If a Charlotte or UTSA fans can provide me with their numbers from 2012, I'd be glad to update this post. Thanks.Both should show substantial increase for adding football alone which will skew the numbers but I'd still like to know as well.

One thing UNT and Rice has in common is that they give coaches with numerous losing seasons a million chances. Scratch that two things in common, head coaches at both schools complain that it's hard to recruit.
No, wait make that three things in common, nobody goes to the games because football doesn't for the school culture.
Queen is gonna queen.

I saw this on the interwebs today. Not sure if I should be surprised.
********************************************************************
Going back to 1960, there have only been 26 schools to win a football national championship.
Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
BYU
Clemson
Colorado
UF
FSU
Georgia
Georgia Tech
Miami
Michigan
Michigan St.
Minnesota
Nebraska
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Ole Miss
OU
Penn State
Pitt
Tennessee
Texas
USC (Southern Cal)
Washington
Go back to 1940 and you just add Maryland, UCLA, Iowa, Syracuse, and Army.I've bolded the teams I think have little chance to win again. I still refuse to put Nebraska on that list until their attendance starts to drop significantly.

Do you like the direction this is going? That schools with lots of money and fans are just buying players? That agents are now involved?
Because a gigantic school that has loathed athletics for decades isn't gonna play real well in that pool...
No, NOT AT ALL.
And the NCAA still had nothing to do with furthering these actions.

There are players out there at every level but, by and large, FCS players carry higher risk
It's why 259 players get drafted, and only 18 FCS were among them. It's why higher tier P5s don't rely on them, and it's why a program that does rely on them, is probably a struggling G5.
You completely missed the point. If a guy is FCS and can ball we need him and the fact he is FCS is not a detractor. The last guy we got from ACU worked out pretty damn well.

Awesome addition.
Prospect with a can't-miss combination of football character, skill and physical traits who is more likely to contend for immediate playing time for the Mean Green. His strength and flexion allow him to drop a deep anchor. He can be too mechanical, engaging in cursory contact rather than using his hands to whip the man in front of him quickly. He is an instinctive rusher, assailing the pocket with a non-stop barrage of activity. His hands are skilled and efficient to grease the edge while fluid counter steps open inside paths to the pocket. He needs to add a few more items to his rush menu in order to maintain his rush production against Division 1 tackles. He is scheme versatile and should be a very good starter with a very high floor, but his ceiling might not be as elevated as some of the talent he's been compared to.

Right there with you. I know we aren't going to compete with the big boys, but I'm EXTREMELY concerned we aren't even being competitive compared to other G5 programs. I'm seeing other schools bring in sought after P5 transfers while we're having to settle for FCS guys.
The FCS transfers don't bother me a bit. There are plenty of guys playing FCS that can excel at this level. There were 18 FCS players that were just drafted.

NCAA is successfully destroying themselves/amateur athletics.
Lol I don't think you know how this works. The Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA was violating anti-trust laws by restricting athlete compensation. The NCAA, like you, thinks this is a slippery slope and harmful to amateurism.

How is this the fault of the NCAA?

I just gave this fellow another content idea including the great Darrell Dickey - The infamous "Black Uniform" game. Let's see if he runs with it.

Tryna go. It’d be great if we could make the spring game a true event. Especially post basketball success it’d be cool to recognize them at the spring game, etc. once basketball ends, it’s a long haul without baseball to get to the start of football and it’d be nice to have one last big event spring semester. I remember feeling sick about playing it at Denton ISD some years back. We can do better than that.
We played at the Denton ISD facility the spring Fouts was torn down and Apogee was still under construction.

You sure you aren’t thinking of Riley Dodge?
The DB offer was from Texas…Tech. Riley was offered at UT as an athlete.

That's precisely the reason we'll never get into the American.

I’ll give them credit for showing up but it helps that almost all of them live here.

I’ll admit my ignorance on this point, however, I can’t imagine “many” kids get their scholarship pulled if they are taking care of their business.
Correct. I didn’t realize it was only P5.
It happens too often. Many? Maybe that was a poor choice of words on my part but I've seen it here in basketball. In reading the tea leaves, two players (of the total of 13) were not renewed one year.
The P5 thing is worded to be abused. Think Lane Kiffin or Todd Graham. Those two would find ways not to renew. Players can be pushed out by unscrupulous coaches (there are many and many is not a poor choice of words here).

Coaching is a career choice…one where you can get fired. I don’t think schools are able to fire players. I’ve always hated this argument. It’s apples to oranges.
Schollies are year to year and are not honored in many cases. So yes, players do get "fired".

Fouts - Denton, Texas (70+)
Apogee - Denton, Texas (The only game I've missed was the WKU Thursday night game. So about 60).

Memorial Stadium - Austin, Texas (2)
Memorial Stadium - Norman, Oklahoma (2)
Memorial Stadium - Berkley, California (1)
Floyd Casey - Waco, Texas (1)
Superdome - New Orleans, Louisiana All 5 bowls we've played there.
Michie Stadium - West Point, New York (1) It's pronounced Mike-eee.
Toyota Stadium - Frisco, Texas (1) Both the Frisco Bowl (La. Tech v SMU) and the Frisco Football Classic.

Razorback Stadium - Fayetteville, Arkansas (1) The win in 2018 should have been my second visit. The game in 2001 was cancelled due to September 11th. Arkansas replaced us with Weber State and we picked up Troy State.
Honorable Mention #1McLane Stadium - Waco, Texas. (1) Not for North Texas.
Honorable Mention #2 - Jones Stadium - Lubbock, Texas 1 million people claimed they were there but I really was. Special appearance by the great Graham Harrell.
Honorable Mention #3 Kyle Field - College Station, Texas My first college football game. I saw David Walker, George Woodard, Curtis Dickey, and Tony Franklin.

I'm curious of how many people will walk up to a game like this? How many people walk up to games at Apogee? How many people are just used to walking up and buying their tickets? Does anybody have any idea?

No way Smut brought 14k fans to Frisco. Probably LA Tech fans.
I went to the game with a La Tech buddy. Yes, at least 50% of the crowd were LT peeps.

USC and UCLA to the Big 10
in Mean Green Football
Posted
The Big XII will poach the PAC, not the other way around. I've paid close attention to that conference since I attended the football game against Cal and the 15K people who cared to show up. Now that USC and UCLA are gone, here is the list of good vs not so good properties. Attendance at the not so good's is abysmal.
Good: Oregon, UW, Utah, and the Arizona Schools.
Not so good: Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, Stanford and Colorado.
I see Arizona and Arizona State being poached by the Big XII.
