This sounds like a marriage counseling session that went off the rails. Nobody needs to be reminded when the season starts that they declared their intention to quit supporting the school during the offseason. Everybody knows supporting UNT is like herpes. You think it's finally gone and it flares up again.

If Mean Green fans grousing could kill your vibe, how did it survive on GMG for 21 years?

The girls all get prettier at closing time.

What I don't understand: How do we know our NIL is underfunded compared to our conference mates and other peers when the financials don't have to be publicly reported?
-
Now just hold on a minute. She's clearly a "they don't make quarterbacks like Derek Football anymore" kind of person.
-
I don't see anybody in the AAC with brand recognition far above the rest, aside from Navy but they are a special case. Before the NIL UNT was doing well in our conferences in terms of financial and facility support. Whether that's true with our collectives is an open question.
-
We can hold them accountable based on how their peers at the same level of the sport are doing. Almost everybody is facing the same problem of the here-today gone-tomorrow roster.

I am fine with players making money and playing where they want to play, but I have to admit the current Wild West era of the NIL and transfer portals is making the product less enjoyable. I miss having a good chance of following an athlete for their entire college career. It would be nice to have some incentives for players to stay put.
-
If you were the coach you would be looking to move too when a better opportunity arose. Everybody in the NCAA is looking out for number one. As a coach I would love to see players who entered the portal decide to stay. It would be one less hole I had to fill next season.

Congratulations to FirefightnRick - Retirement after 30-years

To the person who gave this a Confused: FirefightnRick and I played on the same middle school basketball team in Burleson in the early 1980s. I'd like to say we dominated the league. It isn't true but I'd like to say it. -
That may have been for the best. When he was on Twitter with the Light the Tower NIL collective he kept posting political opinions because he forgot which account he was on.

I don't underestimate it. I just accept that it is the way things are until somebody figures out how to bring more order to the chaos. Bigger schools damage us. We damage smaller schools.

Doesn't even look like Rogers will start at Cal
rcade replied to peanuts104's topic in Mean Green Football
The people forking over money for NIL probably don't want to fork over more for commercials, since that money could be spent on more athletes. If I was bankrolling NIL deals for UNT I would make the players endorse Morrison's Corn Kits. -

It is against the rules to tie NIL money to performance. An athlete has a name, image and likeness regardless of whether he plays a down of football, and that's what the money is buying. It's like paying Randy White to endorse SKOAL. -
Does it suck he didn't stay? Yes. But he should always be remembered for the NIT championship, CUSA championship, CUSA player of the year and NIT Most Outstanding Player honors. He scored over 1,000 points in 67 games and the team went 56-14 in his two seasons in Denton. We need more players like that even if they eventually get lured away by deep-pocketed rat bastards higher than us in the food chain.
