This is a perfect example of what's wrong with this school. Recman represents the thoughts of the majority of student body and Daddy Dumpsalot represents the thoughts of the majority of alum. Look, it all boils down to money. We would have a baseball team if it were free. I would like a Corvette, but I can't just walk into my garage and make it magically appear - it costs money (apparantly we need to make Economics a mandatory class at UNT). How are we going to get that money, you ask? From both of you! Recman, rather than bitch about an insignificant tuition increase, accept it knowing that it will better your school. Daddy, rather than using the lame excuse that you have no reason to donate is absolutely ridiculous. If you were that adament about seeing UNT improve, you would do something about it. If this school is going to go where we all want it to (i.e. Boise St), it's going to take effort from both students and alum. The main problem with UNT students and alum is not that we are/were all commuters and were never really connected with the campus - look at all the support the "Save Fry Street" group has gotten. It drives me crazy that more people have shown support to save Fry Street than we have ever had at football or basketball game. As a group, both students and alum, simply do not support our athletic programs. Don't blame RV, don't blame the AD, blame yourself.
