AAC Names Parchman Most Outstanding Indoor Field Performer DENTON, Texas — UNT weight thrower Jake Parchman was named the Men’s Indoor Most Outstanding Field Performer from the 2025 AAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, the conference announced Thursday. Men’s and Women’s Most Outstanding Track Performer and Field Performer awards are presented to student-athletes who recorded the highest-ranking marks on the NCAA's Division I performance list during last week's American Indoor Track & Field Championships. Parchman’s school-record mark of 21.01 meters in the weight throw at the conference meet was No. 43 in the country this year. Parchman was the lone conference champion for the Mean Green at the AAC Championships. His final attempt was the best throw of his career, surpassing his own school record for the third time this season. He is just the second male athlete to win the award in program history, joining Jordan Wehr in 2011. The UNT track and field progam is set to kick off the outdoor season March 21-22 in Fort Worth at the TCU Alumni Invite.

And then there is this: Institutional Property Advisors Brokers Asset Sale for University of North Texas Student Housing Gateway at Denton Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, announced the sale of Gateway at Denton, a 228-unit, 696-bed, purpose-built student housing asset located near the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, Texas. “Enrollment at UNT grew over 24% during the past five years to 47,507 students in fall 2023,” said Peter Katz, IPA executive managing director. “With this rapidly growing enrollment and little-to-no recent deliveries, the demand for off-campus student housing is outpacing supply, and as a result, Gateway at Denton is 100% occupied for the 2024-25 school year. Our team is appreciative to have helped facilitate this highly competitive bidding environment, and we acknowledge the seller and buyer on their collaboration in completing the trade.” Katz and Drew Kile, IPA executive managing director, represented the seller, Los Angeles-based MJW Investments, and procured the buyer, Vesper Holdings. Tim Speck, senior vice president and division manager is Marcus & Millichap’s broker of record in Texas. The property is the first stop on Denton County Transportation Authority’s BST 164 bus line that takes students directly to campus. Rayzor Ranch Town Center, which includes a Sam’s Club, Walmart, WinCo, Albertsons, Petco, Academy Sports, and Marshalls is within a 10-minute drive. https://yieldpro.com/2024/09/gateway-at-denton/

All the AAC teams: Fast forwarded to just UNT:

I think they would be a solid addition and a fun road trip for both us, Rice and nUTSAck.

Makes you wonder why these coaches aren't chipping in on Nil? they get bigger salaries than doctors and lawyers!

I wish we had his receiver #1!

I always thought RV did a decent job. May have held onto the reigns too long is all.

I am all for transparency but goodness you would have lockerroom fights if you publicized what one player was paid over another one. I think you have to leave the amounts that are paid to the coaches. If you don't trust the NIL to do the right thing then you have much bigger issues. My problem with the Light The Tower or whatever it is called NIL for football is that a large portion of the donation like 20-30% goes to the Houston guys that run it. I want all the money to go to the players. That is why I choose not to participate in it.

I like that you are doing this independently of the official alumni association. They will want to get a big chunk of your budget.

They were much bigger and stronger.

I am with you. Mosley needs to get some big donors and eat the rest of his deal. He has single handedly destroyed what could have been a remarkable season historically speaking.

Well again it's the contracts that stipulate we had to keep Craponi. He got a 2 year deal which in hindsight was dumb. Agents drive this type of crap, basically setting the expectation that you can't get a good DC unless you are willing to give them a 2-year deal.
