Really? A minus for posting a title and a link to an article relevant to a topic that was previously posted here? Sensitive much?

One of the first rules of the plus/minus system is complaining about minuses automatically will get you a minus from someone. So, when you post something that gets a minus, it's best to just take it, or you might get bombarded with them. Edited by CMJ

Really, the only way to guarantee +'s for your posts is to buy an aircraft and take aerial pictures of UNT related buildings. Kinda expensive, but if you're REALLY into +'s, it may just be worth it.

The death penalty is the best thing that ever happened to SMU, 2010s publicity-wise.

This article isn't written if SMU didn't cheat their ass off 25 years ago.

Kinda pathetic to live off a black mark on your program 25 years previous, but, hell, SMU managed to turn it into a Big East invite (you damn sure don't see Rice in the Big Least, do you?), so more power to them.

Even in an article about their BBall program, the Journal brings up their sorry, cheating legacy. That tells you everything you need to know.

Unfortunately it wasn't good enough to beat UALR as they drilled SMU by 13. This Benford coached team may have the same record playing that schedule so it's really not saying much.

GTFO I'd take a 7-1 start with a new coach and a super "bare cupboard" all day and tomorrow. Straight up hater lol

They don't have a bare cupboard, and their coach is much better than ours, but they have played nobody. They wouldn't beat Creighton, UVA or even UTA. Their OOC schedule makes JJ's look like the ACC.

Good luck with Hofstra, four of there players were arrested a day before you play them, I am sure that will add to SMU's super awesome resume this season.

Not sure this year has much to do w/resume. Brown is just finding the kids that are gonna stay. 4 man '13 class, at least, and 3 transfers on the bench. They look good moving forward, this years start is icing, sorta unexpected

      He's "cleaning" something. Briskly, it appears. But I don't think it's the bell.

      Ask UTA how that worked out for them.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The P2 schools make 5x our annual revenue. Five times! And most of their revenue is from media deals, ticket sales and donations while our revenue is mostly from student fees. This article mentions a possible 22% revenue distribution to players (collectively bargained pro sports are closer to 50%.). As far as I can tell, our revenue from all sources is running at around $44M annually so 22% is about $9.6M that would go to the players. Where would this money come from? What would we have to cut to get it? Could we increase donations to cover that? I doubt it. I don’t think that you can ask students to pay the salaries of other “students” playing sports. That is not right. I wouldn’t have an issue with the players being compensated via media deals, ticket sales and alumni donations. But at North Texas, that ain’t big bucks. I just worry that the train has left the station on competing in football. Especially since there are teams in the P2 who can afford to pay their BACKUP quarterback more than our entire NIL budget. And every good player on our football team last season has left our school for more money at other schools. At that point, why even pretend that we can compete for a national championship in football? And if you can’t win, why not play something else? Let’s find a different level with a sustainable model that provides an opportunity to really compete. Basketball is a different story because you can put all of your resources into a rotation of just 8 players. And I do believe that we can still compete at a national level in basketball.
