You are receiving down votes because you are the guy who constantly harps on "not settling" and "#oldenton", and is tired of "excuses" for everything that isn't first class and P5 worthy.   Howev

You know, there is always the option of starting up an external 501(c) entity whose sole purpose is to donate its revenue to specific, restricted gifts to UNT. 

Screw scholarships, let's start a gold plated toilets in Apogee fund. Even better, let's start a legal defense fund to make sure that student votes go our (the alumni's) way and that student fees get maxed out with 50% increases every year.  Maybe a buy out the coaching staff every time our defense gives up a third down conversion fund.  The possibilities are limitless! 

We could (and I believe would be required to) have officers of the fund and could have secret meetings and handshakes and everything.  Maybe even lapel pins and tiny flags to fly from our cars.

Maybe I am mistaken but in the past we had one of the lowest athletic fees in Texas?

 

Not true at all, the P5 are generally low because they don't have to depend on student fees.   Texas St & UTSA are at state max but I am not aware of any other Texas school being higher than the current NT fee.

Is the MGSF solely for scholarships? 

 

I'll hang up and listen... . . .  .  .  .    .    .      .

I filed my taxes today, so will find out in a couple three weeks when I get my refund.  I don't think anybody really knows right now, but that's surely what the name suggests.

It's definitely what it suggests. And I hope it is.

The MGC was always stated as being for scholarships, not general Athletics budget, but it does free up money that would go to scholarships to other things.

Forcing other people to pay for the things you want = OK.

Asking you to help pay for the things you want = Not OK.

 

There is no confusion about the point you are trying to make, it's just (IMHO) an indefensible position.  

He ignores you once, so you go back for a second bite?

Guess what. It’s all a money grab. That’s what college athletics is at the G5 level. Pretty clear that was his point.

But you want to join in the pigeonholing crowd, which a mod should NEVER do.

But there are zero consequences for  ax moderator behavior on here, so...

Oh, and I’ll see y’all later, as the ban will be lowered for questioning the great, bullying Cerebus.

A) There isn't a max fee you can charge. In fact, UTSA just raised their fee to $21 per credit hr. 

B) Houston's is now higher after they increased the fee to help with stadium and renovation of hoffeintz.

New Tax Law applies to 2018 taxes, so we shall see.  Filing this year is same as last year.  And, here's hoping ALL monies do go to scholarships.

Post had nothing to do with taxes, but rather that my refund will pay for my contribution and tickets. When I get it, I plan on asking what the newly named thing is all about.

Scholarhip bill is over $5 million according to the paper. MGSF is at $1 million. So they would have -$4 million to spend elsewhere.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      I'm turning into Scotty after this weekend. The team had broken me.

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.

      yes! 12 seed, 30-win, Will-Wades-been-to-6-straight-postseasons-including-S16, McNeese! Y'all (not necessarily you GJ)! Take off your football glasses. There are incredible programs dwelling in these off-name conferences. We have useful metrics that can validate their quality of ball, regardless of name/conference affiliation.
