Generally, I would agree with you, but we would need to commit a lot more resources to marketing and promoting those areas before I’d take our head coaches there. Just a few short years ago, I went to the one in Fort Worth and there were maybe 20 people there outside of athletic, university, and alumni association staff members, and of those 20 probably 10 were people who came down from Denton. I can’t imagine how disappointing it is as a head coach to show up to those kind of events with the lack of support.
I kind of wish they’d find a way to incorporate some musical group like the Eli Young Band to help drum up interest in these. We need to find some kind of “hook” for these events to build these up.
The next option is not what you want…to continue as a nomad that gets paid for OOC body bag games or play in a conference that gets no chance to ever win a title. Playing teams like the Power Teams in the B1G, SEC, most of the Big 12 and some of the ACC is not in the best interests of any G5 school anymore. The money is too much for them to ever let us fight fair.
I remember her sister Acheil Tac playing for Jalie. I wonder if she is also related to 6-5 Adhel Tac of South Grand Prairie? Just signed wIth the national champions South Carolina Gamecocks?
Like I stated, some players that depart early for pro or NIL deals will be revered as essential parts of our sports legacy for their contributions. They have earned their accolades and any post-career honors we may bestow upon them.
Others that come and go may only be regarded as productive journeymen. I am grateful that they selected North Texas as their stepping stone and brought their talents to Denton for a year.
I too am not thrilled with how NIL has destabilized rosters, but I am happy that we have a coaching staff that has demonstrated that they can navigate these new challenges.
