All this million-dollar chit chat is based on one internet post of unknown origin that probably didn't even have to pick all the squares with a bicycle.
It's been a while, but I believe Mattress Mac had been giving money to the program for a few years before he ever gave the million for the practice fields.
And, IIRC, MM had already been falling out with RV and the athletic department in general.
He's not the only big money donor our athletic department has dropped the ball on.
I think the reason we get upset when kids enter the portal is we see them as quitting on our school. The school we love and have attachment to. That love and attachment will never leave. And we take it personally when a kid that got to come to UNT for free leaves and goes somewhere else and they have no loyalty or care about The University of North Texas.
What we have to do is realize not one player on any team we have truly gives a damn about UNT. Especially not at the level we do. So what we have to do is not give a damn about them. Why should we? That's not being negative toward the kids...just look at them objectively.
Give them the same love they give UNT, meaning cheer for them when they're here, hope they help us win, then shitcan them. Good luck at your next stop, who's next?
Makes all this much better to stomach.
