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.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Might be one of the best statements he's made about NT Football.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      The UT Athletic Department will just get treated as a corporation, saying funds received to it are voluntary, even if tax-deductible. And no politician will touch this, knowing how quickly they'd get hammered for hurting State U's football team and its funding.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...

      It's going to be interesting to see how the taxpayers see this (for state schools, N/A for private). Similar to the concerns regarding spending local tax $'s to build NFL stadiums, using tax dollars to run a minor league FB team may stir some controversy. I may be wrong since I don't keep up with all of the latest media payouts, etc, but I think there's not a lot of schools that actually make money on athletics (and this is BEFORE we start paying them directly). https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/Finances/2023RES_DI-RevExpReport_FINAL.pdf If UT essentially starts running a minor league FB team out of the school and makes money, should the tax payers expect a refund or cut in taxes directed to UT? What if they're losing money?
