Would other schools ever consider this?

Our athletic department, school and fans are too classy to ever think about this. But let’s just assume for a minute what other local schools maybe thinking with the changing conference landscape. Let's use SMU for example. Would June Jones consider making contact (indirect) with local underclassmen at New Mexico State? "You guys signed on to play competitive ball in the WAC which may not exist in the near future. Come on back to the metroplex/Texas. I can't guarantee a starting position but we always have room for quality depth. We currently play a CUSA schedule and soon Big East".

I don't know if they would entertain something like this. Just saying!

Football:

1 Travaughn Colwell QB 6/3 185 So. Manvel, Texas (Manvel HS)

4 Austin Franklin WR 6/2 180 So. Dallas, Texas (Kimball HS)

11 King Davis III QB 6/1 180 Fr. Mesquite, Texas (North Mesquite HS)

20 Samuel Oyenuga DB 5/11 180 RFr. Rowlett, Texas (Rowlett HS)

55 Valerian Ume-Ezeoke OL 6/2 275 So. Garland, Texas (Garland Lakeview Centennial HS)

69 Alexander Trujillo OL 6/2 280 RFr. Spring, Texas (Centennial HS)

70 Andy Cunningham OL 6/4 300 RFr. Frisco, Texas (Frisco HS)

72 Peter Foreman OL 6/4 310 Fr. Houston, Texas (St. Thomas HS)

73 Faison McKinnis OL 6/7 300 RFr. Frisco, Texas (Centennial HS)

Basketball:

K.C. Ross Miller God's Academy

Sat out 2011-2012; Will have 3 years remaining beginning this fall.

That would def. be an NCAA violation. Once you sign a LOI there is to be no more contact with a student athlete. If there is then its concidered tampering with a student athlete. Also when a player is transfering the 1st contact is suppose to be by the player but I think this is a lil more relaxed than anything else.

yea "classy" involves making up a stupid scenario that involves NCAA violations and then inserting the team that your fan base is obsessed with as the instigators while asserting your "class" to be above that :thumbsu:

With the record number of transfers coming this year, Cooleys post was clearly a hypothetical presentation, regardless of if NCAA rules.

1. Its a NCAA violation

2. NMSU & Idaho suck

also classy

Let's all find a message board that has no hypothetical threads, filters out any speculation and does not think their school is above anyone else.

how about one that does not obsess over SMU and that does not try to put their own thoughts of cheating onto another program when it was a UNT fan that came up with the idea to cheat...in a classy way of course :thumbsu:

I doubt the coaches or athletic administration at UNT would lower themselves to something like this, but it looks like some UNT fans would if they thought they could get away with it.....of course they could justify it by saying that SMU is probably doing the same!

Cooley, Great job in drawing out the atypical SMU fan who registers with the new marketing slogan of OUR university.

Hey, checkfacts, you douche bag, why don't you disappear.

Again.

Why don't you ask your boss if this behavior is still ongoing, and please get back to us ASAP! We may have to quickly look at rescheduling our future games if you guys are being yourselves and repeating history once again. Your help would be much appreciated. Seriously!

It's not different than most boards I've seen: there tends to be one or two schools in particular that draw the ire and obsession of some fans.

You're just having fun riling people up, and are now on my setting's ignore list.

      Softball Picks up Transfer Pitcher from Tulsa

      If anyone watched that game against Tulsa......you were jealous. Because you wished that she was on our team. Now she is. What a pick up. Of all the pitchers I saw us go against this year.....she might have been the toughest. That I saw anyway. Great news...

      New President Named ...

      I'm taking a (big) "wait and see approach" to this hire. I remember the L. Jackson and Helwig (AD) eras. Both had Austin ties and tried to make us UT "light" or flat out hold us back.

      New President Named ...

      Gretchen Bataille was disastrous, and V. Lane Rawlins came to the rescue (having previously been president of Washington State and Memphis) and got us back on track, but he said from the beginning he would not stick around very long. Smatresk had been President of UNLV for 4 years and had previously served as an administrator at UTA. I thought from the beginning Smatresk was a steal. Smatresk proved himself to be effective and is stepping down at just the right time. I think we need the expertise that Keller brings to the position and I am optimistic that he will prove to be a great hire.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      They were once at the top of the list. You could also apply this to educational facilities, as being not as important. Cost of tuition and NIL payments is more important and is proven by the lack of funds raised for our new AD building. NIL contribution will become even more important once it is tax deductible.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      Facilities do matter. All the glitz of a payday will eventually wear off, as NIL donations will fade and most players won't get a huge payday. There are thousands of football players out there that mostly want opportunity to play at the college level. The higher the level the better, and we are a pretty high level on the food chain even though it doesn't feel like it. The great equalizer is still a scholarship and playing time. Each FBS still has a limit of 85 scholarships and only 22 starters. You won't get many wanting to go to Houston as a walk on, and pay their on way, to sit on a bench 3 years to maybe get a scholarship and play as a senior.
