Dion, if they can’t start or contribute on special teams he is not recruiting them out of HS!

Wow, congrats, SIR!

James Maness caught the winning TD pass when TCU beat Arkansas 32-31 in 1984. The first time TCU had beaten Arkansas in about 20 years. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1985. His half-brother Freddie Allen was also a star football player at Decatur. A good friend of mine who is more knowledgeable about Decatur football than me said that James was the fastest white kid he had ever seen.

Nobody should ever give to the NIL and this is exactly why. We have the power. Not the players. They bring nothing without us and the school. Stop pandering to them. They take and take and take and give nothing. They run away. UNT should never have a NIL. Most people don’t like flushing their money down the toilet for nothing. Zero point in paying players who only care about themselves. They bring nothing to the table. If any of these players who are leaving took a dime of NIL they should be ashamed and held accountable.

Not worried for next season. There's another p4 transfer who needs to boost his stock waiting for an opportunity. Considering QB is the most expensive position, it seems a run first offense is the most cost effective way to be successful as a G5. Much cheaper and easier to replace offensive linemen/running backs than a QB. Here's a photo of the top ranked schools in terms of total rush attempts. Every single G5 champion is in this photo. About NIL, if you want the small people to donate $5-$10 per month, set up a web page with a live count monthly contributors and how much the monthly total subscription is. Show the small guy like myself that if I subscribe, it's not going into a pool too small to matter. If I a UNT fan went to the website and saw a live count of 20,000 monthly subscribers putting in $160k per month, they may decide to make that 20,001 subscribers. Going on the website, sending money, and having zero clue if it's doing anything will not entice new small donors. Netflix starts at $7 per month. You don't need a billionaire if you cultivate 20k small donors and it's much easier to lose a billionaire than it is to lose 20k small donors.
