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.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
