  1. Give me NTSU and keep the new buildings and the lousy academics.
  2. Wow! The first place I've heard where a President is lower than an AD.
  3. If this happens, now we'll know where the President stands with regard to athletics.
  4. @BillSee58. Thanks for the information. I'm new to the forum. Have you ever done the same analysis for a Dickey or a Dodge team? It would be interesting to see if you have.
  5. I gave him a C for average. Yeah, today's grade inflation make it a B+ but I'm old fashioned.
  6. This Tier "excellence" is measured in grant dollars. Research reputations are created by the number of top investigators a university has. UT started its push for a national reputation in the early 1970's, "buying" Nobel laureates like Weinberg in physics. UNT is definitely less well regarded than NTSU was. Too many science graduate programs have dumbed down their curricala. Starting in 2000, I started seeing undergraduate textbooks being used for graduate level courses, something that never happened before. Getting this new Tier status symbol will not help attract the best students in DFW or Texas.
  7. Yes, I was talking about the people above the AD level: the President and the BOR.
  8. What really happens at universities is that all the employees become like the bad supervisor. This spreads like cancer, and it is impossible to change the culture of mediocrity after a few years. Sadly, RV didn't create the atmosphere of mediocrity, people before him did.
  9. Hope is a difficult thing to kill. I feel UNT90' s pain.
  10. Here is the UNT response: “The university encourages others to have respectful discussion of the matter and attempt to see the situation from all points of view.” It looks like the President is only a figurehead, not a leader.
  11. It is quickly becoming apparent that the President is ok with lying and mediocrity. I'm more upset with him than with RV.
