UNT football team to take hit next year
There will be a story in tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle that will go over where UNT stands after the release of the NCAA's APR report.
Here is a quick and important point: UNT will take its scholarship penalties next season through attrition. In other words, the Mean Green will have 80 players on scholarship in the fall instead of 85. Five players who were scheduled to come back, but have since left due to injuries or other factors will not be replaced with another scholarship player.
UNT will still have a full allotment of scholarships to give in its next recruiting class, although with only a handful of seniors on the team, it could be a small group.
UNT will not fill its final open basketball scholarship for its 2008 class.

Brett...can you find out how the NCAA comes up with those penalties? As several posters have noted at gmg.com...other schools have lesser APR scores in football and basketball...and didn't receive as harsh a penalty as UNT.
