DALLAS — University of North Texas System Chancellor Lee Jackson will remain in the position until at least 2017, after the university’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a contract extension Friday.

The action shows the board’s continued confidence in Jackson, despite the financial challenges the system and the flagship campus in Denton are still facing, chairman Brint Ryan said.

“I personally have found him to be a very capable leader, and he’s following the direction of the board and all of the new things that we want to do to change the system, to change UNT to make it better,” Ryan said after the vote.

Then the entire BOR should be fired since they all voted for the extension. He has done nothing he was touted for when he was hired.

Jackson will be here until Perry goes.

This decision is totally asinine. It again demonstrates why NT will continue to struggle. A political hire who has done an horrible job and has presided over the biggest scandal in NT history and yet the bunch of puppets in the BOR wants more.

BOR appointed by governor.

Chancellor appointed by governor.

See a pattern?

If Wendy Davis was a UNT grad, I might just vote for her. That should tell you something.

      A home softball game probably averages 500 fans, more for bigger teams. Similar for soccer. I think baseball would attract more, and the AAC is a quality league. Say 1000 attend. That's 1000 more per contest than attend golf, swimming, or track events. Those fans and alums are potential donors, and potential sponsors for advertising, or other sports attendance. Anything to get an alum back on campus supporting the school is a positive. The non-rev sports? Why do we even fund them or need them? Title IX? Check the sports offerings at schools with baseball and Title IX is not a consideration. I say re-allocate resources to revenue sports.

      Around the AAC (11/25/2024)

      at least we're likely get to see what Vice has against Memphis once these Tiger bigs foul Sissoko out by the under 12 timeout.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      UIW....no one cares! None of this made him the most qualified candidate to be the head coach at UNT, but here we are. We've regressed significantly under his leadership. He has had no role in developing Rogers or Morris. They were already proven and developed by others. It's not like he discovered a QB no one ever heard of. And for all his ability to identify QB talent, he picked the wrong one for the first two games last year. He is incredibly lucky that Morris ended up here this year. If he's not our QB this season, we'd probably be 1-10 instead of 5-6. Fortunately SMU left the conference and we got to play both Tulsa and Temple twice these last two seasons. He's 0-2 against Vito's "premier rival" and now has us sitting at #97. We took a risk with this hire and it's blown up in our face.

      Honest tactical question here…

      This also roughly coincides with the explosion of the popularity of 7on7 football. BTW, here's an interesting article on it with a lot of local ties: https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/how-seven-on-seven-turned-texas-into-a-quarterback-factory/

      Very few people care about it anywhere. I'm glad when our ladies win, but WBB matters about a third of what MBB matters, and MBB matters about a third of what football matters. Not sure why this thread had to turn into an embarrassing attempt to troll a troll.
