This from the new SBC website which one of you may want to link for the entire SBC Media Day schedule. SBC Media Day will also be broadcast "live" on SIRIUS Satelite Radio beginning this next Monday, July 25'th at 9:00 AM.

ESPN's Jim Donnan interview with our Coach Dickey, Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas is scheduled for Monday, 10:30 AM--11:00 AM on the SIRIUS Satelite Radio.

SBC Media Day will actually be "Days" as it is being held on both Monday and Tuesday of this upcoming week.

Also, watch your local newspapers for coverage on those 2 days as well. The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and (certainly) the Denton Record-Chronicle have given SBC Media Days pretty good coverage in past years. Hey all you Houstonians who are North Texas Exes or Mean Green fans, does it get coverage with the Houston Chronicle, too?

GMG!

Jim...are you sure about that?

When I looked at that schedule....it looked like Jim Donnan was going to be interviewed by the hosts of this Sirius show, and that our trio would follow on that show. It doesn't say that Jim Donnan will do the interviewing, but that he will be interviewed.

At least that's what I read.................

My bad....

I think you are right, SUMG. Maybe they should let him interview our guys since he is most familiar with Darrell Dickey and the Mean Green football program since Donnan has been on many of our ESPN broadcasts the last few years.

I believe the ESPN broadcaster said in a TV broadcast of one of our games that he had coached with DD's dad (Coach Jim Dickey) in the past.

I think you are right. It really is great that the former Bulldog coach has such an affinity for us, as this can only help our cause... wink.gif

      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.
