On a really nice tv I'm sure. Maybe on an ipad occasionally if she's traveling.

She has a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida.  Hopefully there are no bad feelings about the whole tripped into the Gator QB thing.  

She's a member of the "Network with Gators" LinkedIn group. 

I feel like I'm stalking now, but looks like she has a son that currently plays football for Virginia Tech.   Maybe a good sign towards interests in athletics?

So here is a question that hasn't been asked.. 

Could the plans for the IPF and Office expansion be delayed because the new chancellor hasn't signed off on it? I'm assuming Jackson could do it, but no idea if he hasn't since he is on the way out

---------------

Wonder if he would transfer here to play?? Just saying we have an opening on the DL

He was a walk-on.

The kid we got from Kansas was a Walk-on... did you complain?  

Because from what  Vito has been reporting the kid is making a nice impression

Not sure why it would matter if he was or was not.. he is at a P5

Well, he doesn't look to be getting any playing time at VT.

That's why I brought it up, he is a RS-Jr, I'm hoping that he has completed classes but he woulda been at least a larger body to put in the middle of that DL while English was out since people don't like Tony's size at DT/NG. Also, he wouldn't take up a scholarship either I would assume

Damn! Don't get your bowels in an uproar!  I merely made a statement that he was a walkon.  Geez!

Her husband played football at the University of South Carolina, and her son currently plays for Virginia Tech. I'd be willing to guess that she is not only a fan of college football, but is also quite knowledgeable about it.

I am really liking our university leadership as far as athletics are concerned.

I wonder if the NCAA would allow an immediate playing transfer for a guy who's mom is the new chancellor ?

Doubt it because of the whole English thing, but he is a RS-Jr so I'm guessing he has likely already graduated that he could possibly transfer

Hilarious.....our university moves in a historic direction and some are concerned with whether her son can play football, too funny. In any case as far as athletics are concerned she will entrust the president of North Texas to be a major decision maker, I doubt they brought her in to "shake up" athletics.

What historic direction are you speaking of ?  The first chancellor for outer space ?  I'd just like to have the NT chancellor watch her son play and attend a North Texas game all at the same time.  He likely has no desire to play here.  My question was if he wanted to, would the NCAA  be a help or a hindrance.

I think the historical fact is that she is the first Women chancellor in the history of UNT.

Women have gotten the NT Chancellor job 50% of the time the job has been open.

      What is this program missing?

      Right but if we hadn't done anything since the 60s, we wouldn't have a football program today. We were one vote away from dropping football 20 something years ago. Our adminstration basically told the Athletic Department that if the next guy didn't turn things around, that was it. The next guy that was hired was Art Briles.

      What is this program missing?

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.
