The PAC is in a weird place as I'm sure they don't want to take an FCS school, if your trying to build a premier conference the optics look bad. However there aren't a lot of options out there if they can't get other FBS schools to jump.
UNT's record over the last 20 years is 89-149. We are 1-6 in Bowl Games. We have had 4 winning seasons (that's being generous about a 7-7 finish). Our best players are poached every year.
Why would that program have fans outside of the handful of diehards on this board, especially in this state and this area where people have options?
Unless we somehow get ranked, and going to the games become "the thing to do", our attendance will remain the same. Good years maybe a couple of thousand more but people have to many other entertainment options and our students generally don't care. It's been this way for a long time.
I gave up my season tickets this year because I just couldn't make it to town for many of the games this year, but I plan on renewing next year. I feel the same about the portal/NIL, but I really enjoy the games and am hopeful some guidelines get established soon to control the constant moving, etc...
