I bet it reveals the design of the new union. That's the next big project on campus.

I'll be surprised if it's anything other than a roadmap for achieving the requirements for Tier 1 status. Though if it is a good and workable plan to do so, that is certainly something worthwhile to have.

I used to be a lot more concerned about NT's dismal status in football than about the academic reputation. I really studied the academic rankings this year as I have a HS senior. We are in much worse shape from that perspective. Of course I have also recognized the connection between the two and I believe the sports competition is one way of generating interest that can open pathways to increasing the endowment.

A few years ago I tried matching my support to athletics with equal donation to academics. It was painful and I hate to say there is once again imbalance. However, that should be a goal for any supporter of NT's sports programs. I am sure many though are even exceeding such a goal and I hope to get there too.

I hope this looks right on paper, because I AM a supporter and green to the bone.

I would be more apt to show up to celebrate an accomplishment than to show up to hear how we intend to accomplish something.

We are now "Texas A&M University - North".

Update: Hey it was a joke.. a joke. No need to ruin my sterling reputation.

That's so great. My mom taught at IU when I was a kid and their union (largest in nation) did wonders for their campus life. It will do a lot for the university to have something like that, and it will be a selling point for recruits.

That's absolutely true. The Student Union was about the only redeeming quality of being on campus when I was in college, and it was righteous. The UNT union as it currently exists, is just not comfortable. There's nowhere to sit, it's dark, the food offerings are questionable. They sent out several surveys to us when developing the plans, and I think they are really taking it seriously.

Of course they're taking it seriously. Apogee is amazing. The business building is amazing. Both far, far exceeded my expectations, and I was really glad to get to play in the business building for a semester.

To me, the current Union is pretty decent. My frame of reference is the PREVIOUS Union which was still in operation when I first set foot on the NTSU campus in the early 1970s. The facilities bar has obviously been raised even higher.

When I was there, the bar for the Union was the Rock Bottom Lounge. I remember it being pretty low.
