Does anyone have a connection with Mr Ryan? I think we could set up a fund with a amount that we could establish a fund that could support a minimum stipend to every player on the team. Elevating it to an even more attractive playing destination. We could tie the stipend to a neutral rating service I.e x amount per star. I'm not talking crazy amounts just something that could be sustainable.

Lesa Benton Roe’s mother discouraged her from going to college. No one in the Benton family — not even Lesa’s older brother and sister — had made it past high school. And her mother, a switchboard operator in Gainesville, Fla., feared that her youngest couldn’t cut it, even though Lesa was a straight-A student. “She was trying to brace me for failure,” Roe says. “But I had an internal drive to be something more.” Fortunately, Roe listened to her father, a groundskeeper for the Veterans Administration who had always regretted not having a college degree and expected her get one. She got two — an undergraduate degree and a master’s of science in electrical engineering. She didn’t really know what engineers did until she got a co-op job at NASA while studying at the University of Florida. During Roe’s 33-year meteoric career at NASA, she broke gender barriers and reshaped the way things got done at the $19.6 billion agency — making operations run smoother and more efficiently. She rose to second in command as acting deputy administrator when she retired in October and headed to Dallas.

DALLAS — University of North Texas System Chancellor Lee Jackson will remain in the position until at least 2017, after the university’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a contract extension Friday. The action shows the board’s continued confidence in Jackson, despite the financial challenges the system and the flagship campus in Denton are still facing, chairman Brint Ryan said. “I personally have found him to be a very capable leader, and he’s following the direction of the board and all of the new things that we want to do to change the system, to change UNT to make it better,” Ryan said after the vote.

My alma mater, the University of North Texas, has a healthy pattern of growth and a solid financial base, although you’ve seen some alarming revelations in recent months. I want the community to understand that our future is bright and our enrollment generates revenue that will allow us to continue to grow and excel. But we’re learning a hard lesson about the importance of solid and honest accounting, something my UNT professors taught me years ago. The old Russian proverb of “trust but verify,” appropriated by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, has new meaning and significance for the administrative leadership and regents of the University of North Texas System. The current board, our predecessors and system leaders have trusted that the individuals at UNT responsible for the basic tasks of managing the university’s funds were doing so accurately and professionally. But in recent years we began demanding technology upgrades and enhanced reporting to verify that the highest standards of accounting principles were being followed. As a result, we and our auditors have discovered and disclosed some significant errors and inaccurate reports. We have now documented a series of ingrained and improper financial practices that simply should never have happened.
