Don't let reality get in the way. You have G5s paying their squad members who might never see the field during the game. More than 95% of the G5s can pay their best players. The other reality is we have an alum base that, for the most part, does not care about athletics. He is not being defeatist or delusional like many fans when he says we have to find another way to make this work. -

That's a pretty wild defeatist attitude from your head coach. Kind of explains why they won't even try with a certain level of prospect. I've been saying it since last year, the sooner we start cutting the football budget to add to the basketball budget the better off we will be. That is the only sport we have a chance to be nationally relevant in. We didn't capitalize on the sun belt championships, we didn't capitalize on the new stadium, we didn't capitalize on the conference change, we were a middling or below average team in a bottom 2 conference for most of the last 20 years, that window has closed. It's forever go mean green, but the (albeit far-fetched) dream is over.- 1

Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal
I agree,but most athletic departments with access to NIL funds seem not to. Also there is a difference between perceived value and return on investment. In my example Nike is willing to take the risk that Clark's perceived value of $26 million will generate a return on their investment. -

Just be a successful mid major! Merg with the MWC. Establish a playoff with a championship. I can see BB becoming the major driver for UNT sports.- 1

Over more than a decade ago I posted a marketing plan for the survival of G5’s. Darn good plan too. In fact, I used what I learned in my North Texas “Marketing Problems” class. I also have been saying for decades that time is of the essence. Those of you who mocked me will remember. Well, we did build a new stadium and even a nice indoor practice facility. But unfortunately we failed miserably at what was really important, WINNING and building a strong supportive fan base. We made very foolish decisions in hiring head coaches and even more so in their employment contracts. It cost us dearly. We lost well over a decade of opportunity, settling for mediocrity. Were we ever going to be invited to the P5? Of course not. But there will be a lot great schools left out as well. Had we had quality leaders in our Administration we would be a program other name schools would want to align with making what would be seen as a quality conference. But then again…….whats the saying? How does it go? All together now. But we are North Texas.
