That also put you dozens of spots behind the worst Mountain West team, 11th in the AAC, 6th in the America East, 5th in the Southland, 9th in the WCC. You're behind Maryland Eastern Shore lol.

If NT is spending so much, they must be very poorly managed because the results aren't there. At all.

Your athletics department ranks behind MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE... Let that sink in.

Going in to the 20-21 athletic seasons, UNT ranked 4th in total C-USA championships since the current configuration formed in 2013. The director's cup isn't a good metric for measuring a department's programs. It dings departments that don't sponsor baseball, making it almost impossible for those programs to outrank programs that do sponsor baseball.

NMSU doesn't even have a conference. No one wants them. So, I guess North Texas is still ahead of them.

You're wrong and you don't know how the Directors Cup works, because it has nothing to do with having baseball or not. It doesn't ding anyone for not having any particular sport. And Maryland Eastern Shores 10-44 baseball team isn't the reason North Texas is 184th in the country, and behind Alabama State, Bethune Cookman and Incarnate Word.

And sadly, you're wrong about NMSU as well, so you guessed wrong there as well. We were 40 spots ahead NT. Your money is going down the drain man. It won't help if you just waste it.

I'd say whoever brought up North Texas and thinks of you being like Tarleton isn't far off. You'd be good conference mates. You could drive vans over to them instead ofnspending all of your "huge" budget flying all over the place.

Maryland Frickin Eastern Shore dude. Wow.

Yeah, and historically North Texas has a 22-9-2 record against NMSU in football, so I don't care where the director's cup thinks we rank. The true measure of FBS level athletic departments is based on the performance of football, and basketball, with some consideration for the other sports.

But, good luck with the conference portion of your football schedule next season.

If I were you, I wouldn't either if we were worse than Maryland Eastern Shore.

Good luck with your season too. Keep racking up those wins against Houston (Baptist lol).

Maryland Eastern Shore. Smh...

New Mexico State has posted exactly one winning season since 2003, and didn't field any athletic teams in 2020. Seems like UNT is ahead of NMSU regardless of what the director's cup thinks.
