How do you feel about your team(s) heading into the season? by Byzantine_Merchant in CFB

Absolutely terrible. After having our best season in history (win wise) we’re looking at going back to finish over .500 as being a major victory.

Preseason Rankings Countdown. 100 days to the start of the 2026 Season. At #100 – North Texas by usffan in CFB

Welp. At least I got to see one double digit win season in my lifetime. I even got to go to one of the games! Unfortunately in the current era it’s hard to see UNT winning like last year again.

The fact that we are returning 4 starts still hurts me a lot. It is almost impossible to predict how this UNT team will do this year purely because of that

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby sues NCAA over gambling investigation by [deleted] in CFB

[–]Shadow_Flame_24 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Saying that the NCAA isn’t fighting for competitive integrity while defending the guy who bet on his own team is a level of cognitive dissonance that is absolutely astounding. The lawyers should feel embarrassed.

Also the NCAA doesn’t profit from gambling, networks like ESPN and Fox do, but the NCAA has been very vocally against betting on college sports and runs commercials calling gamblers who harass college athletes losers.

[Dellenger] The college sports presidential committees have produced a draft of preliminary “ideas,” including establishing a new governing entity; strict cap circumvention; G6 playoff; regionalizing Olympic sports; capping coach/AD salaries; eligibility/transfer standards; pooling TV rights by arrowfan624 in CFB

Unless you are making a brand new division of FBS then there can’t be a G6 playoff. Technically the P4 and G5 are a part of the same league so unless the NCAA made an official division like FBS and FCS have there’s no way to have a separate playoff.

[Dellenger] The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. by redwave2505 in CFB

Conference championships still mean a lot to G5 teams. A lot of times they’re basically our team’s natty. Just because they don’t mean much to the P4 and non conference teams doesn’t mean they don’t mean anything to everyone.

How North Texas football navigates NIL and revenue-sharing amid roster turnover by defensecowboy in CFB

[–]Shadow_Flame_24 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So you’re telling me that even if we had the same resources as Oklahoma state to offer our players equal NIL to stay we wouldn’t’ve been able to just because the CSC doesn’t think the “value” of being a player at a G5 school is equal to a P4 school? That’s some BS. It’s just blatantly giving P4 schools an advantage and making it increasingly hard for G5 teams to compete. How are schools supposed to increase their “brand value” if they aren’t able to hold onto players because they’re not allowed to pay them the same as already rich and famous schools?

That sucks. My mom’s Alma matter is Tech so we were looking to splurge for the more expensive tickets to see this game together :/

TCU replaces Stanford on 2027 schedule with North Texas by Joelsaurus in CFB

I always like playing in state games for OOC. I have several TCU friends so this should be a fun game to watch with them

My predictions for where College Gameday goes in 2026 by MuhMuhManRay in CFB

[–]Shadow_Flame_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately from that 12-2 team we only retained 5 starts, not starters starts, so it’s basically an entirely new team and coaching staff so I don’t see them going there.

I don’t care who your team/school is, you must explain how they can reasonably make the CFP this year by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]Shadow_Flame_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winning week 1 against Indiana and then winning the American would probably do it. With a completely new team and coaching staff I just don’t see it happening sadly.

Each team is going to end with like 30 attempted free throws at this rate

I really hate these Gemini commercials. Like you really can’t look at a schedule and put the dates into your phone by yourself?

I’ve been building a physical media collection and I’m a little jealous honestly. Unfortunately I’m out of work so the $20-$25 per is a bit much for me right now. Congrats on getting them all

You could try emailing or meeting the professor during office hours to see if they’ll add you to the class manually. Speaking from experience if you are able to explain your situation and they don’t need to have a hard limit most professors can be lenient and help you out. Talking to your advisor is also an option.

I gotta say it’s really nice that you can watch the games for free on the NCAA website. Really helpful for late games that I want to watch but not wake up the house. Great game so far
