Does UNT care about track and field?

NT track sports accounts for 6 of the 16 teams necessary to qualify for D1 status.

In the just concluded CUSA outdoor track and field championship, NT finished fifth in men and a horrible 11 in women.  

Track is primarily a partial scholarship sport.  Something that should greatly favor lower cost state schools in heavy populated areas. 

In the last 5 years, only 4 years with a conference meets because of Coronavirus, the best finish for the men was 4 in 2021 and women was 5 in 2018.

With an almost new facility built a couple of years ago, there are no excuses for NT not to fare better in track and field.

and now the director of track resigns....what did you do??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Weird timing for sure, I certainly knew nothing about that move.  However, I think the rather poor results in the last CUSA championship probably tipped the scales.  

It will be interesting to see, what Baker does.   He could hire separate coaches or continue with a post similar to what NT has now.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
