Just to throw this out there: assuming a weakened PACXX somehow comes calling for UNT, do you take that chance? Is a spot in a weak traditional P5 better than a spot in a strong G5? Remember that the P5 isn't just a media name, the conferences are actually under a different ruleset as named "autonomy conferences".

It's a shame SEC Shorts is in off-season.

Scheduling - why can't we get good Home & Home OOC?
TripleGrad posted a topic in Mean Green Football
https://fbschedules.com/sam-houston-hawaii-schedule-2024-2025-home-and-home-football-series/ Sam Houston State gets a home and home with Hawaii, and it's not in 2039 or whatever. How did they manage it? -
I'm been a Mean Green fan since 87. That's just experience talking. In fact, if you're looking at records since we returned to D1/BCS/(whatever) competition, 5-7 is overperforming. But it's mostly just having a bit of fun with the calendar.

Sun Belt schedule includes Marshall, ODU, USM
TripleGrad replied to TripleGrad's topic in Mean Green Football
Sure, but you can go 7-9 and still be bowl eligible . . . -
https://sunbeltsports.org/news/2022/2/28/sun-belt-releases-2022-football-schedule-including-four-new-members.aspx So that's at least 2 games that we have a pretty decent shot to win . . .

Marshall files lawsuit against C-USA
TripleGrad replied to Coach Andy Mac's topic in Mean Green Football
A State or one of its subsidiaries can invoke sovereign immunity (unless the case involves certain Constitutional rights, which wouldn't apply here). A public school is considered a state subsidiary. Texas A&M used immunity not too long ago to fend off angry Texas Wesleyan law school alumni. -
I'm sorry, but with over half of the teams in FBS going to a bowl every year, that's really not a good metric any longer. Back in the 70s when there were 15 bowl games, sure. These days, when the powers that be literally created the "Participation Ribbon Bowl" for us and didn't even bother to repaint the football field, bowl games mean little. How about winning records and conference championships?

C-USA announces 2022 football schedule
TripleGrad replied to Tom McKrackin's topic in Mean Green Football
There's zero chance that this is our actual 2022 schedule. -
A 10-year plan for success would be a godsend for UNT. I've been a student or fan for 34 years and there's never (on-field) sustained success. It's been almost 20 years since we won a conference championship. (and no, low-end bowls are not "success", when there's 40+ of them. Bowl games meant something when they were rarities, not over half the teams in the NCAA)

I feel like more North Texas folks need to watch the SEC Shorts series with Hope and Georgia. Know your enemy, folks. . .

I don't think that's accurate, because OuT isn't moving until 2025 now and the Big 12 is picking up the new members in 2023 and 2024. Money talks, and if teams can afford the buyouts they'll head to the new leagues faster than announced.
