UNT’s practices will be closed to fans this year. The first 40 minutes of each workout, which is usually nothing more than warmups and some early drills, will be open to the media and Mean Green Club members. A UNT spokesman said there might be some exceptions for certain boosters and VIPs. Former UNT coach Dan McCarney always opened up spring practice for whoever wanted to come by.

Why would you not want to open up practices to fans and try to get as much media coverage as possible?

Stinks that practices are closed.  Can't tell you how much I hate that.

So Littrell goes from saying anyone is welcome to .. "exceptions for certain boosters".  Yeah.... that wasn't his call at all.

I'm now at the point where I will gladly line up outside the AD when he and his cronies pack their bags and cheer loudly as they get in their cars one last time.

Once you decide to bunker in, just keep adding sandbags...

I'm sorry @pastorgrant, I could have swore I heard they would be open as they were in years past.

I guess you can get enough out of the first 40 minutes each session to merit "media coverage".

They would be wise to allow Vito to stay for the remainder.   Kick the MGC members out after the first 40 min. too, who cares?

[MGNation92]

Let me guess, practices are open to anyone above a $100k donation level? Seems about par for the course

So much this. RV doesn't want to be confronted by angry fans. I'm sure special arrangements will be made for the only 17 fans that matter, the same 17 fans that have obliterated this program to protect a friend.

Hahahahahahaha. Vito may face even more restrictions. The way this program treats the only serious reporter to cover the shit they put on the field/court never ceases to amaze. 

[Greenrex]

Is it common practice among all D1 programs for these training sessions to be closed?

Lol what a crock of shit, I didn't know this was a fraternity party.

[Hunter Green]

If practices are closed, why post an ad with the practice schedule? They should just go ahead and close the spring game as well for that matter.

I am certain I heard it or read it too. It was during some press conference early on iirc.

Closing ranks. If you have given in to the @flyonthewall PM campaign to manipulate you into supporting Rick Villarreal, you just might get an invite (if he tried it with me, I'm sure he tried it with others). 

This will be a private club team before RV is done. 

Have fun losing.

[NTAlum09]

1-11 this past season and you have to be a big time donor or a VIP member to watch spring practices? Lol this is a dang circus of a athletic department

Since when did we become Club Apogee? Are we going to have buy bottle service at the games to get in now?

This has officially become "us against them." 

[97and03]

Implementing completely new offense and defense.  Probably going to work to see who needs to get weeded out of the program as well, one could speculate.  Some real tough, come to Jesus type stuff perhaps.  No reason to close practices at all, right?

You ARE proposing a "Cask of Amontillado" retirement plan for Rick, right?
