How does anybody really know what NIL transactions have transpired or are being offered? There is no accounting required and no transparency to fans or potential donors.

DFW is the relocation capital of the U.S. More than 500 people a day are moving in from other parts of the country. We need to reach out to these orphaned college athletic fans, away from their home teams, and have them "adopt" the Mean Green as their local program.

Agree. I think he will elevate NT to where we have wanted it. Maybe 7-9 wins this year and next. He is also much more willing to engage with media about the program than Seth ever was. Not sure about his engaging fans yet. He is a climber and will not be at NT long.

It's that "small privates school" thing. They aren't allowed to associate with public university fans...

Except for the Maniacs, I've been disappointed in this new generation of NT student groups "in All 3 Phases"!

Fake. He's a $mut homer and a Troll on here.

I feel the same. Part of the culture of old school North Texas was it maintained it's "traditions" like bonfire and parade and true homecoming activities. The Alumni Association, Talons, Greeks, etc have mostly vanished now on game days. Our traditions and University spirit is being tossed aside like many things in society these days. Sad.

Vito said Tulsa is a "regional rival" for us. I disagree. Tulsa doesn't move the needle with most NT fans. True, they are a similar distance as Houston or San Antonio. But when was the last time a game with them was important? I felt La Tech was much more of a rival with great games in football and basketball.

Not all because of positive news either....

Continued winning will eventually help attendance, but the fanbase has been beat down recently in football. The last 5 season records are: 5-7, 7-7, 6-7, 4-6, 4-8. Sell to DFW, not just Denton! Better marketing is always needed for UNT Athletics. Time for billboards about NT sports around DFW, not about dorm food! Social media, twitter, and "X" are great for students and under 40s, but some of the older geezers and alums need printed copies in the mail and phone calls! It's NOT happening.

Does Athletics really make attempts to engage? The alum list used to be off limits for AD calls and solicitations. Is it still that way? It was wait until the fans/alums call, which most don’t/won’t.

The defense has been better but we were also facing QBs the last 2 weeks that made some bad throws. I noticed we got pass interference calls because DBs didn’t turn and look back for the ball. More work needed at recognizing when the receiver reacts to the ball getting close.

I was basing off what you said. You said the teams in the MVC with NT "were far from football elite". For comparison I said "I would also call AAC football today far from elite."

Then he could be like DePaul coach Ray Meyer who coached there from 1942-1984, until he retired. Then DePaul slowly declined until just an average program now. Or Georgetown coach John Thompson from 1972-1999. Likewise they declined after he left.

No it doesn't. These are Athletic conferences and media rights based on athletic power and viewer rankings. The former PAC schools left Stanford behind, one of the most academic colleges in the U.S.
