What an absolute failure on the AD’s part. Don’t want to hear any excuses. Figure it out. So freaking embarrassing how unserious this athletic department is.    Let me go ahead and respond for

A very North Texas thing to do 😆. Time for UNT to realize it is a basketball school. Build a legit basketball arena and become an elite mid major.

If the team didn’t lose to utsa and temple and or won the tournament, it wouldn’t have mattered. Scheduling for NIT should never be the goal

How hard did you really try? We know the work ethic out of the Admin side of the AD Office.

“We worked with campus to explore alternative venues but, for a number of reasons, weren’t able to find another suitable venue for so many attendees,” UNT athletic director Jared Mosley told Vito.

Just how many are we talking?  SURELY there is a place SOMEWHERE on campus that could host that many people.  Been this way for 50+ years.

UAB's fan forum has some thoughts on our luncheon-gate...

This is mind boggling.

I bet Hodge is livid.

When did their ADs brain turn to Brandon-style applesauce?

That said, OK State winning would probably be good for us in that they are not as good as UNT. And it would be at a neutral site,Right?
Kenpom 93 versus 71.
Anything to increase the odds of us not playing a 4th time again...

Sadly, or fortunately, they have no idea the true reason.  Which is much worse than just a simple mistake by the AD department.  A single mistake by the AD would have almost been acceptable.

Uh oh Rick knows something, and it sounds like someone at the top decided against exploring reasonable options.

I think it's simply a given that NO effort was put into this, including attempting to explore other options.

I had management for the majority of my career that were exactly this way.  They would do whatever required the least amount of effort and more importantly, would result in the least amount of pushback from the most vocal folks.  This while they were spewing BS about how much they cared about the employees.

Another, equally awful idea is, that the people running the facility are so far off the sports radar - just generally don't give 0.02 about sports -  that they have no read on the basketball team(s) and the accompanying success.  No clue that a crowd of people would be chomping at the bit to see the team play another basketball game, and angry that a luncheon gets priority.

No, my point being University-wide apathy.  That’s worse than just a scheduling Uh-Oh by the AD.  University-wide Apathy is what caused this.  

If you, or me, or FlyOnTheWall or Harry, SUMG or…fill in the blank_____________ bleeding-green-alum were in on decision making, we’d had made sure last April, last May, June, July, August, whenever the schedules are planned for the upcoming season, we would have made damn sure tournament time in March for the SP is kept open, or flexible.  It would keep us up at night after we were off the clock, making us sick, stewing about it till we got it right.  And if we were told no, we would go up the chain till we found a YES.

Instead, the university , not simply the AD,…told the entire college basketball watching world that The University Of North Texas does not care about athletics, and told our teams and our donating alumni to go pound sand.

      Solution. Build a state of the art 6,000 seat arena prioritized for athletics on the Frisco campus and get sports city USA, Frisco involved. Frisco is ripe to turn Mean Green. That city will embrace family entertainment and fun things to do across the year. At the watch party at Wings Over Frisco I swear some of the tables were made up of UNT Frisco students. They were scooping up the pennants and cooling towels couldn’t believe they were free. It was so cool to see students excited to rep their University. All you need to do is replace 4,500 Denton diehards with 5,000 Frisco family residents, students, and the same traveling alumni. Who do we lose the Denton campus students. It would suck on that front but you could get 5,000 regulars in Frisco in a 6,000 seat arena with some crafty marketing to a hungry city environment. Make UNT basketball Frisco’s team. Radical yea. Deserved yea. Prioritized absolutely. GMG
