This really has nothing--yet something--to do with UNT athletics, so I am posting it here. If mods want to move it, please do.

It is an interactive map showing how money moves from one place to another. Check out Texas, and particularly--check out Denton and Collin counties. It shows that the area in which UNT operates is exploding. It is a graphic illustration of potential audience and $.

That map has problems... there is no way in Hell that Midland county has lost ..... oil industry is booming.. and building everywhere. ..jobs are so many available that they can't get employees for the lack of housing.

Yeah, but where are they SPENDING that money. It appears that people living in Midland county are SPENDING more money in other counties. I believe that's what this is about.

That is only up to 2010 the boom has been mostly past that point. I am sure there is a large reverse the last three years.

Regarding the oil boom, how many of the people working in the oil fields actually live in that area? If you have people staying to work during the week and then going back home somewhere else then the money really isn't staying local, is it?

I guarantee you, a bunch of it is staying in those hotels and motels. Anymore, I make sure to time my drive so I don't have to spend the night anywhere between Fort Worth and El Paso. There is no way I'm paying those modern-day West Texas rates.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
