What happened to his rating? He's currently at an .81, not .85

Deonte Simpson had offers from Ivy League Schools & mentioned wanting to major in Engineering.
Looks like the academic improvements are starting to pay off in recruiting as well!
I feel like rankings you find online of UNT's engineering programs lag behind their actual quality. I went to UNT for both of my degrees and have already been very successful thanks to them. I have zero concerns about the origin of my degree limiting where I could go and what I could do.

How do the endzones look???

I'm super pumped for 2019. Great OOC opponents and our core from last season will mostly be seniors and juniors.

I think the most important thing was left out, the design itself!

I think if you will research it you will find that UNT is far from alone.
Finally took the time to look it up, and you're right. Examples include Ohio State, Arizona State, and Penn State.

Not a chance...especially under our current president.
I hope so. I'd maybe be more OK with it if there were examples of other universities doing the same and having it be beneficial to them.

I'm just afraid that these branch locations are going to be like community colleges but with the UNT name on them (unless it does spin off to become its own institution a la UNT-Dallas, then that becomes less of an issue). I just don't want the quality of the programs on main campus to deteriorate, both in reality and through perception.

How is this kid still not rated when he has offers from Kansas, Indiana, and Texas Tech? That's gonna change very soon, I'd think.

Although I would like to see more development and investment done on the main campus, I know long term this is a good thing for the university.

Could you actually share why you think it'll be good? Because right now I'm trying to come up with my own reasons to justify it but I'm very much in the "invest in main campus instead" camp. And apparently I'm in the minority for not liking this Frisco expansion. I get that there's a good chance it'll turn into UNT-Frisco much like we have UNT-Dallas right now, but what does main campus get out of adding another institution to the UNT System?

Ive always wondered why UNT didn't re-name the school "The University of North Texas Medical School". Or, "The University of North Texas School of Medicine".
Because although UNTHSC is part of the UNT System, it is not an extension of UNT (Denton). It is in fact its own separate institution, so those two names for example make it seem like the institution is just an extension of UNT.
This is different from say the UNTD law school, which is an extension of UNT Dallas (also a separate institution of the system, but the law school isn't free-standing).

Look like he may have de committed. No UNT stuff on his Twitter anymore
If that's actually the case, maybe he wants to play for his dad at WVU. Otherwise with all of the ties we have at UNT I wouldn't understand it. At least 247Sports still lists him as committed.

If he keeps growing from his already great sophomore year, and if we really leverage some other pieces that can pull defenders away from him, I'm pretty confident that he'll get drafted. Seeing his touchdown during the UAB game last season convinced me.

Its a good rumor to put out there, if you think of negotiating up your salary ;)
Even if he does retire (someday), I really hope that he helps with finding his replacement before he's out. I would highly trust his opinion in that regard.

Ah dang, I really wish I still had some contacts up in Melissa, but I don't besides maybe a couple teachers outside of the athletics realm. Melissa is where I went to high school.
His younger brother Brendon is the QB at Melissa and already has an offer from SMU. I think it would help a lot if we offered Brendon such that it's a little more enticing for Kennedy to pick UNT.

Alumni Association should be free for the first year (there's a little fee that normally would be returned to you but you can opt for the university to keep it in exchange for a year in the Alumni Association). Afterwards it's $40/year unless you opt for the lifetime membership.
Other than that, give to whatever you want. This page is your one-stop place to make any donation you wish. From that page, you can pick athletics (Mean Green Scholarship Fund), Diamond Eagles, College-level funds, Department-level funds, etc. Departments (at least in the College of Engineering since that's my familiarity) tend to have generic funds, "excellence" funds, etc. It's best to ask the department what the difference between them are -- some go specifically to costs incurred by the department chair, for example, while others go to student scholarships. There's also the generic "where my money has the most impact" which is the most open donation bucket which the university can use for whatever they want.
And of course, try to attend games and events! I hope that helps!

I may just be old but saying that it is a sport just like Quidditch just kills any credibility. I would have gone with Lacrosse, Rugby, Men's Soccer, Baseball, wrestling, or cycling (all of the above are club sports on the UNT site)
Quidditch is/was a competitive team representing the university (think of chess club then if you don't like calling it a sport). I included it for the sake of diversity -- sorry if you had an issue with it. :) The bottom half of your post was new information to me, so I appreciate that.
In any case, like ipd054 said, there are several (more traditional) club sport teams as well that are student-funded.

Club team?
Yes, ice hockey is not sponsored by the athletics department. Instead it's just a student organization ("club") which still competes in the name of the university along with other club teams. There are several other clubs that do the same -- Lacrosse,
Quidditch, rugby, men's soccer, baseball, and bicycle racing to name a few. As mentioned above, even UT Austin's ice hockey team is just a club team. Besides the little bit they can get from the university as a student organization, the rest they have to fund themselves.

This happened last month, but I didn't see anything posted about it already.
Great to see him doing this well!
