And realize the cash saved from not going to games...

Documented in the scientific literature, the term used to describe the crowd appeal of Benford-coached basketball is known as "The Benford Effect". It is illustrated below:

3/18/16 . . . 

 

The day standards died at the University of North Texas.

The day a large number of UNT fans realized that UNT has never had any standards for athletics.

03/20/16...  The day UNT confirmed to every alumni everywhere that they don't care about winning in major athletic sports. 

UNT really should just drop to FCS and do what they really want to do: spend as little money as possible on athletics.

FIFY

By the way, FCS is gonna happen. Its just how and when it occurs. My guess is the Power Leagues schism in the revenue sports occurs within the next 5-10 years, but in stages. The SBCUSA and MAC will go first, allowing the AAC and MWC to acquire whatever pieces they want from those leagues to stay as a higher league that can still play against the Power Schools. Then the eventual culling of the rest will happen after this.

We gave up decades ago on being anything close to a school that is even in the upper echelon of non-power schools. Those schools above us literally want nothing to do with us as conference mates. The I-aa debacle put us in a coma, we came back to life, but we just don't have the stamina or the will to get healthy enough to be anything better than we were in the 70s. And that's how you have a whopping 2% of hundreds of thousands of people who actually attended and graduated from the school be the only ones to give one rip about sports.

It would make more sense to drop all scholarships, petition to join the NAIA and save the money at this point.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      The purple-hairs and protestors are probably not hard core Mean Green sports fans. Is being a liberal arts school to blame? Part of the issue is management just letting the programs sell themselves. More investment in marketing to the public and Alums instead of students has always been needed here. I feel lack of fan support really goes deeper than the current makeup of the student body. Part of it is not ever having a Medical school, Law school, or Engineering school on the Denton campus. Grads of those majors earn huge salaries, much more than Education or Arts majors. Thus they are more likely to give back more to Athletics.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      Times are changing with NIL and Portal. The players are being lured with $$. It may be time for hard contracts with buyouts to bind them to teams (schools), like NFL players. If a P5 wants them, then a buyout in the contract specifies what they owe the losing school. Same as with buying out a scheduled game. But there are more schools in FBS like us than not like us. It's a normal reaction to want to spend more funds on a successful sport, like basketball is right now at NT. At some schools basketball is terrible but the football is good, or baseball is good. ECU fans couldn't wait to be done with basketball because their baseball was ranked pre-season. But it's a chicken-egg thing. Why is our basketball now successful when it wasn't for many seasons with Benford and Trilli, even with good players? Better players, coaches? Yes to both. What is most important? Yes again to both. What needs to stay if one leaves. That would be the coach needs to stay. Coaching is the best investment a school can make....not money to players.
