Records also indicate that North Texas is pursuing participation in an exempt event. A full field for this event has already been announced, so out of respect for the process these details will not be shared until anything is finalized but The D1 Docket is working to secure the correct information at the moment.
These contracts lock North Texas into 7 non-conference contests and pursuing an additional 7 games, North Texas is a member of the Conference USA with a league slate of 18 games. In total, the Mean Green is committed to 25 games with the option to add 6 more contests of the 7 it is pursuing to their schedule.
Edit: Jon Rothstein reported what documents indicated, which is that North Texas intends to replace Western Michigan in the 2020 Diamond Head Classic
