I know we've had some questionable additions, but Coach Jones definitely deserves to be in our HOF. He resurrected a program that hadn't won much in about 15 years and made it a routine contender in the league we were in, getting to two NCAA tournaments and nearly making it a couple of other times. For many programs that would not be HOF worthy, but for us? Hell yes it is - otherwise we'd have about 30 total people in the HOF.
I think we need to go out and hire a great promotional staff instead of the current people we have in place. The last failed "retro 70's" promotion was just flat out lazy. As some have mentioned on here, good idea with a lot of possibilities but wasted on just sending out an email and giving away 500 shirts that were mostly small and adult large. I'd love some accountability from the university on what efforts have been made to get the greeks and other campus organizations to attend the games. Until we get students attending in large numbers, we won't create active alumni support when they graduate. Look at the football games and how many students party on the hill and don't go in to watch the game. You may have to buy their support for a few years until it becomes the thing to do. Apathy isn't just a UNT problem. It affects lots of other mid majors as well.
