We have all slated all this time aside to go to every home game for football and tailgate.

I challenge everyone here to do the same this Saturday as if it was a football game. The game is at 2pm. Lets so up in force and let the tam know that the attendance and support given last night wasn't just a "name thing", it wasn't who they played but it was because we are behind the BASKETBALL team.

With High School football playoffs starting this weekend I am currently scheduled to work but I am doing my damnedest to get moved to a different game. Lets show up, drink some beers, and support the basketball team!

I am not accusing anyone on here of not supporting basketball, I am simply asking to come out... bring your kids, wifes, husbands (CBL), and whoever the hell else needs some Mean Green.

      He's "cleaning" something. Briskly, it appears. But I don't think it's the bell.

      Ask UTA how that worked out for them.

      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.
