  1. My nephews play at the youth/middle school level and I see foolishness from parents living vicariously through their kids. 

     

    NOTHING and I mean NOTHING in those games should ever escalate into shooting someone/following referees to their cars/fighting with other parents/etc.

    Here is what you need to be concerned with and @Cougar Kingand other UH fans can testify to this.

    Just because you get a top 10 NIL does not mean you get an invite.

    What I mean by that is if you look at the existing Big 12 makeup, how many teams do you seriously think would vote to have you in?  One of the reasons it took Houston so long is that they could not get a vote from Tech, TCU, Baylor, K-State, KU, OSU and the lessors.  Why exactly would that change now?  They already have a lot of mouths to feed.

    Secondly, you can claim everything is being run above board but when there is a lot of money changing hands there will always be the thread of bending the rules to win.  SMU administration needs to be very careful or they will be made an example of again like they were with the death penalty.

     

    SMU always has and always will have an inferiority complex amongst the P5. UH, Cincy, UCF, TCU, Utah and BYU didn't do all of this chirping and got invited to the club.

     

     

    SMU keeps talking about money and Dallas because they know they cannot compete where it really counts. So that's why you see all of this overcompensation.

    People on here sharing and investing in EVERYTHING SMU says just makes them more relevant.

  3. Coach Belk took one of the worst defenses in all of college football and turned it around with players he did not even recruit. He does NOT believe in the "wait til I get my guys" excuse that many subpar coaches use.

     

    I'm glad we have him for another year but he will get a head coaching job soon. Likely at the end of this season.

     

    Holgerson raising his pay and promoting him to Associate Head Coach is what we had to do to keep him.

    Hello, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Tucson, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Kansas City...AAU schools in UW, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and Kansas

    You're partially wrong. Cal, Stanford, Washington and Oregon are the only Pac 12 schools the Big Ten is targeting.

    With the proposed unlimited transfer options, the increase in P5 schollys to 95 and the NIL money it is time for the G's TO PULL OUT OF THE NCAA! 

    They need to form their own league with 4-5 conferences, set their own rules, and have a play off system with a national championship.

    There has not been 1 thing approved that has benefitted a G5 except maybe SMU with the NIL money.

    I could see a number of schools dropping football and focusing on BB! The next movement we will see is an increase scholarships for BB. 

    P5's are doing all in their power to make sure they never get upset by a G5 program.

     

    So in other words, you want UNT to drop down to FCS. Have fun being one of a few hundred people in the stands watching that garbage. 

    Maybe there are those in the UNT administration who feel the same as you.

  6. @meangreenfaninno You and most of the UNT people all have the same problem with VASTLY overestimating SMU. SMU has ZERO leverage with The Big 12. Zilch. None. Nada.

    It's time to put the SMU boogeyman fairytale to rest. The SWC has been dead for 25 years. It's time to move on.

     

    SMU is desperate for a P5 invite and I can assure you that openly begging for one doesn't get you invited to the club. If you want to go P5, do what we did. Do what UCF, Cincy and BYU did.

     

    SMU can't sell out a 30k stadium or draw TV ratings. They believe in throwing money at everything but that doesn't work when your target has money too.

  7. Big 12 will grab Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. Washington and Oregon can either come to The Big 12 or wait for a Big 10 invite that may or may not come.

     

    Stanford is Stanford and will do Stanford things. They have $37 billion, already recruit nationally and can afford independence if they want to. 

     

    Cal, Oregon State and Washington State are dead weight and have outlived their usefulness in the world of college football.

    Honestly never thought we’d play more than one season with SMU as a conference-mate—who knows, maybe not even one season.  
    Theres so much in the NCAA happening now & will in the future.  UNT still needs to take care of business.  (The End zone/Athletic Center venue is still a good idea).

    One day our constituency numbers will mean something; albeit some on GMG say it won’t. (SMU may prove them to be right).

    Funny how life can take you on so many unexpected destinations.  If I hadn’t had a girl friend going to TWU I would probably be a UH alum today.

    And in an alternate universe, you'd be posting rainbow texts (since there isn't a color you don't like) on Coogfans and Cougar's Digest.
