One topic that I have been meaning to get to over the last few days, but haven’t had a chance to is where UNT stands as far as quarterbacks go moving forward following Brock Berglund’s decision to attend junior college. If you have not been following along, Berglund is the former Kansas quarterback who visited UNT and later decided to go to Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College, due largely to an NCAA ruling that would have forced him to sit a year and pay his own way if he enrolled at another FBS school. Point being, Berglund was high on UNT’s wish list in a year this team absolutely has to sign a quarterback. That was Dan McCarney’s take on national signing day in February. And it’s not too hard to see why. UNT didn’t sign a quarterback in its 2012 class. UNT signed three in 2011, but Cooper Jones has since moved to tight end and Brent Osborn was a JUCO transfer who will be a junior in the fall.

Brock Berglund, the former Valor Christian quarterback who left the University of Kansas under strenuous circumstances in January, will continue his football career at the junior college level. Berglund will enroll at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona, he said Wednesday. "It's one of those things you look at optimistically, but it's frustrating," Berglund said. "It's hard, but it's exciting that I get to play football, at the same time." The quarterback had been looking for a landing spot since Kansas dismissed him from the team on Jan. 16, specifically eyeing a Pac-12 transfer. But an error in his class schedule at KU, discovered two weeks ago, left him Berglund. (Denver Post file photo) two credits short of an NCAA requirement, and made Berglund academically ineligible — something of a no man's land for a potential transfer. "(Kansas) didn't look at one of the rules, and I had no control over my schedule the entire time," said Berglund, who had a 3.49 GPA at KU. "They brought this to our attention after we'd already gotten the release. It's been one of those things where it's frustrating and irritating and just a long process." Kansas didn't immediately return messages requesting comment. Were Berglund to transfer to a Division I school, he wouldn't be eligible to receive a scholarship for a full calendar year or play in the fall because of academic ineligibility. The year Berglund spent at Kansas acted, in essence, as a redshirt season, so he now has four years left to play four seasons of college football. Berglund will play immediately at Scottsdale Community College, and likely start. Scottdale went 7-4 last season. Cody Sokol, the Fighting Artichokes' starting quarterback, committed to Iowa after his sophomore season.
