This is great news...I love it! But, am wondering just how much continuing and life-long connection to UNT these students are going to develop? If students take the vast majority of their courses at this campus and on-line are we building "connections" and active alumni? I just have to wonder.

And, how much of a financial drain is this campus going to be and for how long on the main campus? 

Hopefully, all the above has been duly considered.  Press on UNT...congrats...make it happen!

The Frisco campus is ahead of projections, so I think it is going to turn out to be a big winner. It is interesting to see how a project can really take off when a city has a vision and works as a partner with a University.

As far as resource drains I would throw out that Denton is shouldering a lot of the cost for things like UNTD the soon to be NAIA powerhouse 😏

Yes, and why UNT is paying expenses, such as for electricity, for UNT Dallas is beyond my scope of imagination.  UNT-Dallas IS NOT part of UNT. It is part of the UNT System.  If it can't pay its own bills is it UNT-Denton's responsibility to bail them out? Why drain UNT-Denton of recourses to support a completely different university? Very puzzling...maybe we should look to Royce West for answers.

I came in late on the news last night but did I hear them say they would have a basketball team?

Not the Frisco campus...but the UNT-Dallas folks will.
