I keep seeing them throw out the combined endowment numbers as if the athletic program will get to touch any of the UT Health SA money. 

Or any other part of the university. They have a great medical school now which will likely help years down the road with more alumni with lots of cash. But right now the rest of the university is still subpar with a lot of first generation college students. That’s not changing anytime soon.

Yeah which is why I keep wishing we could try to merge with TWU.

Its been discussed in the past. It would be A LOT more complicated since UNT and TWU are their own university systems. The UTSA and UT Health merger is just the UT System deciding to merge a medical school into one of their universities.

It was discussed in the past with NT/TWU because it would save the State million$ in reducing duplicate administration, classes, infrastructure, etc only 8 miles apart.   But because it's a "Women's" university (so-called, but men attend too) it won't be touched by the Legislature, otherwise gender equality may be endangered.   Do think if there was a Men's University it would still be called as such?

There WAS a men's university: A&M.  But, no, it wasn't called as such,  and it no longer has that reputation,  unlike TWU.

I got accepted to A$M.  They had started admitting women in the mid-60's, but by the mid-70's there were still very few on campus...so I went elsewhere.  I found love in Denton instead, lol.

I've met more guys from TWU than women. The name is the only barrier there

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
