Interesting. So, are there any P5 benefits left for the PAC-2 to dangle?
And how does the PAC-2 request media rights bid proposals for an unconfirmed conference membership?
Schools #1-10 = x value, schools 1-6, 8-10, + 12 = y value, and so on?

Word is the one in Dallas will give you comp tickets and money and you won't have to claim to be a fan for the first 9 years.
Also, attendance at games is not required, in fact it's discouraged.

Given NIL and the portal, unlimited transfers etc I wonder if the new Chancellor and BOR will ultimately decide to reevaluate our funding towards athletics. With the new rules we are basically a junior college or minor league team. Why should we spend millions on facilities and whatnot? SMU will never let is join the club, we have always been in their shadow and will continue to be with these new rules because of $$$. I love UNT sports as much as the rest of you but the deck is really stacked against us now.
You realize a funding increase for Athletics from the BOR will not include NIL funds? Those bribery funds have to come from donors or boosters outside the school. $mut has over 40 years experience (and a death penalty) with paying players.
Our Athletic Department has always done little to inspire and cultivate our fan base and students. Much of our Athletic growth was spurred by our location and school size.

Deion Sanders downplays transfer exodus from Colorado
"In the wake of 14 Colorado players entering the transfer portal this week, Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders downplayed the notion that their departures will have a significant impact on the team."

Opportunity to make a statement for the Athletic Department as a whole playing an SEC opponent at home. Opportunity lost.

The spring transfer portal opened today for football players. Wonder if we will lose anyone. The portal stays open for two weeks for non grad transfers.

Is that a bad thing? That's what companies are in business for.
College players are not businesses, or they didn't used to be. They were given an educational scholarship in exchange for playing for a specific school.
Then someone said the school (business) is making money by you playing for them; you should also get a cut of that. I wonder if employees ever sued to get a cut of profits from their employers? No, they work for contracted salary or pay and just go on strike (withhold service) when they want a better deal. Maybe players could strike instead of Portal?
Anyway, I hear junior high kids now don't want just an 8th grade education for playing football....they want a share of school taxes taken in each year.

You are confused. Naming rights are for large Athletic donations made directly to a school.
A school cannot take a donation for NIL purposes nor give athletes money for NIL. These are done now with 3rd party groups. The NCAA wants to add rules to permit schools to take this over sometime in the future....maybe.
UNT donor/donation guide...

He was AD at North Texas from 1990-92. He took over as AD from Corky Nelson. I think he may have been our first AD without also being Head Coach of football too?
Forgot he was a backup to Joe Namath at Bama, then won a National Championship of his own as QB.
Nice photos of his career here...

I usually have more respect for Texas Monthly's BBQ rankings, as I am a huge BBQ fan, but some of these locations are quite a ways from their schools. I have not heard of Interstellar, and was in Austin last weekend (went to Franklin's).
Interstellar got paid more NIL so they have to be ranked higher...right?

These kids entering the portal and signing elsewhere, I want to know what we offered/paid and what the new school is paying. Too much secrecy when the fan base is paying the salaries.
AD: Don't ask questions...

I do feel they could do better than to have it on the same day as the Day of the Dead festival.
More than a few people think Denton is Dead when it comes to supporting NT sports.

Good job killing the fun with inaction, Presidents, ADs, everyone involved. Once sport becomes only about the money, it’s jumped the shark and time to reboot.
Player$ have taken college sports away from being about the schools to being about themselve$.

I figured it would take a couple of years. His size was a concern.
Just say "NO" to high school developmental players!

Tangible ideas that will continue to move the AAC upward while also stating initiatives currently in action.
I think those will come in the future. He really is just a figurehead for the Conference Presidents and ADs. He may suggest something to them, but they have to sign off on actually doing something.

This is an example of saying a lot while saying absolutely nothing.
At least he seems excited. What did you expect him to say? "We're merging with the SEC" !

Yes, he did.

Next season will be fun. We’re going to learn a lot about Ross’ talent evaluation and what kind of team he wants. I’m excited in that regard.
Is this really that much different than JUCO level, where he had to remake the roster each year?

You don’t think Memphis basketball has a much better brand that the rest of the conference?
Memphis basketball has been in the media for a lot of things, not always good things....
Memphis will be fined $5,000 plus 0.25% of its average men's basketball budget — based on the average of the program's last three total budgets. Probation starts Tuesday and runs to Sept. 26, 2025.Sep 27, 2022

Avoid HS recruits, too much risk. JUCOs and Portal transfers only.

I think McCasland will get the Baylor job and Tech may be looking as Ross to replace him.
Tech fans would revolt. Ross has no skins or banners yet as a Dl coach. He has no connection to Tech like Grant did.

Maybe it helps Hodge's relationship with these guys too. Like "he looks out for me the person"
Seriously? That would be poor for Hodge's own career.
It would be like Bill Belichick to Tom Brady: "Maybe go test the waters at Tampa Bay?". lol
How could that possibly hurt Bill Belichick?
