Your history is somewhat skewed, but yes, NT has mostly liberal arts majors that don't care about athletics or supporting it. We don't have wealthy graduates that are doctors, lawyers, or engineers that can donate large $$ like many of the P5 schools have. Yet, here we are in the AAC with great athletic facilities. We have a lot of athletic history playing upper level schools while not being in an upper level conference like the SWC. Yet, here we are in a conference with Rice, Army, Tulane, Memphis, and $mut until they bought their way out. Still, it is surprising with such negative fans on our own quickly-fading fan board the school even sponsors athletics. -

Solid point, except that player will be playing for Ohio State or Oregon the next year. They are fortunate to have the donors to buy a new team every year. It's hard enough to care about UNT football, less difficult to not care about SMU- 1

So was Arkansas/ Fayetteville,Baylor/Waco, and others. If we really had a chance to get in the SWC these numbers would be much higher as there were still a large number of grads in DFW. Basketball also seemed to have larger attendance during this time than now. The harsh reality is that we have had a mediocre athletic program at best . The few exceptions were during the time when both the SWC and SEC did not take black athletics and early 2000's when we dominated the Sun Belt. Other than that we have had an underfunded athletic program with little financial support from both alumni and the university. Granted there have been exceptions but they have been few and far between. Even when our basketball program beat Purdue in the NCAA's and won the NIT the following year our home attendance was a mere 4,000 with enrollment 10 times that and Denton population around 100,000 or so. The students just don't seem to care and our alumni generally throw quarters around like manhole covers, yours truly included. I'd say we are lucky to be a G6 program instead of back in 1AA.- 2
