans, the responses would be much harsher than anything I've ever posted. So those of you who aren't 12 year olds in 40-50 year old bodies, please take this as me being blunt instead of trolling. (which I'm honestly not in the mood for today)

Also UNT90, very seldom do you see UH and Rice offer the same recruit. Most of our recruiting battles are actually with Big 12, Pac 12, SEC and occasionally a B1G/ACC school.

Problem is, much like us, you don't win any of them.

And I agree with you. Y'all play SMU, we play Rice. No reason for either of us to play one another.

So, remind me again, why are you here?

He's here because he "attended" North Texas once...then went to UH to avoid failing out of college. Besides, the commute from mommy's house was shorter to UH.

Just really disappointed and disheartened to see you post this but not surprised. You took the easy route and kept that chain of disrespect going forward, just like UT and A&M give to you.

I see no reason for Houston to be interested in a long term series with NT. There are few OC slots for any team, so teams want to schedule teams that raise fans interest, bring a lot of their fans to the game, or perhaps provide an easy win. NT currently only fulfills one of those criteria for Houston.

On the other hand, it doesn't do a lot for NT either. Apparently, assuming 4 oc games in CUSA; NT with it's philopsophy of one big time opponent guaranteed game a year, there are only going to be two home and away slots available. If RV sticks with his 6 home games a year, than there is going to be an Idaho or FCS team in Denton every year. If the SMU series holds and I have my doubts, that leaves only one other home and away game series a year. Personally, I had rather have a service academy or other rival than UH and SMU for years.

For Cougar Craps information, our series with Houston is tied at this point as it is with Texas Tech. Neither probably wants to play us for fear of being on the minus side of that ledger again. We have taken our licks for the last few years, but our history go back a lot farther than those two start up outfits.

You do not speak on hehalf of any UH grad I know.

UH finished 0.500 in CUSA last season. The SOS card is not a strong suit right now.

Oh really? Below are all of the reruits we beat out multiple P5 schools for DESPITE going 5-7 with a loss to Texas State. We had the 48th best class in the country, which of course was the best in CUSA and the 2nd best in the AAC (Behind only Loserville) and better than multiple Big 12, B1G, Pac and ACC schools. So do some research before you try to knock our recruiting nor should you ever compare us to the likes of you.

I don't care to discuss personal details but I spelled it ut for meangreener, so I'll do the same for you. I didn't leave UNT because I was about to fail out (How in the hell would I get into UH if Im about to fail out). I left because my brother was deathly ill and I wanted to be closer to him and help my family out at the same time. I ignored most of the omments I have gotten on here but the fact that people keep spreading something that is clearly untrue really pisses me off to no end.

The entitlement of this guy is incredible.

We're just taking back what's ours.

Sorry you feel that way Harry. You're honestly one of the very few people I actually respect on GMG.

We have taken our licks for the last few years, but our history go back a lot farther than those two start up outfits.

If we blew you out by 3+ tds in back to back years, why would we be afraid of playing you again?

You do not speak on hehalf of any UH grad I know.

UH finished 0.500 in CUSA last season. The SOS card is not a strong suit right now.

Ask this question on Coogfans then.

I'd rather start a 10 game series w/ Lamar

Maybe you'd have a chance to win that series.

Hey, there's no shame in almost failing out of North Texas. I had some friends that were on academic probation our freshman year. There are academic counselors available for these kinds of things but maybe you just felt you were too far behind to catch up. Again, no shame in that. I don't think any less of you.

Also, I think it speaks volumes that you continously feel the need to defend yourself on someone else's message board. I honestly could care less what's said about North Texas on the Louisiana Lafayette board even though we beat them. It is so refreshing to know that my university is so impressive that fans of teams that have already won the football game still feel the need to lurk here to puff their chests out. Shows that we are on the minds of others long after the final whistle. I can only hope for Houston's sake that you guys get there one day.

And, again, I am so sorry that North Texas was too rigorous for you. We all understand and I promise we're not judging.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
