The opening segment was about the NCAA wanting to expand the tourny to ~96 teams and Collin Cowherd talked about how it would dilute the tournament and how hard it is to watch the first round as it is.

He said bringing teams like "North Texas State" and UNLV would water it down.

Maybe UNT should have not gone back to Scrappy from Eppy. Rodney Dangerfield would have been a better mascot.

Collin Cowherd dilutes sports talk radio.

I emailed his show when I heard it and even pointed out that he would not read it on the air because it would show how dumb he is....

It's been over 20 years now. If he were talking about Texas-State, I could understand, it hasn't been that long since they changed the name of the school. I even let the occasional "North Texas Eagles" slip by every so often (or else I'd be correcting people 24/7), but come on! North Texas State...

Shows his lack of knowledge about UNT (and basketball) right there.

I don't think it should expand, but not because this F Face said so.

We have our chance right now to make the tourney. If they let more teams in, it would just add more disparity between the 1 and 90+ seeds. The likelihood of an upset would be incredibly slim.

Also, what seed would the SunBelt autobid conference winner get in that field?

That guy's a prick. I'd like to see our starters run a 10 deep train on his Eastern Washington Sheryl Swoops and start something big.

Let's start beating big name teams, in both football and basketball, and start making some noise in the tournament. Then people will figure our real school name out. People are ignorant by nature.

He is a pompus douchebag. When I work nights, I'll listen to Jason Smith, but get beaten down by the overnight commercials. There used to be one of Cowturd saying he doesnt talk Kansas St football, cause "I only talk about the big name schools." He proved right there, that he is one of the major college doucher fans who is a large portion of what is wrong with college athletics. I gaurantee you it was no mistake. He knows damn well we are the University of North Texas. He was just taking a shot at a "smaller" school, which is evidence of the topic at hand to begin with.

Couldn't agree more. They will remember your name when you give them a reason to remember your name. Don't get mad at this random dude, because he is representative of the majority of the sports fan population.

Wanna make them remember the name University of North Texas? Win the Sun Belt Tournament, then beat a 2 seed in the NCAA.

No problem, right?

--If he were 50, 60 or 70 years old it might be understandable.... After all that was our name when those people were in college....

In his case we have been UNT all of his adult life... He just showed how ignorant he is.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      Denton is a much a problem as the university. The want so much to be "little Austin" and embrace the weird, hippy culture which includes being critical of spending on athletics, doing away with the HC parade because it isn't "sustainable", the constant bickering over the evolution of Fry Street from a hippy/drug user hangout of the 60's with buildings painted with murals, etc. to what it is today, citizens complaining about the university developing the golf course property into an athletics' focused area and the citizens being so short sighted as to not supporting the school and its teams because it isn't cool. They fight UNT at every turn when a partnership would have greatly benefitted both. UNT has forever been the "organization" that drove the tax revenue in Denton, but the citizens continued to bite the hand that feeds it.

      I don't understand why you are here. Your university, as much, or more, than any other university, has contributed to the current situation and I will laugh when you all end up in the same boat as the rest because you won't be part of the "have's" when the break occurs. To the UT's, Bama's, Ohio State's, and Michigan's of the world, you all are just the snotty nosed kid with rich parents that is fun to bring along because you will pay for crap nobody else wants to.

      Spring transfer portal

      There are approximately zero reasons to recruit high school players. Let's use China Spring QB for example. He will come in and probably not play year 1. But all year he will eat our food, lift our weights, live in our dorm, attend our school. Then year 2 he might be the starter. Throw for perhaps 3k yards, 25ish TD 10ish INT. And those numbers might not even get us into a bowl game or conference contention. So, we basically just did everything for him with absolutely no ROI, ZERO. Nevertheless, that's enough for him to be relegated to the pros at Utah, or AZ, or Arkansas as a surefire backup making 150-200k a year over the next 3 years. What would keep him here? Do we have 150-200K to keep a P5 backup as our starter? Every year. Year after year after year? Do we even WANT to do that?

      Spring transfer portal

      Unless you know a kid can come in and contribute right away, what is the benefit of signing guys out of high school. I think this really hurts recruiting at that level. Why develop them for someone else? The only players that will use the red shirt year will be ones at big schools getting paid nice NIL deals to sit the bench as insurance. Going to have to be able to adapt quickly to the new landscape in college athletics.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      UTSA has a better location than us given the fact they are the only football brand in a very large city. They pull better for their games when they are bad than we do when we are good. They have more donors than we do. They celebrate their accomplishments on the boardwalk with thousands of people. We celebrate ours on Twitter as our coaches depart.
