New coaching staff, new player evaluation techniques, new requirements for both practice and games, new and higher academic expectations, etc., etc. One has to expect that some of the current players will simply not want to, for whatever reason, buy into the new way things are being done. Much like the changes with the new stadium have upset some fans and alumni who want it "their way". No problem with that, just might mean a few more defections before everyone "buys in". As another poster said, these are young men, and they have their own priorities and expectations. Sometimes egos and the "macho" thing get in the way, sometimes the hear just isn't in it any more and sometimes they see the lack of playing time not worth the effort and instead of competing for the playing time, they take another course of action. Their decision, and we should not fault them...wish them the best, thank them for the service they did give and let's all move on. It opens a spot for someone to move up and opens a scholarship for someone who wants to be part of the rebuilding efforts.

This will be felt next year when the four seniors ahead of him are gone. Wonder if Coach Mac will go the JUCO route? Anybody know if he has a history of hitting the JUCO's when he was at Iowa State?

He built the team ,nearly all, with JC kids . This was true at least, the first couple of years.

      Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.

      So was Arkansas/ Fayetteville,Baylor/Waco, and others. If we really had a chance to get in the SWC these numbers would be much higher as there were still a large number of grads in DFW. Basketball also seemed to have larger attendance during this time than now. The harsh reality is that we have had a mediocre athletic program at best . The few exceptions were during the time when both the SWC and SEC did not take black athletics and early 2000's when we dominated the Sun Belt. Other than that we have had an underfunded athletic program with little financial support from both alumni and the university. Granted there have been exceptions but they have been few and far between. Even when our basketball program beat Purdue in the NCAA's and won the NIT the following year our home attendance was a mere 4,000 with enrollment 10 times that and Denton population around 100,000 or so. The students just don't seem to care and our alumni generally throw quarters around like manhole covers, yours truly included. I'd say we are lucky to be a G6 program instead of back in 1AA.

      Not sure if it’s great trash talking to point out that they’re competing with Alabama for recruits😬😬
