Do not tell me that having room and board, tuition and fees, tutoring, books and equipment and all the benefits a scholarship athlete receives has no value. I paid these costs for five students at 3 different schools. I would have paid North Texas to have had the opportunity to compete. It was absolutely gut wrenching to see three of my high school teammates playing here my freshman year. To those who so easily throw this away and sell out to the highest bidder, I say as an employer for 50 years do not profess friendships, loyalty, or team to those you have abandoned as you are deceitfully trying to maintain.

Clearly we remain uncompetitive

More than 4 decades ago Corky Nelson told a meeting that North Texas highest aspiration could only be to become the best of the bottom 100 programs in D- 1 , anything else was delusional. Corky saved football at North Texas with dedicated coaches that could operate on very limited resources. Do not deceive yourself that this program can exist even in FCS form w/o football. Any attempt to drop football will only result to a drop to non scholarship competition. This level of athletics for a school the size of NT would be a disgrace and make us even more the laughingstock of this state

Don’t forget state income tax in OK

One question——at 46K why are we considered a small school?

I was at our game last year w/ USA. Lopez was one of the better QBs we faced all year. He went toe to toes/ Chandler Morris

Name one major basketball only program in the state of Texas. Look at what lack of football has done to UTA. Football drives the bus in this state!!!

Emphasis on teachers, musicians, and liberals guarantee no loyalty as alums as well as poor paying jobs.

Recent article on two SMU people ( mother & daughter) giving $ 2.5 million for turf makeover shows the tremendously deep pockets of private programs. We may have donors who could do that, but they never will.

Teachers, musicians, and commuters are takers not givers. Any time spent soliciting them is wasted. Follow the grads who were active on campus. There lies the real source of support as alums.

You could make the same statement about the Dallas Cowboys but Jerry keeps reeling in more suckers for a bad team. Jerry puts PT Barnum to shame

Ride Denton area rapid transit and the bus from station to game and back. Beat them at their own game on parking

Yes this model does favor private schools, but yet it gives some element of reason to the present situation. W/O something like this there will only be three at most “ super conferences” and the others will just be “ farm” teams for them. Football and BB drive the bus and support all the Olympic sports. If you drop to BB as the only revenue sport especially in Texas you eventually kill your entire athletics program! I use UTA as a prime example and they have baseball that at least contributes some revenue.

Why is it ALWAYS “A SEARCH COMMITTEE “ rather than those who have a true interest in the future of NT athletics?
