UNT officials say the additional exposure that television games provide is just one of several ways the move to C-USA will help the program improve.

“We will be on TV a lot more than we ever have before and have access to more bowl games,” UNT athletic director Rick Villlarreal said about the benefits of moving to C-USA. “Those are all things that are important to coaches and to players.”

UNT spent the last 12 seasons as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

UNT also announced kickoff times for five of its games next season, bringing the total number of game times that have been set to seven.

I cut the cable years ago, so I have no idea what any of those channels are. Are most of them included in major cable/dish packages in the region? Are they premium channels? How much exposure does this really get?

It appears all but Comcast are part of the sports package in any cable/satellite deal.

And if a person doesn't own the sports package, they most likely don't watch college football.

will probably be more than 8 times. Every bowl game is televised. Also, I imagine the Georgia game will be on TV as well, and usually TXA picks up a game somewhere. TV appearances might hit double digits in 2013

Did anyone ever think that the Mean Green would be featured on TV 8 time?!

Hopefully this will help us tremendously.

I'm excited too, but more excited about so many afternoon games. I know it may interrupt tailgating for some, but they can return to the hill after the game. Afternoon games should mean more alumni from DFW who don't like to drive on Sat. night. We really do need to use some marketing skills to go after those people.

Good point Ragpicker --- post game tailgating should be much easier I just wonder how long the athletic department will let it go on...they have to cleanup and lock things down. It would be nice to know how long they would allow the tailgaters to stay.

I would think, Harry, (or hope} at least a couple of hours after the game.

      Parking

      My guess is the blue lot is sold out because of the package given to certain levels of season ticket holders, then they don't show up. I have a spot in the Blue lot spaces as part of the package. My spot goes unused every week except for the Army game.

      Offensive Woes

      It's mostly Chandler not playing as well recently, especially in high leverage situations (e.g. the end zone INTs). Not sure how much of it is injury related or him pressing. The offense is very dependent on him playing well, so any drop off hurts a ton. Just getting him back on track is the most important thing short term. Big picture the OL has been the biggest issue all year though. There is no consistency. We started our 8th (!) different combination against UTSA. We've started 9 different players, including 2 true freshmen (sometimes on the field simultaneously) and 3 different players have started at multiple positions. Jett Duncan has started at C, LT, RT, and the last game at RG. Good grief. The lack of consistency, inexperience, and talent gives us an OL that doesn't consistently run or pass block well. We could play with our food against Tulsa and still drop the hammer on them. It's harder to do that when you play teams who aren't near the bottom of FBS. The OL issue is partly our own doing. Gabe Blair has been hurt all year. Ma'Kayi Lee is, I guess, injured? He lost his starting spot against Wyoming, played some garbage time snaps, and hasn't been on the field since. But aside from them, if Lee is hurt, the combination shuffling has been about talent as much as health. Larry Moore III and Leke got benched. I'm a Duncan fan, but if he is an option to start at tackle then you know the roster is a problem.

      Caponi fired

      Diving deeper on this team is bad for your health and your fandom. 😆Not much of what they do and who they chose to hire, retain and pay makes much sense. Retaining Seth that last year set all this up. Clearly only a financial decision cause he lived up to expectations and made no progress. The anamoly was the weather aided UTSA win. They used that as an excuse (escaping some fan scrutiny) to keep Coach Littrell. @GMG_Dallas has some great observations here and it is impressive that he is still a fan. I can't dive that deep or else I will freaking blow a gasket. I might go to the ECU game just because the tickets will be so cheap.

      That's why we should go after Carthel. He'd be HC in waiting.
