If he goes to another FBS team, he will only have one year of eligibility left correct?

2009-2010 - Played in BCS title game

2010-2011 - Played the whole season

2011-2012 - played this year and got injured

2012-2013 - Sit out due to transfer rules

I guess he could apply for a waiver to get a sixth year and would probably win it, but assuming he get the medical redshirt, I only see 1 year of eligibility left.

He's seeking a medical redshirt for this year. (Mentioned in your post.)

I think he would get two more years to play.

He was at SMU's practice today.

That is assuming he wins an appeal for a sixth year because he will be forced to sit out a year if he transfers to another FBS (no hardship, just a quitter). 5 years to play 4 right?

I can't really comment on the situation going on as being a family friend to the Gilbert's and former classmate in high school with him but, Garrett is NOT a quitter and never will be.

He will be playing on Sundays without a doubt and will put himself in the best situation to do so.

I will say however, I am extremely disappointed in Mack Brown and his ethics.

You don't have to comment on the situation...if you could just let us know if there is a greater than 0% chance he ends up at NT.

Ethics? You ever read "Meat On The Hoof" about the UT football program in the 60's? It was a NY Times best seller back in the day and authored by a Denton HS alum (the late Gary Shaw) who played at UT-Austin. It was an eye-opener for this college football fan.

GMG!

      I say we stay put and fight

      I’m out at the Big 12 Baseball Tournament this week and we are all in the same boat. Kansas State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech are all going to run into the same issues we are. They have good but not huge fanbases. Their top talent will be poached by the two leagues. They will have connectivity issues between players and fans like we will. They will have trouble getting their fans to dump money into the black hole that is players salaries. We actually have a heck of a recruiting edge over many places and we need to use that leverage immediately: 1. Smoking business climate. 2. Top sports market in the country. 3. Countless cultural experiences. 4. Robust shopping nightlife scene. 5. Mild winters. 6. No state income tax. When this movement takes on a full throttle professional business model, UNT will be poised to compete and lure talent equal to those not in the SEC and Big. We will need to professional horses in the Athletic Department. But I like our potential. Live work and showcase in DTX, Stillwater, Albuquerque, Boston, Corvallis, Ames or Boca Raton. You can see how this could possibly play out. Yes, go in sell and fight. GMG

      What has the NCAA done for UNT and where does it fit in the future. No way in hell should they be negotiating a financial commitment for UNT. You look at the NIL lawsuit and a lot of the claims could also be the same claims for G4’s. Combine and take legal action.

      We have to adjust to the circumstances or we are cowards. Don't forget the serenity prayer. Yes this NCAA thing and NIL is a mess but it will ultimately work its way out one way or another. The university has directed too much towards facilities and the programs to walk away. And I like what another poster said, let's band together with other G5 and sue the hell out of them. They all receive federal funding and any judge and jury would see this as monopolistic.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Your opinion and I've got mine. P4's can be paid/professional....G5's can be traditional College Football Players on Scholarships. Professional versus Amature don't mix.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      No to this. There are already established models all over the sports world that can be followed here in college sports. None of them punish a player for making it to a top level team. That's what this would do. Instead, the focus is usually on trying to get a return on the investment. Which means that they will want to help the player continue to develop and hope the player's value eventually meets or exceeds the contract. Allow the big schools to loan guys out, or sell for pennies on the dollar.
