Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit
wardly replied to NT80's topic in Mean Green Football
The ACC contract appears to be iron clad. It's difficult to find a sympathetic judge when your case is basically that the contract you agreed to years ago was unfair. It appears to me that the ACC is here to stay until their present agreement runs out. I just don't think you add 3 programs if you plan to dissolve the conference as soon as possible but that's just me. In addition, besides being a UNT fan I enjoy college sports, and having the opportunity to see ACC teams play in Dallas and Big 12 in Ft. Worth works for me. -
G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future
wardly replied to SUMG's topic in Mean Green Football
You are correct. It's time for some of the minor bowls to bite the dust anyway. -
G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future
wardly replied to SUMG's topic in Mean Green Football
I would mirror the existing 1AA football playoff system using the minor bowls as sites simply because this would be the path of least resistance. There is no way the G6 programs are included in the P4 playoff plans when they spin off. Once that is accomplished then you approach geographical conference realignment with the understanding that it is going to be a hard sell. The P4 schools could be called D1, G6 schools D1A, with the existing 1AA classification remaining the same. It works in high school and would work in college as well. Schools could be classified either by NIL funds or total athletic budget. Based upon historical alumni giving North Texas will struggle to be competitive in NIL funding. -
What new arena? Until the smoke clears and the P5 and G5 programs truly separate I would be very reluctant to spend millions on bricks and sticks if I am UNT. The 70 or so P5 programs are going to take most if not all the tv money with them when they go and basically the G5 programs will be gate revenue sports as well as a farm system for the rich and famous.

Will we see changes coming from inside UNT?

I meant "Texas D1 athletic programs." -

wardly replied to meangreenfaninno's topic in Mean Green Football
With a few exceptions UNT has been at the bottom of alumni giving in D1 athletic programs and I doubt that will change. The NIL more so that the transfer portal is our achilles heel . -
This decision was decided in the courthouse, not the NCAA, who has little power left.

When are we going to hear some good news?
wardly replied to Shark84's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Indiana State lost their coach and 7 players. -
Coaches and AD's use G5 programs as stepping stones [ Wren, Mac] so how can you not expect players to as well.

No longer are you building for the future. With the portal and NIL the future is no longer than your upcoming season.

I went to an anger management seminar once. It really pissed me off when I got the bill.

This is too logical to be accepted as fact.

Joining the BIG 10 nearly bankrupted the Rutgers athletic department. If memory serves they had to borrow several hundred million dollars from both Rutgers University and the Big 10 in order to upgrade their athletic facilities to meet conference standards. It's been a while but at one point some if not all of the payout they should of received as a Big 10 member was held back and applied against their loan. The University broke their own rule against loaning money to individual departments but changed it in order to bail out their Athletic Department. Hopefully he is closer in ability to the Big 12 commissioner than the PAC 12's.

Why I might agree with you I though it was original and very well done.

Did anyone else catch the SMU commercials during last nights LSU/Iowa women's basketball game? They were announcing their 2025 entry into the ACC, and it was pretty cool. Got to give them credit.

BREAKING: Jason Edwards to enter transfer portal
wardly replied to Jdawg48's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Boys,boys! Keep this up and I will need to send you to the principal's office. Personally I was pulling for Houston and disappointed that they lost a key player early in the game due to a injury. We would have had a much better season without injuries as well but that's part of all athletics. Also, just an old man's opinion but I have no problem with other than UNT fans posting on this site. Our Arkansas State poster has very good insight into college football and I always learn something from the information he shares. However he treats this site with respect, avoiding petty comments, and is treated with respect as well, something all of us could learn from. -

Well if it's considered compensation and a value is determined then I would think a "benefits" package would be taxable although I am not sure. Perhaps some one who does could chime in.
