UNT officials say the additional exposure that television games provide is just one of several ways the move to C-USA will help the program improve.

“We will be on TV a lot more than we ever have before and have access to more bowl games,” UNT athletic director Rick Villlarreal said about the benefits of moving to C-USA. “Those are all things that are important to coaches and to players.”

UNT spent the last 12 seasons as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

UNT also announced kickoff times for five of its games next season, bringing the total number of game times that have been set to seven.

I cut the cable years ago, so I have no idea what any of those channels are. Are most of them included in major cable/dish packages in the region? Are they premium channels? How much exposure does this really get?

It appears all but Comcast are part of the sports package in any cable/satellite deal.

And if a person doesn't own the sports package, they most likely don't watch college football.

will probably be more than 8 times. Every bowl game is televised. Also, I imagine the Georgia game will be on TV as well, and usually TXA picks up a game somewhere. TV appearances might hit double digits in 2013

Did anyone ever think that the Mean Green would be featured on TV 8 time?!

Hopefully this will help us tremendously.

I'm excited too, but more excited about so many afternoon games. I know it may interrupt tailgating for some, but they can return to the hill after the game. Afternoon games should mean more alumni from DFW who don't like to drive on Sat. night. We really do need to use some marketing skills to go after those people.

Good point Ragpicker --- post game tailgating should be much easier I just wonder how long the athletic department will let it go on...they have to cleanup and lock things down. It would be nice to know how long they would allow the tailgaters to stay.

I would think, Harry, (or hope} at least a couple of hours after the game.

      Nice. Man, TTG nailed it with that long post... at the time. I just don't know if Hodge left that guy here. To me, the only guys who would fit that profile on our current staff are Coaches Estelle & Herl. Both should get interviews. Remember, Coach Hodge inherited Rubin, Aaron, Moulaye, & Stone (as far as contributors were concerned). Coach Herl or Estelle would be inheriting zero contributors unless they could convince Lorient, Newell, & possibly Floyd, if he gets his extra year of eligibility due to the new JUCO eligibility rule) to stay. I dunno if that's going to happen though. But between TTG's post & now, the transfer portal has really taken on legs of its own. The idea of a roster being completely gutted year-over-year is not a foreign idea. So the requirement to "keep the train rolling along" doesn't make as much sense... because you're basically bringing in all new cars behind the locomotive anyway, you may as well upgrade the locomotive as well if one is available. Otherwise, the train you keep rolling along is starring guys like Tyran Mason, Alex Cotton, Brock Vice, & Masyn Howell.

      Not trying to call someone out for farting in the elevator BUT

      THAT is the only positive thing that could come out of this. IF we win the NIT, there will be mentions of the fact that we had a coach win the NIT and then go to a B12 school where he was immediately successful and then his replacement repeated the act 2 years later (along with a decent season in the previous year). However, that very small ember will only last for an extremely short time. If we follow this up with another Benford (or even a little better), we'll be right back where we were for the previous 30 years. In the grand scheme of things, this is probably just another time when we're on the cusp of breaking through to set a new level of reputation, only to fall flat on our faces. It's what we've done for nearly 50 years.

      He should be allowed to coach the rest of the NIT for the seniors. Those guys likely won't play any pro ball. This is the end of a chapter for them. Let them finish on top.

      Yeah, but it's a requirement that if you're leaving UNT for a Big12 school, you must leave us with some hardware and a banner in the rafters on the way out. I didn't make the rules. Coach Mac complied. It's only right that Hodge does as well. The Rebuild will be there. Ideally, the incoming coach will have some ballers that come with him from his previous school (It worked for coach Burton!).
