Fun Hypothetical- Multi-use Dome for UNT Athletics

[Mike Jackson]

I just wanted to interject a distracting fun hypothetical to take our attention away from the dumpster fire that Mean Green Football appears to be.  (It may not help but it is worth a try).  
 

Scenario:  UNT gets a billionaire supporter committed to make an endowment that fully fund a state of the art energy efficient dome stadium 42k capacity for football or soccer.  The fund would cover 100% of construction and maintenance for 20 years including the gear that switches playing surfaces.   Either you accept stadium endowment or  35% of the value endowment paid over 10 years.    There would be no stipulations on how you use the 35%.  You could use it to start up baseball, men’s soccer, and probably women’s gymnastics most likely if you started another male sport (title 9 compliance).   Or you could use it for whatever the NCAA allows.    Which would you chose and why?
