Mike Stojkovic, a sophomore linebacker who stepped into the starting lineup in the middle of last season and became one of UNT’s top defensive players, will sit out the upcoming season while dealing with off-the-field issues, head coach Dan McCarney confirmed on Wednesday.

Stojkovic played as freshman. He will spend the upcoming season as a redshirt and will have three years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2013. He will practice and will be among the 105 players who report for the beginning of two-a-days in August.

Wow...would have enjoyed watching him play this season. BIG loss for the Mean Green "D", but here's hoping he gets everything in order and we see him return next year to be a force on the Mean Green C-USA Defense.

Whatever the reason for the red shirt, I am just glad he's back and part of the Mean Green!

I'm real glad that this young man is going to continue to be with the team I'm not terribly concerned about his slot, because it has always been my observation that someone will see the opportunity to step up and fill the void. Things like this usually make for interesting stories in fall camp.

      I'm not sure they are going to offer us a choice.

      UNT students join growing number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges

      So true, Americans LOVE football and there are no football fans in that crowd. It reflects horrifically on UNT but a percentage of these haters are surely from the TWU community.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**

      So hard to watch this team crumble when everything's on the line. It's happened all season. No excuse for losing this game. Sure the bats were cold, but this is completely on our pitching staff. DeLong has to find us better pitchers with more mental toughness for next season. I can't believe a team this senior heavy that has done what they've done, can't play better than what we are watching. I'll go ahead and say it now. this team (especially the pitching staff) isn't mentally tough enough to win the conference tournament.
