FWIW, Bill Lively is a Dallasite who is quite well known to be more connected with SMU than he has ever been with NT; albeit that he got a post grad degree at our main campus. Seems if they get a degree from both SMU and NT, that special demographic of Metroplex alums always seem to gravitate most of their interest (and money) toward the Hilltop.

I would think there woud have been a dozen or more with an NT degree (or 2) who would have been a much better choice than Bill Lively and starting with Ken Murphy or Weatherford's Jerry Durant would not have been bad choices at all. I don't think I saw either of their names on that list.

Probably a bit too melodramatic by saying this, but I curse the day NORTH TEXAS took on the south Dallas county campus project especially with our school's limited financial endowment and resources. UNT-Dallas will further prove to be one helluva' money-drainer from our main campus and I have hopes (above all hope) that it doesn't prevent NT from building the single most important venue at Eagle Point Campus that will benefit every person who has ever been connected with the University of North Texas. Just my two cents...
