    Denton has always been a divided college town because of TWU.  Some businesses back in the 70's era declined to show support for NT Athletics saying they didn't want to hurt TWU student's feelings.  For real.  The easy solution back then, and still today, was actually considered several times even at the State level was to merge TWU into UNT, a larger, better single University with east and west campuses.  Why duplicate two State Universities, 6 miles apart?

    You are absolutely right, the merger makes so much sense.  I have heard that it is to protect the woman’s right to have a primarily female institution.  My thinking is it is the administrators and the board of TWU that keeps it going.  They know in a merger many of their jobs will become duplicative.  I think the Governor has the ability to make things like this happen but who wants the political liability.

    one thing that may help move by change is schools like University of Phoenix offering a 1 year remote Masters degree.  I sense post Covid that there will be many who start to look at the fastest and cheapest way to get the piece of paper or even pursue more trade schools.

    The North Texas Mean Green were dominant in C-USA play this season. They won the C-USA Tournament last season, and the Mean Green are expected to do so yet again this year.

    North Texas were 16-2 in conference play this season and are set as the +170 betting choice to win the C-USA Tournament. The Mean Green are 5-2 against the spread over their past seven games.

    Jilted Judy.   Typical immovable, reactionary C-USA leadership.

    Why would people here want to hold the SBC-bound schools' feet to the fire?   If the roles were reversed and NT/UAB/UTSA/Rice/Charlotte/FAU were all trying to get to the AAC early, wouldn't we want to be able to negotiate out?

    Agree but they did sign a contract and should have to pay the penalties if they are bailing on us early?
