    Great idea. The key is access over and above the standard fan. Observe a coaches meeting, have breakfast with a coach. All can be set up based on donation level as far as the level of access goes. As Dion had mentioned only 7% give back to their university make giving back something special with some cool perks.

    Agreed and lets make it easier and more uniform.  Too many different ways can be confusing.  And lets figure out a better way to recognize people who give consistently.  Give good recognition that can be worm proudly at game days.  Like the old Mean Green Club used to have a special shirt that was only available for certain donors.  Set a season ticket goal and have a big countdown clock or show it o the Apogee big screen.

    There are 15,000 members on this board. If we had a model where 10% of the board gave $25 a month to this "gomeangreen club", that's $450,000 a year. 

    We could do something where we meet once a month during football season and once a quarter during the off-season. Maybe have random players/coaches/athletic department members speak to the group. With NIL, the players could get a small fee paid to them. Obviously, these are just ideas. 

     

    This is a fantastic idea and there could be some type pf badge on our profile indicating our donor status.  Need to come up with a good number of donation levels.

    This is madness.  Why would anybody pay more than they have to for any contract or commodity?   College sports is a business not a charity.

    Cheap, do you even realize who is paying most of these salaries as well as the overall sports program.  The students through mandated student fees.  This is how most non-super conferences pay for their programs.     

    It would not just be incredibly stupid to pay more than they have to, it would be a failure of their fiduciary duty to the NT students and donors.

     

    You're a good poster on here, and smart guy but let's step off the high horse for a second.  If you run a business you know that it takes money to get the best employees especially in today's environment.  We want to keep the salary level up so we can tap into a better pool of talent.  Also, once the money is budgeted for, why give it up?  It makes no sense and the student fee is not abnormally high or anything in fact my understanding ours is lower as a percentage than most.

    That fact pattern tells us it takes an elite coach to emerge a winner at North Texas, and that UNT is low enough on the totem pole that coaches will leave for better options.

    And yet. The indoor facility is really, really nice. Apogee Stadium, built in 2011, is still one of the nicest in the country for its size. Littrell made nearly $2 million, near the top of C-USA. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex produces as much high school talent as any area in the nation, enough that North Texas should have no trouble nabbing its share either in the first go-round (high school recruiting) or the second (the portal).

    Why shouldn't North Texas look at those fact patterns and think it couldn't do better than 7-7?

    "I don't know any reason that we can't. This is a team that I just watched compete with Boise State at a very high level this past weekend," Morris said. "The pieces are in place right now, we're going to have to add a couple here and there to continue to develop and grow these kids. This is not a program that's broken. I just think it needs a little shot in the arm. I've been in the American (as a Houston assistant for two years). I know what the talent pool in that conference looks like and I know what we have on our roster, and I think that we can get to the top of that conference extremely fast."
