DENTON, Texas – Matt Carson has been named UNT’s new Senior Associate AD for Revenue Generation & Ticket Strategy, Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker announced Tuesday.
Carson comes to North Texas following a four-year stint as Assistant AD for Ticket Sales and Operations at Colorado State. While in Fort Collins, Carson had oversight of a unit that generated more that 11 million dollars annually in football ticket and premium sales. Since his arrival in 2017, his team also increased men’s basketball season ticket revenues by 167 percent. Additionally, Colorado State posted three of the four highest football ticket revenue years in program history.
In 2021-22, the Rams set a school record with five basketball sellouts and set single-game and student attendance records in football, volleyball, and men’s basketball including a record year for men’s basketball season and single-game revenues.
His team managed service and sales for premium seating with the Ram Club including new sales, upgrades, single-game sales, and service of customer needs. Under his leadership, CSU introduced new initiatives including Kickoff Time Guarantee, flexible ticket and season options along with extended in-season payment plans.
Carson was also a member of the Colorado State senior leadership team and secondary sport administrator for track and field, women’s basketball and volleyball.
Prior to his time at CSU, Carson served as Assistant AD of Ticketing Sales and Operations at Texas State from 2014-18. During that time, he was the project manager for their ticketing system conversion, plus he supervised and trained a staff of more than 50 full-time or student workers all while helping the department gross $2.1 million in revenues in the 2017-18 calendar year.
From 2012-14, he worked in a similar capacity at Sam Houston State. While in Huntsville, he oversaw a department which generated nearly $1 million in revenue for its six ticketed sports.
A native of Alma, Arkansas, Carson is married to the former Trevlyn Trevino. He graduated from Arkansas State in 2007 and earned a master’s from Texas in 2009. After graduation, he completed internships with Texas and Wisconsin.

On a summer day in 1964 George Brown drove Charles “Chuck” Beatty to North Texas State University in Denton.
It was an important ride for two reasons. For one, it was out of necessity.
“I was recruited, but I didn’t have a way to get to Denton,” Beatty said. “So George stopped what he was doing, picked me up and took me to college.”
But that ride was important for another reason. It was then that Beatty told Brown, a former mayor and longtime councilman in Waxahachie, that he would one day return to Waxahachie and give back, much like Brown did.
“He was one of my heroes,” Beatty said, adding that Brown was a World War II hero at the Battle of the Bulge and then returned to serve Waxahachie. “So I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I said when I come back I’m going to give back like he did.”
Beatty lived up to his promise, and Monday the city of Waxahachie recognized him for his service to the city.
The Waxahachie City Council approved a resolution to name the new City Hall Annex Building the Charles Beatty Municipal Services Building. The building is being constructed across from City Hall and will house several of the city’s departments.
But just as important to many, it will also bear his name.
“To me this is gratifying that the people of Waxahachie would consider me to have my name on the building,” Beatty said after the meeting. “Everything that I did was a labor of love and not for an honor.”Beatty graduated from Waxahachie High School in 1964 and then attended North Texas State University – now the University of North Texas. He was then drafted to play in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers and later played for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he also served in the U.S. Army National Guard.

SAN ANTONIO — UT-San Antonio football coach Jeff Traylor shared an extraordinary statistic during his press conference Monday at the Texas High School Coaches Association’s Convention and Coaching School.
“We signed 29 kids. They were all Texas high school football players,” Traylor said. “I believe that we’re the only school that is 100%.”
At a time when college coaches are using the transfer portal to fill more and more holes in their rosters, Traylor and new Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire have a unique advantage when it comes to recruiting. They were high school football coaches in talent-rich Texas before they got their current college jobs, with McGuire winning three state championships at Cedar Hill and Traylor winning the same number of state titles at Gilmer.
“It’s huge, just from the standpoint of guys my age, they know me,” McGuire said. “We opened our doors at Cedar Hill. I was there 20 years, 14 as the head coach. People would come watch our offseason, people would come watch spring football. We treated everybody the exact same. I think because we did that, whenever we came [to Texas Tech], people know this is how they are going to treat our players, this is how Coach McGuire is going to be every day.”

DENTON, Texas – Nominees for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year award were announced on Thursday, and the University of North Texas nominee is women's golfer Audrey Tan.
Tan, who has become one of the two most decorated golfers in program history, is about to begin her fifth year in Denton as the program's career stroke average leader (73.70) and owner of the second- and third-best single-season stroke averages in program history. She is also the program's only individual conference champion after winning the 2021 Conference USA title and has led the team to back-to-back team C-USA championships - the first two team conference championships in program history. She is the program record holder for lowest 54-hole score (207, accomplished in back-to-back tournaments to close the 2020-21 season at the Conference USA Championship and Let Them Play Classic) and single-season birdies (93). She also ended the 2021-22 season ranked No. 1 nationally in Golfstat's average putts per round rankings (29.57). She is a three-time all-Conference USA selection and has been named C-USA Golfer of the Week six times in her career.
Tan graduated in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Finance with a cumulative GPA of 3.94 after coming to UNT as a 16-year-old freshman from across the globe. She has earned Conference USA Honor Roll status all four years, UNT President's List all four years and earned WGCA All-American Scholar status every year she has been eligible.
This year, she was selected to represent the athletic department as part of an Amazon Prime series called "The College Tour," when it filmed an episode about UNT. She has done charitable work for Serve Denton and Salvation Army, among others, locally while also serving her community back home in Malaysia.
The Woman of the Year award, in its 32nd year of existence, spans NCAA Division I, Division II and Division III, and the average GPA of its nominees this year is a 3.8. The four pillars of the Woman of the Year award are academics, athletics, service and leadership.
"It is very exciting to see Audrey nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award," UNT head coach Michael Akers said. "She has all the qualities that the NCAA is looking for in a student-athlete. I have watched her grow so much over the past four years. She was only 16 years old when she arrived on campus as a freshman. She has grown into a leader. Her attitude, body language and self-talk has improved dramatically. Not only has she been incredible on the golf course but her grades are outstanding as well. I have witnessed her taking the time to talk to young girls and even sign autographs. I am thrilled that Audrey is continuing her education at UNT and will represent our program for an additional year."
