90, don't they have the most resources period? I think this article is from last year, but anywho here ya go

Right, while we sit at, what, #11 or #12 in the state?

This would be an upset of monumental proportions. This isn't 1988. The gap (monetarily, talent, and just about any other way you can think of) has increased by multiples of hundreds if not thousands since then.

That said, I will be there. It's close, it's a major stage for college football (which we rarely get to be on), and I have friends there which will make it a fun environment. Plus, who knows, maybe I get to see a major upset never before accomplished by a UNT team.

Well, me and my stepdad are going to be there, but he's a UT alum, and we are going to be sitting on the UT home side, so really all I'm contributing is one really belligerent UNT fan that might get d

Yeah, I dunno. It's the reason why we are still 2nd tier. If fans aren't pushing for results then why in the hell would the administration push for it. It would cost them more money for better coaches

Yes, Texas has more money than North Texas. Thank you for pointing that out. Dollar figures aren't going to be physically playing football on 8/30. If there's one player on our roster that even has do

This is just finances, but a little closer look.

And Rice, TCU, SMU, and Baylor aren't on this list because they are privates, yet all spend way more than UNT on athletics.

So that puts us at #10 in Texas? While UT is #1, spending $119 million dollars more on athletics per year than UNT.

Let that sink in for a moment. $119 million.

With none of it subsidized, which gives the AD more freedom from politics.

This just points out what a monumental upset winning on 08/30 would be.

Really disheartening that Texas St at San Marcos is spending more than UNT on athletics.

They don't. I don't. You don't. A lot of others do. Let 'em. I'd rather spend my summer living life the Mean Green way so I can show up on 8/30 the best fan I can be to support them. I'd rather dream and believe all summer. I know one thing, there will be no let down no matter what happens. I'm going to have an amazing trip to Austin and I will get me meet a lot of people for first time such as the Mean Green Maniac. I'm getting a vibe from Twitter there could be a rather large student contingent going, although some can't afford to but would love to. Looking forward to maybe getting an indication of what we request from UT this week...

Rent a van and pack it with students. They might not have money to get in the stadium, but they can tailgate in green.

90, Tx state probably and this is total guess spends a boat load of their cash on basketball and track. Still not excusable.

I have a friend that just called me wondering if it was too late to buy UT tix. Anyone know if they have extended this?

Anyone know where those of us who can't go can watch the game in Allen or nearby? Any watch parties?

(I work on Sunday mornings, obviously. I'd be there if it were an 11am game)

PM your current email address to me and I'll get you added back to my distribution list for Collin County UNT events. The address I have for you started kicking back to me a while back.

I have to find a new place to start hosting watching parties. Unfortunately Fairview Down Under closed down. I'd moved away from Rudy's because we were getting too big for the back room and a new manager said they were going to start charging me to guarantee the room.

My top two candidates right now are Allen Wickers and Buffalo Wild Wings, both in Plano. I hosted the Southern Miss game at Allen Wickers last year. Great place but the room doesn't leave much room for growth. The Plano Buffalo Wild Wings interests me because BWW is a UNT restaurant partner and they have both DirecTV and Time Warner Cable. I'm also thinking about Sauced in Allen.

I'll identify a common place for Collin County UNT fans to watch the Texas game and work with the management at the establishment. I won't be able to host it because I'll be at the game in Austin.

More to come.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      I think you will see dramatic drop off in interest if that happens. The casual CFB fan without a passionate attachment to a particular team is a small market. College Basketball found that out the hard way. Your purely market driven model applied to the NFL 40 years ago robs the league of Carolina Panthers, Houston or Tennessee franchises, Baltimore or Cleveland franchise, the Jaguars an maybe even Green Bay (if they were poorly managed and never found Brett Farve). Hell even the New Orleans Saints would be on thin ice with hurricane Katrina without the Drew Bree and Sean Patton era. What I think is best would be about 30-40 FBS teams going back down to FCS. And I think a conference like the MAC just doesn’t belong at the FBS level. And basically any team that has jumped up to FBS after 2000 should be critically examined and forced to go back down if they haven’t met certain criteria in on the field achievement.

      I think you’re right. Morris, DT, Mercer, and Hammond.

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.
