Do you guys listen to yourselves at all? If we had so much TV value why aren't we getting it now? But somehow if we left the system with the most valuable teams we would get more money? It doesn't have any kind of sense.
I thought our recruiting focus was on the state of Texas and more narrowly the Dallas-Ft. Worth talent pool. So the recruits are already living in/experiencing the benefits you list. I guess it would not be luring talent here as much as keeping it here and pointing out the negative aspects of going elsewhere. I think the problem we face is that in the mind of 17-18 year old high school players, there is an allure of being recruited out of state by so called "bigger" programs. It confers upon them an additional status symbol to strut in front of their friends and peers.
Well looks like everything is moving back to the AD and University like it was before. UNT will have to have some steep budget cuts if they are spending 20-30 of their budget to athletes. probably will have to drop some sports as well. Sad!
Here’s a couple more anecdotes for you to spin:
I coached a kid that played basketball at Wichita St. Average work ethic, tons of talent.
I also coached a kid that played football at UT. Average to above average work ethic, elite talent.
I doubt most D1 players don’t work any harder than their high school teammates, they just have more talent. I would even say that many less talented players have to work harder just to be able to get on the field.
I know there are a few high school coaches on the board. I’d love to hear their experience.
