As you may know, the UNT Student bookstore is being taken over by Barnes and Noble in July -- this will also factor in for the UNT gear store located in Apogee stadium.

As such, the UNT Student Bookstore in the student union on campus is giving some BIG discounts... like 75%.

This has been going on for at least a week or so, so buyer beware - it could be pretty picked over by now...

But if you are in the area and have a little time it might be worthwhile to pay them a visit. I am not sure of their hours etc...so check ahead if you can.

If you want the crappy quality TM or Lance Dunbar Jerseys.... THEY HAVE A BOAT LOAD OF THEM FOR YOU!!!!

I got a really nice Ping UNT golf shirt last Saturday when it was only 50% off, but It was the only thing that really caught my eye.

Yale has a Barnes and Noble bookstore. They're huge, luxurious and have tons of apparel. This is FANTASTIC for the university.

Voertmann's being sold is rather worrisome, although the store looks like crap as of recent. Hope that it doesn't go away. I love that place.

I asked management at Voertmans two Fridays ago about this and they said nothing other than ownership is changing and that they are keeping the name as well.

They fired everyone I knew that worked there. Most of them have been working there since it was bought out the first time.

So Voertman's, going, going gone. UNT Bookstore about to become a member of those stalwarts of business, Barnes & Noble. Great things are afoot in Denton!

Hey, maybe the corporate folks can figure out that they need to have a jersey available for the university's best basketball player before the last 10 or 12 games of said player's career.

Just sayin..,

Or that a cheap-ass tank top with piping around the sleeves and neck does not a jersey make.

NT switching to B&N has everything to do with the Union remodel/expansion. I expect once the bookstore remodel is finished it is going to be an awesome place to shop.

I hope Voertman's keeps the name at least. It has been a Denton and UNT icon for almost a century and Paul Voertman has been a benefactor to the University. Does anyone remember Pender's drugstore on campus that sold music supplies and old fashion fountain drinks?

Sometimes I agree with Kurt Vonnegut's assessment that all change is bad (I think he said that).

Perhaps it wasn't Vonnegut. At least I can't find it anywhere.

Yes, this August. Halfway through August. They started it in May.

It's a temporary building, kind of, while they build the new one as part of the Union. But the building will remain as a UNT fan store.

The manager at the bookstore confused me. Thought McConnell was keeping it.

That explains it. Thanks.

All of us don't live in Denton and dobt get to see changes on campus that often.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      80,000 fans aren't necessarily the ones footing the bill for NIL, though. The issue with this current model is nobody could go to the games and nobody could watch on TV but player salaries would still be funded by big money boosters. There's no correlation between a team's revenue, or the sport's revenue as a whole, and player salaries/NIL deals. The NFL doesn't work this way. When overall viewership goes up, media deals gain value which increases media distribution to the franchises and raises salary caps with it when new media deals are signed. NFL teams are required to spend 89% of the salary cap over a 4 year span or pay the difference to their players because that money comes from media deals. The teams make most of their money from ticket sales, merchandise sales, and such but those don't pay salaries like they might in the MLB or even NBA which allows for a luxury tax when exceeding the salary cap. For the NCAA to follow a similar model where wins and losses don't matter to "school" salary pools (insane to type), you'd need an NCAA-wide media deal that pays all schools the same and a salary cap that is the same across the board determined by that media deal. I doubt it'll ever happen. We'd be right back at boosters paying players under the table. It's going to have to start with boosters getting spending fatigue to spark change.

      Athletics site shows no more Bowl tickets available?

      https://www.firstresponderbowl.com/tickets/#Fan-Tickets We may have sold out of our allotment, but their website still shows ticket availability.

      Fun bowl games, not quite so fun playoff games. Maybe there's still something to be said for the bowl games after all.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      It will take some time for the fans of these schools to adjust to losing a few games a year when they're in the new "P2" consisting of maybe 40 teams max. However, filling an average 80k stadium for maybe 20 games/wk is only about 1.5M people demanding tickets for each week's game. Out of over 300M people, I suspect they can still keep filling the stands, other than the few days of "dud" games or bad weather. Now, I'm not sure about TV ratings, but there's so many T-shirt fans of these top 40 schools that I think they'll still watch. I hope this greed and the extreme powering of the top few schools ends up biting them in the a$$, but I'm afraid they'll be successful. I don't mind them breaking away, I just wish they'd be forced to give up any relation to the school. Go create a stand-alone semi-pro league independent of the universities. I haven't followed pro sports in decades, but my quick check shows the Cowboys have been varying between 6-9 and 13-3 for the past 20 years with minimal playoff success but from what I hear, they have plenty of demand for tickets, even when they suck. I realize they are a somewhat special team, but then again, so are these P2 teams, so I think the comparison is reasonably legit.

      Lot of fun bowl games so far. Toledo vs Pitt last night was incredible. This was another great game as well.
