DENTON - The ballot for the 2018 North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame class has been set, and voting will begin on April 1.

Voting for the Hall of Fame is exclusively for dues-paying members of the North Texas Letterwinners Association, members of the North Texas Hall of Fame, and members of the North Texas Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Qualified voters may vote for a maximum of six nominees, and each qualified voter may submit only one ballot.

This is the first year for voting by members of the NTLA or by members of the Hall of Fame. Previously, the selection was made by the North Texas Hall of Fame Selection Committee, which is made up of 10 individuals with strong ties to UNT (including multiple Hall of Fame members) who have been designated by the athletic department. The Committee, after considering all nominees submitted by NTLA members and Mean Green fans, set the ballot for this year's Hall of Fame voting.

Voting will be conducted online or by paper ballot, and will conclude on April 15. The online ballot and the printable ballot will be on the Letterwinners Association's website, MeanGreenForLife.com beginning Sunday, April 1.

I agree with Spika, but Rust was successful with Mitchell's players. He was not as successful recruiting and that led to his moving on. 

Really, same argument.  You might want to check who was recruited by Mitchell and who by Rust.  Even if every player was recruited by someone else, would having the best football team at NT not be HOF worthy.  

I guess NT should also retract Blakeley's HOF because all his great teams were primarily inherited.  Yes he recruited Weasel, but Rust recruiting one first round draft choice, Dunlap plus many others that were  contributors.

I was very aware of Coach Rust's time at NT.  He worked very closely with a family member.  Extremely nice man.

      Oh, make no mistake, if my current employer can't get close then I am gone.

      Men's Golf at AAC Championship

      Currently tied for eight with ECU after round one at +6. The leaders are at -3. The good news is that Tucker Allen is tied for first in the medalist race at -4. Our 3-5 players need to step up. I found it interesting that Diego Prone, our best returning player, didn't play the opening round.

      Lost 4-1 to USF. Not a bad first year under a new coach.

      We return the following guards: 5'9" So. Breanna Davis: Only played in 13 games (Daughter of Chris Davis) 5'8" So. Ereauna Hardaway: Started at PG. Good floor manager but doesn't score much. 5'8" R-Fr Desiree Wooten: Has the potential to be very good. 5'11" R-Fr Jahcelyn Hartfield: Only played in 7 games coming off an injured freshman year. 5'11" Fr. Shadasia Brackens: Played in 21 games. Incredible athlete that has the potential to be great. Brackens is listed as a G/F. Hartfield, with her height, could also play F. Brannon shot 40% from 3 this past year and provides experience this team needs since we lost Sham Duncan, J Moore, D Robinson and M Clearly from the backcourt.

      You are the exception to the rule. No judgment here but for 99% of people if they can 3x their income they are absolutely going to do it. Most younger folks in my profession will jump at even marginal increases. Some of these kids are not going to be playing professional football so if they can get a free education and pocket 100-300k with their degree then they are absolutely entitled and should be encouraged to do so.
