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 filed, requested or planned for the upcoming season, and 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 over 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.

Yes,….all effing day.
Now, they know how tuff of a team we really have, winning in Stoolwater where it was 5 on 7. We beat Ok State, the refs,….and the North Texas Administration.

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.
