I'm talking athletes, not mathletes. Both are fine schools. My point is NOT NEAR ENOUGH PEOPLE give a crap about football there, not even themselves. It is truly shocking to see the apathy. Take a look at attendance each game for each school. Their attendance counters and the SMU attendance counter are cousins by the way. As far as butts in seats my guess is that both Cal and Stanford were under 25K for the year.
UCLA's is just as bad, they have a long history of student apathy. They do the same and count season ticket holders, the actual people in the stands looks way less.

The Big XII will poach the PAC, not the other way around. I've paid close attention to that conference since I attended the football game against Cal and the 15K people who cared to show up. Now that USC and UCLA are gone, here is the list of good vs not so good properties. Attendance at the not so good's is abysmal.
Good: Oregon, UW, Utah, and the Arizona Schools.
Not so good: Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, Stanford and Colorado.
I see Arizona and Arizona State being poached by the Big XII.
Stanford is the #6 school in the country, Cal is the #2 public school. Even though you may be talking about football performance their prestige carries a lot of weight.

I think some of you, not all of you, need to step forward and admit you were very wrong about wanting UNT to join the Mountain West. When USC and UCLA leave the Pac 12 will have to find replacements from the Mountain West which will further water down that conference. Also AAC was very smart to pick off all the viable Texas teams and leave the Mountain West without any of the good ones. I don't see any of the Big 12 teams being interested in a PAC 12 without USC or UCLA>
You're reaching. Everyone who advocated joining the MW was speaking of joining that conference as it stands, and them losing teams would obviously change how people felt about joining. Most of us also felt with SMU in the AAC they wouldn't want to add another team in the same metro, we saw our chances of joining as slim. None of us were privy that 6 teams would be added, we all assumed it would be 3 to replace what they lost.
Did we pick the best scenario? At the time yes, we made a great choice to join the AAC. But if todays news turns out to be true, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we ended up making the wrong choice.

Do we think there is a chance McBride comes back ? I had crossed him off consideration. I hope the green is greener here than elsewhere.
Possible if he doesn't like his options. He clearly wants a change of scene though, and he's been getting attention from name programs so I don't see it as likely.

Carlton Linguard: K-State C/PF

Chibuzo Agbo Jr.: TX Tech SF

Would salivate at being able to grab either. Especially Linguard, he would give Abou a much needed push in practice and rest when he needs it.

Looks like a really solid pick up. I'm liking his size and ability to score. If he can get coached up on defense and has the ability to drive to the basket he may be a swiss army knife of a player that can do it all.

Would really like a highly touted recruiter to be brought in.

I disagree in that I don’t have a problem with us raising the head coaching salary or even the assistants. It shows the world we are serious and not participating in the bargain basement program that we had here for far too long. What I do have a problem with is the fact that Seth is not earning the money we pay him!
Agree that we should be paying at the top of the conference, and it's good for our perception. However, are we really a serious program if we keep accepting these results? No one knows for sure if the AD had the ability to fire Littrell, only they know the finances, we can only assume his contract was a major road block.

I will just make this clear, I don’t object to giving Mac a massive raise. I think he should be easily pulling in $1 mil, maybe $1 + 300K in incentives. I was simply saying I know a lot of people were weirdly okay with letting Mac walk over money (once again, statistically probably the best coach at UNT in either football or basketball) simply because we are hamstrung by the Littrell contract.
It's not that people were ok with it, we are just realists. If a program is really willing to offer 2.7-3m range there is nothing UNT could do about it. I can see UNT countering with at tops 1.5-1.7m, but we would still be short. It has nothing to do with Littrell.

How many conference 🏆 and postseason wins did Seth have before his extension? I get the hesitation,but I don't think the two are in the same league.
This, I was thinking about how we all regret the Litrell raise, but Mac has actually had the best records in UNT history.

Dang, hate to see him go but I wish him all the best.
I'm pretty ignorant on this subject, is there someone you more savvy BB guys have in mind that would be a great get?

Yeah, but with those flames you're trying to cook a brisket in 20 minutes. It's just not the way to do things all the time. 😉

So thank you Captain Obvious, for making sure we understand there are differences between a public and private university. And being second ONLY to UT and A&M academically in the state? Rice University may have something to say about that, except Ithey don't have an inferiority complex. So go and beg at the doorstep of the Big 12 and let us know when you get back.
Jack ass.
Dude I dislike SMU as much as the next green blooded fan, but these posters, as far as I can tell, haven't been here to troll or put down UNT in any way. If they had I'd be all for cursing them off the board. It's a public forum, and they've taken a lot of abuse without replying in kind. I have no problem with banter, or even ridiculing each other's schools, but let's leave the personal insults out please.

i think had we have one guy that could drive to the basket consistently, it would have opened up a lot for our team, hamlet did this and his floater made him someone that defenses had to try and bring help on.
This year no one was going to try and double Bell down low, and he was the only one that would drive to the hoop
Rubin Jones looked surprisingly good in the Texas St. game. It wasn't a part of his game I think I had seen before, hopefully they let him do that a bit more next year.
-
I'd wager one way or another he isn't at LA Tech next year, this just sends a message of him wanting to move on.

I can't believe that Joe Golding would be one of the WOW candidates mentioned earlier.
If Mac was hired away and Hodge wasn't the next in line, that's definitely who I'd go for. You can just sense he is going to put a great program together at UTEP.

This right here. I've been wondering if UNT can include a salary bump when we move to the AAC to account for the increase in revenue/TV money. We get $500k in the CUSA. AAC teams get $7 million. Could Wren say, "hey, I can bump you to $1.2 million now, but once we get to the AAC in a year, I can get you another million with the extra TV money."
Frankly, it'll be critical to use that TV contract money to do everything possible to remain successful in preparation for the next AAC TV contract in 2030.
New members will likely be staggered with payouts meaning we won't get the full payout off the bat. No one knows what we will get but rumors are that it will be 2m and increasing every year. It also covers our entrance fee IIRC.

I mean, Mark Few has a reported salary around $2 million at Gonzaga. I'm sure he's turned down more to go elsewhere or at least could get more elsewhere if he wanted. Same with McDermott at Creighton at about $1.3 million. Not everybody is money motivated. You see it with pro athletes too. Some people are already making what they believe to be life changing money and are happy to stay where they are...
Knowing the type of guy Mac is I feel like he would be advocating bumps for his staff first and himself 2nd if he stays at UNT.

A big part of that equation is simply brand.
Agreed, but I talked about this in another thread. I saw so many transfers to other teams last year you'd think they were the ones that won an NCAA game.

Would love to snag whoever is the main recruiter at WKU. They always have impressive talent over there.

Could absolutely be a leverage play. Its a business.
SMU is willing to go to 5 years at $2.75m.
Those numbers don't make sense. He'd be getting more than Penny at Memphis for doing the same job as Jankovich. The expectation with that kind of salary is Sweet 16/Elite 8, what happens if he misses the tournament altogether?

Excited to see what this young man can do next year.

USC and UCLA to the Big 10
in Mean Green Football
Posted
Which I do find odd. Everyone knows that the Pac and the B1G are basically tied at the hip, so to have one stab the other in the back came out of nowhere. If for some reason they announced that this was more of a merger with the majority of Pac teams joining, I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe UCLA and USC are just the tip of the iceberg.
