Can you imagine NORTH TEXAS in the SEC, Fouts Field hosting the likes of Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, and LSU all in one season that place would fall apart and no NT fans could even get tickets to the games.

One could reasonably assume that if we had been in the SEC for the last 15 years, being a large state school we would attract SEC-caliber talent and would therefore be a pretty good program and would therefore have already had big crowds in a donor-supported and corporately-endorsed new stadium and it would be filled of our own fans.

I can't believe I just got sucked into this. Kill me.

I mean playing a well known team such as Louisana Tech, Boise State, Nevada, and Fresno State here at Fouts Field is alot more exciting then playing FIU, Western Kentucky, and Florida Atlantic.

[sarcasm]You have no idea how badly the Fresno State fan base is dying to come to Denton and watch the grinder of a game that would ensue! [/sarcasm]

Why stop there? Let's join the SEC!

Yes, an improved Conference Membership can WAG the team, stadium, and fan base to new levels. It's all about the "O". (opponents) B)

The SBC has improved even while we have not, yet our fans still crave OOC games that have better known teams. The SBC is what it is and is where it is...not in Texas except for us. Moving to a conference with better known and more regional conference opponents would greatly help us.

      I think that McCarney’s exit just burned the decision makers here to ever pay for a name coach with actual experience as a successful FBS coach from a previous stop. Like I’ve always said, this place needed a head coach that would galvanize the entire UNT Family. Make us want to follow him because we have seen that he can do something. Make us believe that we aren’t just some spare place on the CFB map, like most media and fans think outside of gmg.com. But the portal and NIL sort of burns all of that up now. When you can’t keep talent because it can be bought away at any time, the coaches at a place like this can’t afford to miss on recruiting, development, or coaching hires. It makes it really hard to build momentum in any fashion, knowing that your players and coaches are bought the moment that a Power School calls.

      I also give to the collectives and would like my money back from every athlete that transferred. I know it doesn’t work that way though. After losing ALMOST all of our good players from the football team AND basketball team to the transfer portal, I do question why I continue to give to the collectives. The answer, I guess, is that maybe it helps us attract new players to replace the good players that we used to have who left us through the portal. That is the only reason I am still giving. Anyone have any other reasons to help justify it?

      Name an upside...any. I wanted litrell gone more than most, but we settled for thrift store coach instead? Sure, he speaks instead of mumbles, but there are no results

      I have given to Harry's collective as did others and still saw our roster decimated by other poaching schools. I realize this is a necessary evil, but it's discouraging to give hard earned money when an athlete is going to leave regardless.
