DENTON, Texas – UNT freshman Blake Keen became the first freshman UNT men's golfer to earn a spot on the American Athletic Conference all-conference team in the program's second season as members, the league announced on Tuesday.
Keen tied for fourth individually at last week's conference championship to automatically earn a spot on the team, which consisted of 13 golfers.
The freshman from Burleson, Texas, dealt with injury challenges throughout the season but had several highlights, including firing a 63 at the Everett Buick GMC Classic in October, which tied for the second-best round in program history. He was third on the team in season stroke average (73.58) and one of two players to make the lineup for all 11 of the team's tournaments, along with fellow freshman Alex Huang. Keen had four top-20 finishes and two top-10 showings - a T6 at the Maridoe Intercollegiate and his T4 finish last week when he shot a 67-71-68-206.
"I'm really proud of the way Blake worked all year to achieve All-Conference," head coach Luke Calcatera said. "He has battled injuries and worked really hard to be in the lineup for every tournament we competed at. I have a ton of respect for him and am excited to see his future success."
The Mean Green finished a surprising third as a team in the conference championship last week, and in their second season in the conference now have had two players earn all-conference awards after Tucker Allen made the squad last season following his runner-up finish at the conference championship.-

I would consider beating a Big 10 team and a Big 12 team on the road to be significant wins for our program. (Plus a win over former PAC team).
Been a very long time since our football team has done anything like that and will likely not happen again in football for a very long while.
A standard has been set for the basketball program of 20+ wins, conference contention and postseason success. Really want to maintain that.Totally agree. I have been following both football and basketball for a long time here and football just cannot touch what we have done in basketball the past 7-8 seasons.

Head scratcher honestly. At some point, you have to think that our program should begin to attract higher profiled kids; with our recent success. What was the urgency for this pick up? He seems aggressive on the defensive side of the ball so maybe he will be a ball hawk specialist. Still time and room to finish this out with a new Big 3.
Thank you for sharing your insight @Cooley

Me too. I give up on trying to care about the players anymore. They and their families are just using us.

The only way you can really care about UNT football anymore without getting emotionally devastated is just to not pay attention until the guys report in the summer
This is very true. Following it during the off season is just too painful. Life is too damn short.

More than 4 decades ago Corky Nelson told a meeting that North Texas highest aspiration could only be to become the best of the bottom 100 programs in D- 1 , anything else was delusional. Corky saved football at North Texas with dedicated coaches that could operate on very limited resources. Do not deceive yourself that this program can exist even in FCS form w/o football. Any attempt to drop football will only result to a drop to non scholarship competition. This level of athletics for a school the size of NT would be a disgrace and make us even more the laughingstock of this state
Yeah but that was way back when and we had a chance to compete because money was not in play. With these new NIL rules we are better off focusing on specific sports than trying to be a jack of all trades and master of none.

Is it necessary to be asked ? How about just buying season tickets and the required donation that goes with it ? Here’s a news flash…Your school can use your financial support. The school in your community can use your support even though you’re not an alum. Rather than whine that nobody contacts you, write a check and attend home games.
Are we wrong for wanting to know what our money is being spent on?

That's a big loss for us. Why do we have to lose the entire squad? We couldn't keep one guy?

I love the Easter holiday and what it stands for but I do not need our small AD budget spent on programming time to make these. how many odd non sports related exercises does our admin pay for? Why don’t we spend the money on calling and looking for new donors?

There are very few programs with SMU-level donors.
SMU upgraded their entire roster with championship-caliber starters and valuable backups. I'm not sure that's what is being discussed.
My 0.02: What is a waste are those fringe players: guys that are the third+ option at their position, offering little difference towards winning a title vs. not, and still squeezing disgusting NIL amounts from these P5 donors. The problem is two-fold: 1) these donors are being asked for absurd NIL amounts when it amounts to little-to-no ROI, and 2) the UNTs of the world still can't compete with these offers, so these guys that are normally starting at G5 schools are riding the P5 bench and the quality of play at our level is diminished/sucked dry.They SMU are doing it to remove players we could have help us. They do it to spite us. This was also done in the 60s I believe when there were no roster limits.

i am so d.g.a.f. about all this anymore. I refused to be fleeced for n.i.l. anymore. fleeced for donations. fleeced for support for anything. no bleed green. no nothing.
use me for a year plus, only to go get the first big job that comes around. not gonna happen again. fool me once.....fool me twice.
good luck to the new coach, but i aint financing his success to the next job.
will my butt be in the front non cheering no emotion row? yes it will. as long as they will let me.
this current thing is not, i repeat not sustainable.
God bless you all you have done for this program. Wish we had 100 more just like you. As you accurately state this thing is just not sustainable.

NCAA will be gone in 5-10 years, then maybe College Sports can go back to what it was intended for Student Athletes playing a sport they love while getting a free education. These athletes now days are selfish and the NCAA has given up on the academic/education side of college sports. The quicker it implodes the better
You leave out the fact coaches and universities made billions and that is what caused this not the players.

Texas will spend $35-40 million on its 2025 football roster
in Mean Green Football
Posted
How can we ever possibly compete with this? Link: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/texas-will-spend-35-40-million-on-its-2025-football-roster
------------------------
Horns down payment.
Via Kirk Bohls of the Houston Chronicle, the University of Texas will pay $35 million to $40 million for its 2025 football roster. The number includes what likely will be $20.5 million in revenue sharing plus NIL payments from the Texas One Fund.
The spike in money for the players apparently will be a one-time thing, since many schools will be phasing out their NIL collectives in lieu of revenue sharing until the pending antitrust settlement.
Texas won’t disclose how many players will make at least $1 million. Quarterback Arch Manning will be the highest paid Longhorn “by far.” All of his money comes from NIL deals done separate and apart from the school.
Manning will be starting for the first time in 2025. Despite the fact that he’s the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2026 draft, he could still choose to come back for 2026.
