My handful of friends left had no idea this vote was happening until I told them. The standard response of "oh they sent out emails" yeah the AD and every other org on campus sends 30 emails a week, you think people read it?

Thank you. Plus you can unsubscribe to those emails pretty easily.

Can UNT just do what Dallas did several years ago  on a vote to change the name of the old Industrial Blvd along the Trinity River.  New development along that area wanted to change the name of the street to Riverfront Blvd.  Dallas had a vote with a variety of names submitted.  A certain group rallied hard, and the name that won was Cesar Chavez Blvd.  Dallas city leaders, who wanted the name Riverfront Blvd, then just said, well, we are just going to go ahead and name it Riverfront Blvd despite the vote.....  Problem solved.....

 

Vote YES....Vote Early, Vote Often!!!

Fall 2017 enrollment was 38,121.

So if only 100 people voted it would be 0.26%

Every thousand votes therefore would be 2.62%

It's almost close of business for the week and no word of anything. No way this thing got passed or they'd be hoisting these results at the apex of Apogee Iwo Jima style. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*They will probably release the results at 2:30 AM on Monday morning, on the back page of the DRC no one reads, in grey ink, in 2-font.

Or, everyone has to wait until the SGA releases the voting results since this is their thing, and no one knows anything yet until it's released.

Or, athletic department personnel had their eye on how things were going. And I would imagine that the athletic department would be giddy as hell to get good news out to the public.

Again, how?   If word comes out that the Athletic Department was able to see voting results in real-time, you'd better believe that will be grounds for some kind of appeal/nullification, and it will be a VERY VALID reason.

I really hope they don't.   I'm betting they're eagerly awaiting the results just like the rest of us.

When people are saying, "I talked to <such-and-such> in the AD, and they said they 'feel good' about the vote" ...  That doesn't mean that person is watching voting results coming in.   
What the heck is someone in the AD supposed so say?  "Naw man, I don't think it's gonna make it."    They don't know.
