Actually, I didn't think it was that bad. A couple mistakes, the fee will be $10, not $7. And no, the UT Board of Regents won't have a say in it, I'm sure she meant UNT BOR.

It seemed the real "story" here was the opposition, which isn't doing well in getting supporters.

She made it sound as if there was significant opposition.

A fair and balanced report would have also mentioned the amount of support for the stadium.

Channel 4 just had a stadium story on their 9pm news. I only saw the last bit of it but there was a new stadium image on the background while they showed $ figures students will be voting on.

Does this shock you? It doesn't me. The news is basically negative and bad news. If there is negative angle to something, they will probably run with it.

Of Course they do... That's how they win Emmy's. I've never seen an Emmy given for a feel good story that didn't push an agenda...

I loved how in it went right from SBP Kline mentioning that current students wouldn't be asked to pay for something they wouldn't use to an ignorant non-supporter complaining about paying for something she wouldn't use......

And unless she's a first semester freshman, she probably wouldn't be asked to pay for it ever.

If the increase goes into effect after 2001, many current students won't be asked to help. At least not when they sign up for classes.

Vote Yes. Vote Green

Funny that that story would follow a Honda commercial that DFW drivers want more "green." I want a LEED Green stadium.

Isn't a $10 fee replacing a $3 fee the same as a $7 increase. Instead of being critical we should be happy to be getting local sports coverage.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      I think it has very little to do with what you're implying, but rather the Belt schools being a cheaper option due to the AAC having to disintegrate before individual entities cut 27M checks. Given the schools that are in the PAC they will be placed just fine in this hierarchy. Also, the Belt is a much better conference than we were in it.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Are we assuming a school has to have $27M cash on hand in order to make a more? Not sure that's the case. It's never clear how much really exchanges hands. Did Marshall, Southern Miss and Old Dominion ever pay the full amount to CUSA when they bolted early? It seems that once a school and conference have accepted that separation is a fait accompli, they work something out. Pay over time, give up distributions, negotiate a reduction, etc. Either way, it's probably financed anyway.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Interesting questions. I wonder...and this is not meant to disparage any school or conference, but I wonder from a purely perception perspective if some of the hesitancy (if that's what it is), is due to elevating a SBC school over other options? Historically, there has been a hierarchy or pecking order when it comes to schools moving up the conference food chain. Usually, the raiding conference looks to those schools in the adjacent conference (one level below) for replacements. SBC plucks from FCS, CUSA plucks from SBC, AAC plucks from CUSA, B12 plucks from AAC and so on. If the new PAC is somewhere between AAC and P4 and they need to dip down 3 levels to the SBC for a replacement what does that say about their placement in the hierarchy of college athletic conferences? Again, I'm not bashing Texas St or the SBC, I'm just thinking about the psychology of this and the egos involved. I think the overall perception of the conference hierarchy is still out there especially for those that don't follow the moves closely. Separating the SEC and B1G on the top level, the new PAC (certainly WSU and OSU) desperately want to be seen as on the same level as the Big12 and ACC. If their only choice is to elevate a SBC school (and let's face it, a relative newcomer on the scene), then it may be perceived as weakness (fairly or unfairly) and prima facie evidence that they are no longer peers with the B12 and ACC, but with the AAC and MWC.
