Good to see a UNT grad do well!

I am beginning to think so.

Sorry if this was posted but this board gets busy and I haven’t seen the thread. i sure hope this happens! Would make things so much better to have just the one window!

No doubt. But I do think Ross and his staff deserve a wee bit of credit as well!

Damn good road win!!

The need for third-party collectives is over. Looks like fans now can interact directly with their school’s NIL Exchange. They will also be able to benefit from the tax write offs now because colleges have that tax exempt status.

Where would you place the scoreboard if you remove it from there?

Still without their best player but very disappointing game nevertheless.

Me too. Good luck to him in El Paso.

Yup 100%. He needs a big breakthough season or he is done. Jarod isn't going to risk his own neck and will want to get another hire that will buy him time.

DENTON, Texas – UNT women’s basketball (11-4, 3-0 AAC) will aim to extend its winning streak to five games against Tulane on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. CT inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena. It is the first trip to Tulane for a North Texas team since 2014, and the Mean Green will be looking for their first road win against the Green Wave. Last season’s 77-70 overtime win at home marked the program’s first ever win in the series in six meetings. Tommisha Lampkin’s 18-point, 15-rebound performance helped UNT overcome a double-digit deficit late in the second half to tie the game at 67 and eventually outscore Tulane 10-3 in the overtime period. The Mean Green enter Wednesday’s contest on a four-game win streak that began on Dec. 21 in the nonconference finale against Chicago State and has spanned over the first three conference games. Memphis pushed North Texas to the brink of overtime its last time out on Jan. 4, but Ereauna Hardaway’s layup with two seconds left lifted the Mean Green to a 73-71 victory. Hardaway’s 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists against the Tigers paired with a 13-points, six rebound performance against Tulsa on Jan. 1 earned her a spot on the conference’s weekly honorable mention list. Tommisha Lampkin and Aniyah Johnson also played key roles in the win over Memphis. Lampkin posted her eighth double double of the season with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Johnson finished with 14 points and 10 boards. It marked the first time UNT teammates have posted a double double in the same game since Lampkin and DesiRay Kernal did so on Feb. 27, 2024 in the 4OT win over East Carolina. Tulane has gotten off to a solid start in Ashley Langford’s first season as head coach. The Green Wave are 9-5 overall and 2-1 in American Athletic Conference play with road wins over FAU and Charlotte. They are led by Amira Mabry and Sherese Pittman who both average north of 12 points and six rebounds per game. Wednesday’s game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call. WHAT 2 WATCH 4 • UNT will look to move to 4-0 in AAC play when it travels to Tulane on Wednesday. • Ereauna Hardaway was named to the AAC Honor Roll following her performances against Tulsa and Memphis. • North Texas ended nonconference play with an 8-4 record following a split at the Evan Moore Classic. • The Mean Green are closing in on the pro­gram's 600th career win, currently sitting at 596 entering Saturday. STUFFING THE STAT SHEET • In UNT's win over Wichita State, Desiree Wooten did something that no other Mean Green player since at least 2001 has done. • The sophomore guard stuffed the statsheet finishing with 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals. • There have only been two other players in the nation this season to post a stat line on par with Wooten's performance against the Shockers. In addition, Wooten joins a group of four other players with those numbers in a game in the history of the American Conference (Breanna Stewart, Danae McNeal, Napheesa Collier and Alicia Froling). A WIN WOULD... • Improve UNT to 12-4 on the year • Mark UNT's third straight win on the road in conference play • Be the 597th win in program history • Improve UNT to 4-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season

Good post! I agree with everything you said.

I mean that’s really admirable for you and all and we all respect your loyalty but how is this situation going to help us attract the other 95% of UNT alumni to get behind the program financially?

Best UNT AD ever!

He would be a good pickup!

It has to correct itself. They don't want to discourage all of the college football fans to the point they don't care about the sport anymore. I have a feeling they will ultimately start to reign in some of this insanity but it will take some of us refusing to pay for tickets and support the program via bowl attendance etc. Always follow the money.

He was a terrible hire. Sort of like ours.

UNT ATHLETICS: Wilson and Jane Jones Donate $1 Million to Athletics Center Expansion Project Wilson Jones is 1985 UNT graduate DENTON, Texas – Wilson and Jane Jones have donated $1 million to UNT Athletics’ on-going fundraising efforts toward the Athletics Center expansion project, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Tuesday. This $1 million gift helped kick start UNT Athletics' fundraising campaign for the Athletics Center Expansion, which aims to enhance the student-athlete experience through a focus on holistic development both in the classroom and in competition. The expansion will provide state-of-the-art facilities designed to support student-athletes' physical, mental, and academic growth. "I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Wilson and Jane Jones for their continued support of UNT,” Mosley said. “Their belief in the power of sports as a transformational tool has made an incredible impact on our student-athletes. “Through their generosity, they will help us Build Champions and Prepare Leaders long into the future. Their commitment to our mission inspires us every day, and we are proud to have them as partners in this journey. Thank you for believing in our vision and for making a lasting difference in the lives of our student-athletes." The Jones’ gift is the 11th of $1 million or more in UNT Athletics history. Wilson Jones is a 1985 UNT graduate. The family previously donated $5 million to UNT in 2022 to create The Wilson Jones Career Center in the G. Brint Ryan College of Business. He retired as CEO of Oshkosh Corporation in 2021. Jones led the company to a No. 8 ranking on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies list, a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award for being one of the best places to work, recognition as a Military Friendly Employer by Victory Media and one of Ethisphere Institute’s World’s Most Ethical Companies, as well as a spot as one of The Wall Street Journal's “Best Managed Companies” from 2017 to 2019. “As a proud graduate of UNT, I have seen firsthand the power of higher education and the role athletics plays in shaping the lives and futures of young leaders,” Jones said. “Jane and I are excited to contribute and support the Athletics Center Expansion campaign. UNT had a profound impact on helping me reach my full potential, and we hope this Athletics Center Expansion project will help student-athletes reach theirs.” Jones was named one of the top CEOs of 2018 and was honored with the UNT Distinguished Alumni Award and inducted into the G. Brint Ryan College of Business Hall of Fame in 2021. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size.
