What a chump. Go kick rocks and lose on another team. At this point we can boo these traitors and boo the new guys. College sports is simply pathetic. Our “new guys” are pulling the same crap. Shut it down. Nothing to cheer for anymore.

I don't understand the move to New Mexico. That is a lateral move at best.

Players these days like to run away. Keeps Blake away. They aren’t mentality prepared to actually compete. It’s easier to run away and try to get cash than be the best player on the court. That’s this generation. Run away and hide behind others while trying to get petty cash where they can.

Nothing will change my mind. They rather be like Lebron than Jordan (granted I hate he went to the wizards) and Kobe. This generation always wants theirs. Selfish and yes run away until they find it. Can’t ever grow where they are planted. That’s a fact for many and evidence by college athletics.

Who are you comparing "Players these day" to? Never before has college players been paid and allowed to transfer each year. Don't know if kids today are any different than at any other time under the same circumstances.

Precisely!!  Why can’t these kids be more like Kobe, who would NEVER try to leave his team…

Noland wore out his welcome at OU. He found an important role in a good program at North Texas. He really could have been featured next season and made his mark here but chose to leave. Just another hired gun who won’t be remembered anywhere he has been. Can’t imagine he is making much more NIL at New Mexico.

I thought his mom’s post on Twitter was kinda strange. They were looking for a place to show “all” his talents. She made a point to put the all in quotes. Makes me wonder what they meant by that because he was poised to be the go-to guy and leader next year. Guess we’ll never know.

Yeah, thought that was pretty cryptic. Not sure what happened behind the scenes.  I thought he would be a cornerstone piece for next year. Oh well, time to move on

Strange— but at a more historic program, better perceived conference and I would think slightly better NIL. 

In a crappy state at a university that is known for?  Have no idea what he wants, or Edwards,  but thanks for your one year here. Now bye. Don’t really care if you fail or succeed.

So, is he going to play on the football team there or is she talking about the opportunity to major in basket weaving?

They're a good basketball school and have been for some time.  For that matter NMSU has some decent basketball tradition too, even if they had a down year.

Lived in Albuquerque for many years.  They are the only game in town and the fans show up for the games.  You couldn't get a game for years.  The last five years they were not good and the crowd thinned and tickets were available and attendance was way down.  I sure if they are winning now they are drawing a crowd.  UNM is truly a commuter school.    They have a medical school and an engineering school.  The campus is located in not a great area of town.   Hope he finds happiness there.

He’ll be on the move after this year.

Once they move on, we need to as well. Let's focus on the guys that WILL be here not the guys that choose to leave. That is the new college landscape. I don't care about what they do at whatever school they choose to go to. I care about the guys that are here. Again, it is going to be a year-to-year situation with most of these guys.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The P2 schools make 5x our annual revenue. Five times! And most of their revenue is from media deals, ticket sales and donations while our revenue is mostly from student fees. This article mentions a possible 22% revenue distribution to players (collectively bargained pro sports are closer to 50%.). As far as I can tell, our revenue from all sources is running at around $44M annually so 22% is about $9.6M that would go to the players. Where would this money come from? What would we have to cut to get it? Could we increase donations to cover that? I doubt it. I don’t think that you can ask students to pay the salaries of other “students” playing sports. That is not right. I wouldn’t have an issue with the players being compensated via media deals, ticket sales and alumni donations. But at North Texas, that ain’t big bucks. I just worry that the train has left the station on competing in football. Especially since there are teams in the P2 who can afford to pay their BACKUP quarterback more than our entire NIL budget. And every good player on our football team last season has left our school for more money at other schools. At that point, why even pretend that we can compete for a national championship in football? And if you can’t win, why not play something else? Let’s find a different level with a sustainable model that provides an opportunity to really compete. Basketball is a different story because you can put all of your resources into a rotation of just 8 players. And I do believe that we can still compete at a national level in basketball.
