Well the courts have ruled that the NCAA can't prevent play for pay in college ports so we need to determine the best way to live with it. I think making athletes university employees deserves consideration. You would think that UNT could , as a condition of employment, could have contracts that specify terms and conditions that would prevent players annually hopscotching without a financial penalty as well as define the actual total compensation, such as room and board, etc. The problem with North Texas is that any money that donors like myself give towards NIL is money that I won't be giving to our athletic department. I have allocated a defined amount that I am willing to contribute to athletics regardless of which pocket it goes in. On another note the past AD of Colorado State stated that he sees a "Super G6 " conference it the future. I have heard of but not seen the article but it would appear to be another layer between the 'haves and have nots". Unfortunately I view us as being on the outside looking in without the financial commitment from donors that would put us in the conversation for some sort of upward projection.
Yup.
Then go hire a flex coach and go get the baddest bark eating 270lb Olinemen you can find that would LOVE to come to UNT. Then go get some 5'7" 200lb 4.7 40 fearless running backs that no one would take a chance on. Let's go mash on people with a 0 dollar salary cap.
Matter of fact... go hire Harding University's entire staff. Tell them to keep doing exactly what they're doing.
Jared can put this together and present to the fanbase. People will love it or hate, but they'll pay attention to it. He can even call it his idea, I'll allow it.
