I'd chip in on a "punt or go for it?" choice. Set up competing QR codes on two big screens and the coach has to follow the $$.
Honestly I'd be game for this in a situation where we're up/down by a large amount

From the updated ESPN article…
“The six members will collaborate to decide which schools to target for further expansion, as the conference still needs to add two more schools to reach the NCAA minimum requirement. The conference is in the first year of a two-year grace period afforded by NCAA bylaws to exist below the minimum in the case of departures.
It is unclear how many schools the new-look conference expects to have by 2026.”
We better hope Jared has some good relationships...

An always (to me) interesting topic; Rating the NT head coaches
Keep happy and at NT
Delong-Softball
Burton-WBB
Akers-Women Golf
Hedlund-Soccer
Jury still out
Hodge-MBB
I am happy with his results thus far, hard to judge with the horrible NIL situation
Morris-Football
Have liked his coaching of the offensive side, think he will improve the defense
Calcatera-Men Golf
New hire
Stone-Women Tennis
It was past time for a change, and she is a good choice
Marshall-Track, CC
Great start, I have little doubt the track team will continue to get better under his leadership
Porter-Volleyball
Definitely elevated the program over the prior coach, want to see who she recruits as she loses some good-to-great players
Questionable
Roth-Women Swimming
She is still here despite mediocre results, there has to be a rationale (ie: poor facilities to recruit to, desire to spend as little as possible on this team, etc.) She could be doing an excellent job considering these factors
Not gonna lie, I'm ready to see us move on from Hedlund. Too much DFW soccer talent for us not to ever score in the NCAAs

The caravans connect “current” fans with the AD and coaches and allow for interaction.
I would like to see more done to get “new” fans attracted to NT sports. Same thing every year.that usually requires fielding consistent winning football programs

A couple were closed relating to the current protests on campus. They seemed relatively civil.
Yeah agreed. Didnt see any name calling or anything.

Ok but UNT athletics should be out there handing out magnetic 2024 football schedules to students and promoting the softball team who is really good - I mean targeted engagement here right?

This is what happens when you put effort into the program. I live in Tech country. I am worn out hearing from Joey McGuire, Kirby Hocutt and the Red Raider Club on the radio and television. They even have their spring game in Midland where many wealthy boosters live.
To be fair they are the only game in town

I may ruffle a lot of feathers here, but he and his team won tourney championships, regular season championships, CBI championship, NIT Championship, and an NCAA game, and it still didn't move the needle. Attendance was still poor, and those players deserved better support.
Yep. Gave his heart to the program. Can't fault him. His mom was a huge supporter too.
this will always be our issue.

I'm actually in the camp now that we're gonna see a few of these players back next season. it's only good business to test the portal waters and possibly leverage Hodge/UNT for as good a deal as possible.
calling it now...Noland and Jones will be back next season. Scott maybe not...he has NBA metrics and upside and a year at a P5 could enhance his overall pro stock.Maybe it helps Hodge's relationship with these guys too. Like "he looks out for me the person"

If SMU offered you $200,000 per year to come post on their fan board (Poneyfans.com) versus GoMeanGreen.com would you? What if LSU or someone else tops that by $50k the following year? In the business world, have you ever been offered substantially more to leave your employer? Or did you stay "loyal" to your company that may have hired you right out of college? It's unfortunate but these are the questions the kids have to make today. Playing and/or starting seems to be secondary. I think I would go get that paycheck my final year of eligibility.
Coaches do this all the time.....
Whatever situation helps my family the most (and myself) is what I'm doing

None of these have been reported by the school or the player, yet. The response I got to bringing this up was that this usually occurs when the players may be testing the waters but would be welcome back. Guess I am showing my age, but if I were the coach, once you decide to enter the portal you are done here. Another poster messaged me with the same feeling. Zero commitment today. All about what I can get for me, period.
Same thing works in the professional world. Surely you'd understand to see what value you can get for yourself

its only a matter of time before fans tire of Rutgers- Cal , SMU- Florida State, Oklahoma- Vanderbilt , or some other random pairing every other year and yearn for the regional world of the past.

Tristan Thompson went into the HOF in 2020. I suspect that all the names being listed will eventually go into the UNT Hall of Fame. Damn shame but this is what it has become over the past few years. Coaches with losing records, players that played here 1 or 2 years, average players etc.
Perry/Hamlet may have only played here 1 or 2 years but they also elevated the program to heights not seen ever

Hamlet was our closer immediately preceding Perry. Before that probably Smart his sophomore year. Prior to Smart you may have to go back to Josh White.
I would even put Huntsberry in there. Tristan Thompson was another one

If we're gonna play FCS, SFA is the type of FCS I like to see. Plus all of you can salivate over Colby Carthel lol

Been a rough season for sure. If we had a closer on this team I could see 5-6 more wins this year. I have faith in Hodge, he's given me that through 5 years as McCasland's #2, and as a winner in the JC ranks.
Only 2 blowout losses this season. Some gritty wins. He is not Benford, thats for sure.- 7

Burton has totally turned around this team. He's a riser in the college ranks for sure. I feel like we'll get the the NCAAs at least once during his tenure here

Probably moved UNT forward as an institution more than any other president.

Some of you make me wonder.
He has two options (really he has many more).
One, to honor his commitment and play for NT.
Two, to go play for his dad.
IMO, I don't think anyone can find fault with either decision.
Heck, do you think Riley Dodge regrets backing out of playing WR at Texas to play for his dad here? (God those were awful days)

He's doing a fantastic job with the ladies. I'm looking forward to seeing what they cook up for the Mustangs tonight!
Speaking for many here on GMG.com, it's just so "surprising" that a guy could come in here and take over an 11-win team, and already have them at 13-3! I mean, it certainly should not be expected... what, with all of the roster turnover due to the portal, and what Coach Mitchell left him. </sarcasm>
Speaking for myself, it's not surprising when a winner comes in and wins. Immediately. Without excuse. Takes the players he has, brings in complimentary new players, identifies quality staff, injects a winning mindset... which turns into a winning culture, and Voila! Wins pile up!
He's not a good coach "for North Texas". He's a good coach.
I'm glad Coach Burton is here, and I look forward to a deep run in the Conference Tournament! THIS YEAR!
