Because you arenât saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying âI hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.â
You know itâs not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and Iâve been coming here since the 1990âs.
Now, not to say the Portal and NIL havenât had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with whatâs happening in our nation and around the world itâs forcing many to adjust their priorities.
With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothingâs changedâŚ..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other schoolâs head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.
Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.
