    This should be an interesting discussion. 

    As for the "before high school" part, the linked article doesn't specify an age that defines "children."  Everything merely says "children" while some say "minors."  

    I found one video out of a local Fox affiliate that specified not before high school, so that's what I'm going with.

    Being California, you could hand them a flower to end the play. Instead of the players not in the game being on the sidelines they could have designated "safe spaces" where players from either team could go.

    All kidding aside, I see this as a way to reduce cost and liability and call it "being safety conscious". If they put it to the voters, fine. But cutting to save cost while the state continues to mandate regulation after regulation is another thing.

    Unbelievable. Only at North Texas. My guess is athletics won and some pposing students freaked out and cried foul. But who really knows. 

    Claiming violation of "Safe Space" rules because big football players scared them

    Basically, yes.   Coach's word I suppose.   
    If I understand it correctly, they have to enroll in the fall, wait until after classes actually start, and then they get put on scholarship (counting towards the 2019 signing class), but immediately have the funds to pay for school in 2018.

    Thank you

    With the thousands of recruits being recruited each year, I imagine you can name at least 50. Just don't put Darren Brown on that list, because he doesn't fit the mold. As I am sure others of your 50 wouldn't either. 

    So when UNT recruits a 2* player we are going after bad players, but other schools are OK since their 2* players are really just underrated?

    Yeah. The US should just petition things like the Rooney rule, but for athletes. Make it trickle down into collegiate athletics per quota scholarships and force the consumer to watch some white tailbacks again. Then when black athletes complain that the white athletes are being given scholarships solely based on the color of their skin just aologize, and then explain that affirmative action won the day and wish them better luck next year. Makes prefect sense, right?

    Agreed. 

    But this staff does not have the suave and/or saviness to out recruit other programs. But hey, I'm sure we'll land the hell out of some kids with Corpus Christi and Commerce offers. Maybe even an ACU sprinkled in too. 

    Do you really believe the stupid crap you write? If so why support UNT?
