Football team to scrimmage today

DENTON – The football team will have its first scrimmage at 8:30 a.m. today at C.H. Collins Athletic Complex, a facility owned by the Denton Independent School District.

UNT moved the workout to C.H. Collins because new turf at Fouts Field is in the final stages of construction.

Sophomore linebacker Brandon Monroe, sophomore defensive end Jeremiah Chapman and redshirt freshman defensive lineman Issac Thomas are expected to miss the workout with injuries.

Junior tight end Ronald Hull separated his shoulder in practice Thursday and is expected to be out several weeks.

Briefly ...

The board of regents approved one-year contract extensions for football coach Darrell Dickey and athletic director Rick Villarreal on Friday. Dickey's deal was extended to Dec. 31, 2009, and a provision added that would result in a $100,000 payment if he serves the entire length of the deal. Villarreal's contract was extended to May 31, 2010. His deal includes raises of $15,000 on Sept. 1 and June 1, 2007. Villarreal's buyout provision was modified under the deal to include a retention payment of $50,000 if he remains at UNT for the duration of the contract.
