As of now, yes. However the future seems unclear. I can see UNT with men's basketball and football, women's basketball, softball, volleyball, and soccer with everything else eliminated including track and field. In fact , some of the women's programs mentioned could be eliminated as well with just enough programs to satisfy Title IX. I think that when the G5 programs go their separate way that the NCAA will be unable to impose program requirements on its members. This is just a guess and by golly of an old man [81] who has seen many changes in college athletics when players were amateurs. This is no longer the case in a "pay for play" environment where the rules are being decided in the courtroom instead of the boardroom. The new financial requirements are overwhelming to programs like North Texas as where does the money to compete come from? It's no longer bricks and sticks which we have invested in just to level the playing field. It's the same question; what do we want, what do we need, and what are we willing to pay for? The next few years are going to be very challenging and some schools may remember that their mission is academics, not athletics, and decide to drop out of the race , similar to the decision UTA made decades ago.
College Athletics is better than Pro-Sports...get paid...change schools every year to the highest bidder. IMO...it ain't amateur sports anymore.
NIL may very well be the death to many G5 non revenue sports.
