Can you elaborate on this thought? I believe the window analogy is still valid, even if we are not getting the attention of the P5 crowds.

More people will tune into UNT to watch our teams play on TV than any other non-athletic endeavor I can think of.  Additionally, the COM's largest audiences, year in and out, are the crowds at Apogee seeing the Green Brigade.

Hello Greenminer! I am speaking of an expected ROI from the funds given to our athletic program. I can think of no G5 school that has benefited to any great success due to its prowess on the field or from exposure on TV.  As an example, our endowment and enrollment are very similar to UTA who, as you know, does not play football. UTD has an endowment about 4 times of UNT. These schools are doing quite well. 

In terms of name recognition, maybe a hard core fan will know about the Chanticleers, Montaineers, Dukes, or whoever else, but ask the average joe about Boise St., and they will just shrug their shoulders. 

Regarding your GB analogy, I would have to do some research before I could agree or disagree. I will say that the 15-20K fans that watch them at home games are pretty much the same people every time. The COM maintains a huge You Tube presence and there are videos with millions of "likes" from around the world. Couple that with a vigorous concert schedule (multiple events every day) and I would estimate that more people are exposed to the COM from concerts than from football games.

Please don't get me wrong. I love UNT football as much as anybody, but I would enjoy it at a D3 level just as much.  It just bothers me that we, and about everyone else, place so many resources in something where the returns are negligible.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      If they wanted to join the ACC, they would have joined with Cal and Stanford. We already tore the Pac 12 apart, the ACC is next.

      Softball Schedule Update--Weekend Games With Wichita State

      Well that eliminates one game I can go to. Senior ceremony is also going to be after the second game tomorrow. Hate that weather is getting in the way of this most accomplished senior class in our softball program's history.
