Has this alleged person been offered and accepted the position? 

Since this person has supposedly been named "new AD", I'm going to go out on a long limb here and say they were offered and accepted.

then what could possibly be the delay in announcing the NEW UNT AD?  Speculation that it is a person from a BIG School, and has to negotiate his/her buy-out/exit package???  Other than that, they should be able to announce almost immediately.....get in here and get to work!!!!!

The main point being it's an energetic outsider.  I think that was a lot of the concern here on the forum. More to follow.  Dottin' "i"s and crossin' "t"s.  Should be done sooner than later.

Maybe the President isn't sure his pick will be approved by the BOR, which contains members that still want to do things the "UNT way." Translation? Good ole boy Hank into the job.

Has the BOR signed off?

If the BOR will not accept his recommendation, the President needs to resign.  He was hired to make decisions.  If they are going to second guess him, he is being cut off at his knees.

Unless this person is a coach or current Athletics Director for a school, he/she wouldn't be working under a contract. I doubt we'd be getting a head coach and so we'd be looking at only a year or two contract for an assistant coach.

I don't really know all of the BOR, but I don't think Brint Ryan wants to keep funneling more of his $millions into the same hole.   As for the other regents, Brint will get them in line.

Hank's gone brother.  No need to worry.

Hope you are right. Believe it when I see it.

And that's what will happen if his choice is blocked. Not right away, as he is obviously smart enough to find another gig before doing this. 

There are roadblocks on the BOR to an outsider (multiple sources). Hopefully Smatresk can overcome .

Exactly!  Hell, what do you need a University President for on such matters?

Expect all paperwork complete by EOB tomorrow and an announcement following as soon as logistically smart.

Eaglegreen apparently has solid sources.

Impatient?  Some of us have been around for a long, long time.  Since the '60's and before that!

Back when RV was hired it was down to him and Dave Martin of OSU.  Dave is still at OSU as Deputy AD.  I wonder how things would have turned out had he got the offer over RV...  We'll never know.

      KState MBB and Jerome Tang: What is going on?

      Is something brewing at Kansas State? Wasn't Tang the next big, up-and-coming coach? Achor Achor, who transferred from Samford to Kansas State, has been dismissed from the men's basketball team after playing in just seven games. His performance this season saw him averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds, a significant drop from his time at Samford. This marks the second consecutive year that Kansas State has dismissed a player mid-season, raising questions about team cohesion and management under coach Jerome Tang. While some sources suggest the dismissal was due to conduct detrimental to the team, the exact reasons remain officially undisclosed. This development adds to the ongoing narrative of challenges within the Wildcats' program. source

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago. Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate. Speaking of “bye bye topic”, this one will be locked and gone shortly.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?
