Good job Brandin and DT! I may not be a big spender, but I am sure the guys who are donating for those scholarships apreciate you guys taking advantage of that opporunity. The mean green population is proud of you.

Big Congrats to all the Mean Greeners who have already snagged a degree with eligibility left... that's a much bigger accomplishment than what happens on the field

[Travis]

I have two!

SCOREBOARD!

congrats on your ONE degree...

...and Ryan Boutwell who also graduated early. Huge feat in my opinion and special kudos to these players parents who help prioritize academics in these young men from an early age.

Congrats to all 3 young men!

I have four! SCOREBOARD one upmanship! Ha!

Seriously...congrats to all our student-athletes who complete their degrees on time and or early! Great job...also, think we should acknowledge those, such as the Mean Green's own, Kenny Lyons, who came back and completed his degree. Anyone who has returned to either complete a degree or pick up a second knows how challenging that can be...life does seem to get in the way at times. I am super proud of all our student-athletes in all our sports who complete their degrees!

Congrats one and all...super job for these guys to get their degrees early!

from where?

[KRAM1]

from where?

BS- UNT

MS- OSU

MS- UCM

MBA - UNT

Also attended U of MO, but no degree from there.

These travels do add a bit of perspective to this "everyone always does things this way or that way except UNT" discussion as well. Varied experiences will do that for ya most the time. Am a life member of all the university alumni associations associated with the schools from which I graduated, donate to all and participate in athletic and academic events through all three whenever possible. Not so much U of Mo as I have too short a connection with U of Mo. But, my heart remains and always will with UNT and the Mean Green. UNT trumps them all...big time for me!

sure did

Since most of our student-athletes will be professional non-athletes, this is great for students and the University.

Congrats to all three of these guys! Love it when I see these guys on scholarships take advantage of them and even get a little masters money on top of it.
