MGSF Announces UNiTe Initiative

[Coach Andy Mac]

DENTON – The Mean Green Scholarship Fund has announced the release of the UNiTe Initiative. The UNiTe Initiative is a 5-year strategic plan to achieve 5,000 MGSF members and raise $5,000,000 annually by 2026.

The goal of the Mean Green Scholarship Fund is to help offset the annual cost of student-athlete scholarships in an effort to allow the North Texas athletic department to use those funds to improve the overall experience for UNT student-athletes in other areas such as facilities, equipment, nutrition, and travel.

The support of over 1,000 MGSF donors currently assists more than 350 UNT student-athletes cover some of the costs associated with attending the University of North Texas. This support is critical in order to provide student-athletes with the necessary resources to compete nationally and within Conference USA. In 2020, North Texas Athletics' expense for student-athlete scholarships reached more than $6.3 million.

Please consider making a gift to the Mean Green Scholarship Fund today and help UNT to UNiTe North Texas.

Just what the Supreme Court needs to be involved with at this time.

It's up next on the docket.   You gotta take the cases on the schedule.   
Problem though, is that it appears there is unanimous support from all justices on this one.

Players should be given the option, get paid or get a full ride, but not both.

My only problem with it is that the thinking is directly around football & basketball monies.   It's not really considering the money drains all of the olympic sports are...   but you'd better believe that if football/basketball players get paid, there are going to be Title 9 lawsuits filed for women's equestrian teams to have the same funds.

Everyone who is capable, needs to give to this. We must up our donor base and increase our dollars going to the program. If we had the majority of our alums give a mere $1,000.00 this would go a long, long ways toward the master / strategic plan.

I would argue putting a little skin in the game enhances the sporting experience! GMG

All jokes aside, $1,000 is a lot of money for many people. I think that's a difficult ask especially considering the current student loan climate. UNT is cheap, but it ain't that cheap

This right here. Supporting the athletic programs is a must. Idk about $1000, but giving any extra cash would be great if we want to continue and eventually ascend to the next level
