    Exactly how are they suppose to “clean up”? With our massive NIL? With our incredible following? Because of our incredible success?

    You get talented players by offering them money, playing time, visibility, and success. We have very little money, lots of playing time, visibility is what it is here, and almost zero success in 45 years that anyone beyond the diehards know about.

    You have a billion alumni. You don't need mega donors like we do to play the game at the AAC level.

    $1,000,000 would make a massive impact. That $100 from 10,000 alumni. That's doable.  You can't even take a family of four out to a decent restaurant for that much.

    Or $50/month from just 1600 people.  

    Find players looking to move up or down and sell them on coming back local to DFW so momma can watch him play.  Give him some basic NIL.  That's all you need.

    Its still Memphis.  There are infinitely more talented prospects within 100 mile radius of UNT than in the entire state of TN.  Memphis is a straw man argument.

    They're stuck in their box of woe, which I understand.  But they're still wrong and not looking at data.

    UNT should be cleaning up on players moving down for playing time, just like Dykes did at SMU, just like top G5's do.  It's right there.

    You know, SMU and it's alumni can be associated with two negative things:

    1. Football cheating

    2. Enron

    #1 is like bribes in Mexico or pretending you didn't find that unmarked graveyard on your construction project - technically not allowed but widespread and expected. 

    #2 is just plain ol' greed. No big deal, nobody got hurt.

    Yet somehow we're worse than Baylor hiding rape and literal murder, or Penn St. facilitating decades of child rape, or Kent State viciously attacking those national guard troops.  It's outrageous.

    Same speech two years ago with that new coach… didn’t happen then either. 

    Not from me.  Nothing in Lanier's background suggested he was going to do any different at SMU.  I did think NIL would help him.....but he wouldn't utilize it.  Strange.

    Enfield isn't taking us to the final four.  But he has a long history of high level recruiting and rebuilding, which is what we need to do quickly.  We can get to where USC is, then reevaluate.  Probably the best we could hope for

  5. Looks like coach Andy Enfield is moving up from USC to take the head coaching job at SMU.

    This is Enfield's third stop as a HC, first at FGCU in the Atlantic Sun (FCS level) and then USC in the failed PAC conference (G6).

    Thus SMU is his first stop at a P3 level conference, and it'll take all his skill and NIL to compete in the ACC, which currently has four teams in the sweet 16.  

    Enfield has BIG SHOES TO FILL following Lanier's vaunted 20 win season and almost winning a game in the AAC tourney.

    I'm excited, but it's always scary to gamble on an up-and-comer.

    Good for him. He seemed like a good coach. Curious to see how he navigates his team w/out the big NIL support that SMU had. 

    Incorrect.  And he barely used our NIL support.   Very Dabo.

    Lol.  I thought with your NIL mega=million$ you could buy players/wins in every sport?

    You have to have a coach willing and able to utilize the portal and NIL in order to actually use it.  This seems to not be the case.

    Hey Denton Stang, we’re  you at the game ?

    No.  I can't emotionally invest in SMU basketball that much when I have zero confidence in Lanier. Once we're out of the same conference maybe I become a UNT bball fan.  Better chance of going to the tournament.
