Good find!

So how do we pronounce that? APP-oh-jee? Or is it more of a French ahp-uh-ZHAY? Sounds pretty snooty to say, "We play at ahp-uh-ZHAY Stadium."

Seems I looked up the wrong Apogee.

I guess THIS is the campus networking company who bought the rights, not the Audio and electronics company.

Notice that the first picture that comes up is UNT's campus?

On the contrary, seems like a great deal to me. Congratulations to all those involved!

Have to agree. We are sitting pretty nice in comparison. Not bad for a low rated Sun Belt team. Its speaks loud and clear.

Great job by our leaders!

We'll have to see what the final deal was. I may be wrong, but I believe $20 mill was the asking price.

If we are challenging TTech for #of years and $$$ that is impressive my friends. VERY impressive. Shows you how much $$$ is in supporting universities and infrastructure.

I kinda feel this steals the thunder from Rick and the university. How did this get leaked early?!

Who cares, that's 25% of the cost of the stadium, done. This is huge for all involved. Great deal for them, solid deal for us. We get co-branding witha leading technology firm. Provides us as a showcase system for them, meaning we'll always be at the top of the infrastructure race.

Definition of win:win.

Kudos to whoever handled this situation.
