We are going to be really good!

Looks like all core players are back . Nice to see Josh White as a coach. https://thetournament.com/tbt/teams/bleed-green-north-texas-alumni/

Glad to see Kai Huntsberry and Tyree Eady participating this year.

I love this tournament and had so much fun watching it last year!

Yep

And again, the SMU board isn’t interesting enough to keep SMU fans off this one.

It already is 4x that amount in some cases. Getting 1.5+ has been common place for 5+ years. I've seen as high as 2M. It should be 5M, and that would require collective partnering with all G5 conference to set that parameter. It is doable and should certainly happen.

My mug begs to differ. So... where do we fight and what's the weapon of choice? Also happy father's day y'all!

I have had so much fun with this tournament. This is the best thing between seasons.

This dude ain’t even that great. I think of him as kind of a “glue guy.” He knows his role and does it well, but he’s not a star.

Yes, this NIL is a great system if you think buying players should be the key to building successful programs. Recruit well and develop players so they can be bought by another team. Sounds like a fine basis to foster fair competition.

Until recently good friend of mine was treasurer of the LSU Tiger Club . This is the alumni arm that raises funds for the Athletic Depart, who in return request release of those monies for approved expenditures . When LSU hired Baylor's women's basketball coach the response was "great, now we can lose several more millions in women's basketball."

I am so turned off by the turn college sports has made. Sad, sad.

When the athletic departments start paying players the NIL money they are in fact are employees. If memory serves one schools in a secondary east coast conference whose name escapes me have their players trying to form a union.

First, when the NIL comes in house players will become employees. Second , we can afford to pay all players in specific sports , just not at the same salary. You know, like the real world. UNT will have a certain amount of money available for NIL payment, which we can call a salary cap, and allocate those funds for specific sports, such as football and men's basketball. There will be a pecking order established as to who get how much based upon how many beans are in the pot, if you are a starter,at what position etc. Out biggest problem is getting donors to financially support projects such as expansion of athletic department facilities , donate to Mean Green Club, and also donate to NIL. I doubt you will get students to agree upon increasing fees to financially support athletics when they don't attend athletic events. Basically UNT is between a rock and a hard place financially . Just a thought. If the Big 12 can sell conference naming rights, such as "General Motors Football Conference ", then individual universities , perhaps needing conference approval, should be able to do the same. How does the H.E.B./U.N.T. football team sound? Go Grocers!
