Lets say one of our heavy hitters told UNT AD Rick Villarreal something like this:
"Rick, here is $1 million dollars (or whatever it takes) of a specially designated gift from me and my business for you to bring in the biggest high profile school in University of North Texas athletic history; and I'd prefer such a school that rarely comes to the Lone Star State....
.......that is, a school that would take the bait and love the recruiting exposure of the 7 million populated North Texas Metroplex. And (preferably) I want you to find a school other than UT, OU or anyone from the Big 12 for that matter.

Your school choice & why? Might take some online research for this, but maybe even a school that has never ever played a game at either SMU or TCU, too?
My choice: Ohio State...this high profile game at Apogee would have media from all over the Deep South, Southwest and Big 10 coming to Denton, Texas, America.
Recruiting Ammo' For UNT Coaches, Too?
"Oh by the way, we have future OOC home games at Apogee Stadium with........ "Insert Big Time U School's Name", SMU, Army, (hopefully Navy again) etc, etc, etc, ....
......and, (insert Texas HS blue-chipper's name), most all our C-USA West Division schools you and you parents I'm sure already know about and most times your folks can even come see you play wearing the Mean Green at their stadiums since they would be well within driving distance."
GMG!
