St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.
Yes, I am aware of all that, and remember when they were very good back in the 80's or so. But, as you said, they haven't been very great lately, and had pretty much fallen off the radar until a long-past-his-prime Pitino went there.

St. John's is a top 5 Big East team (a "High Major" conference).
They play big home games in MSG. It's a great landing spot for him. He'll get a ton of eyeballs on him there.On the face of it, St. John's doesn't sound very impressive. Nothing like Rubbin going to Michigan.
I looked it up, St. John's actually averaged over 10k a game last season. Many voices have been telling us over the years that we need to pick up our attendance if we want to be able to get to the next level. I don't doubt that at least played some part in losing Aaron to St. John's.

New Mexico should have to pay royalties to North Texas for calling their arena "The Pit."

Dig a little deeper and you will see that is not true. 5 star DB from last year has entered.
I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic.

I think it's pretty clear that Deion wants a revolving door of players every year. And his best players are staying, and at least some of those who entered the portal were encouraged to do so.

He gave a rationale for his decision, I doubt you have any idea how valid it is. Did you expect him to state that he was encouraged to leave?
There is little chance, he would have started here from day one. That is only my opinion, speculation at best; the same as yours.
True, but my speculation is better.

Yes. Outside of the Jazz Festival its the biggest event Denton has. Part of the Square is blocked off to traffic. Logistically and financially it doesn't make sense to have the events on the same day.
I know some really want the homecoming parade to return. Well, its not going to happen if they keep scheduling Homecoming the same weekend as Day of the Dead.
Bigger than the Redbud Festival? Bigger than the Storytelling Festival? When did Denton start this?

I give, why is this humiliating?
NT apparently didn't believe he was good enough to play here and released him to go elsewhere. He signed with Central Arkansas, not exactly a powerhouse.
This matter has been cleared up, if you read the posts that came in the days after I posted this. The reason it would have been humiliating is if Taylor chose UCA over UNT because he saw it as a better opportunity. If UCA is not exactly a powerhouse, that would make UNT something even worse.
And again, if you read the insider's post above, Taylor's release had nothing to do with an inability to play here. There's a good chance would have started here from day one.

Layne's grandmother is bravely battling cancer and his decision was based on staying closer to her and the rest of the family as they support her during this difficult time.
UNT did the right thing for this young man by letting him out of his signed NLI.
Thank you. I hate to lose him--he is a far cry from a "developmental high school recruit"--but I understand things a whole lot better now.

Never heard of it. Is this really such a big deal as to cause problems?

I mean if we released him the feelings had to be mutual no? Maybe with the other portal defections we determined he would no longer be a good fit?

Other than Stone Earle in football, how many other guys have entered the portal and come back to their school?
K.D. Davis comes to mind. I know there are plenty of others, although that is certainly the exception rather than the rule.

That doesn’t look like our Andy Mac.
You know, looking at the picture I think you're right. I know some time has gone by, but that looks like a different guy. What's the source on this photo?

On him and then bolted. Amass mistakes and bolt, the typical athletic administrators gold plan. Yet, they keep getting rehired.
I'm trying to think--prior to Wren, who is the last person to go straight from the A.D. position at NT to another A.D. position at an FBS school?

The Big 12 is chomping at the bit to get ahold of Louisville and Pitt once they make themselves available.
The Big 12 already turned down Louisville. What makes you think they'd go after Pitt?

Former Rutgers A.D. Tim Pernetti. Not sure what to make of this hire, myself. He sounds okay.

The bigger schools seem to be going mainly with NIL players and that leaves better high school players
You do know that high school players are getting NIL deals just as surely as transfer players are, right?

I don't understand the question. Are you saying we can offer better NIL deals than the schools that used to sign this type of player? If not, it seems we'll get less of a sniff than ever.

Lawyers going to take fans to court? The schools and/or the NCAA do not pay NIL bills.
Yep. The NCAA (rightfully, in this case) fought against NIL tooth and nail, and were forced by politicians to allow it.

Of course he's eligible. As far as I know, anyone who has ever played for North Texas is eligible. The question is, do they have the resume? The fact that Rewbuhn is transferring is a minor strike against him, but I don't see him having a HOF-worthy resume regardless of transferring.
