I'm sorry we neglected to include UNT in our regional roundup Sunday. Our college sports editor, Jamie Hancock, has alerted the appropriate people on our production staff to ensure we include coverage of the Mean Green when the game ends before our deadline, which was not an issue in this case with a 1 p.m. start.
 
Please accept our apologies, and thank you for reading and subscribing to The Dallas Morning News.

It is a B.S. response, but there you go.  I think if they felt enough pressure they might change.

Personally, I think it's a very good response.  Whether or not this leads to actual change remains to be seen, but they have actually taken action.

So they say.  We shall see in a week.

It's a BS response!  You don't forget a D1 school right down the road but remember KU, Baylor, Ok St and other schools 100's of miles away!  They're so sorry about it, they followed up by not adding the summary they missed in today's paper.

In all fairness, Ms. Hancock attended UNC and has only been at the DMN since 2005.  She probably isn't aware of UNT. 🤪

Seems to me one of the 100+ staff members of the UNT Athletic Department should be on top of this kind of crap coming out of Dallas, or wherever.

I got the exact same response word for word from the same person. Won’t make a big difference, but maybe someone will doublecheck next time? And atleast they know someone cares.

If they get five hundred such letters from NT alumni after each game they ignore, they might actually think they're messing up.

Thanks Lifer for making the effort. This is just one of several things we as alumni need to do. Make noise!

they should remember UNT if they can remember KU, Baylor, Ok State

They also probably feel zero pressure from a UNT fanbase.

We need to keep being vocal about these things.  Let them know that we intend to grow as a base, and will let them know they got caught sitting and twiddling their thumbs.

She doesn't care about us. Heck Vito really doesn't give a care about us either really.  No one up there does anymore.  They got bought out.

Agree.  Vito needs put into the Portal!

And this is why it was a B.S. response.  Just copy and paste, no thought or sincerity.

What if the original post was sincere.  Do you want them to reword it for you?

Fans should not have to intervene with the Dallas or Fort Worth Newspapers in something like the lack of coverage of UNT Sports.  Don't we have an Athletic Director that gets paid the big bucks?

I don't blame the AD.  They probably have tried over the years to no avail.  It's probably more about the DRC tuning them out.  Also, I forgot but the DRC I believe is owned by KERA Channel 113 I believe now so new management may be an issue.

At least they responded. While it may be a complete blow off  they are now aware that there are fans following UNT. Thanks for reminding them.
