It is crazy to have so many different mailing lists.  One list of names and contact info and then you should be able to subscribe to the different groups that you want to receive information/mailers from.

It's my understanding there is an effort to combine the alumni records into a singular source which would make recording keeping/extraction much easier.

Posting this as I get gas: Ill post what the two reps said. If anyone wants to post what they said, feel free. I don't think it would be proper firm to post other fans' comments. An audit of

A few notes: Michael Sicuro, and I assume Trip Keuhne, evaluates businesses and works to enhance shareholder value. He called us shareholders. Very important and set the tone for the interaction.

Coach Littrell, after the initial "Why not North Texas" remark, was hilarious and candid.  Least amount of coachspeak I've ever heard from a football coach.  I went up to him during the break, shook h

We've been talking about the sharing of lists (actually not sharing) at UNT since the beginning of GoMeanGreen.com.  How many years ago has that been Harry?

My sister-in-law works for the Rice Alumni Association. At Rice, the athletic department doesn't have access to the alumni association's email list, but can request the association's help in getting emails sent to alums. So, it can and is done by other universities in C-USA.

This still seems dumb to me.  One university, one list.

Not crazy and not easy to do.  It's a very complicated project.  It takes a strong committment to follow through and complete a project this large when everything is already "working".  We're working through many of these same issues at my work.  Departments can be very protective of their lists sometimes for good reasons.  Departments can be very protective if their data to prevent their donors being contacted for other causes.  Donors can easily be overwhelmed with mailings, phone calls, and requests for donations.  Combining data requires specific guidelines and strong oversight to manage it correctly.  All this is in addition to the actual project of combining large data bases which can be a nightmare to do.

@cerebus didn't you have some knowledge of this project?  Is it still moving forward?

It's still moving forward.   @NorthTexan95 is spot on.  Also from an IT standpoint you have to remember ab out 60 different people have been building their houses over the years.  Now we are trying to get them all to move into one house.  Some of them are going to want wood floors, some of them hate wood floors.  Some of them want a pool, some of them can't move in with out a second story.  Getting them all to agree to one design is tough.

And, to be frank, some of them have spent decades and a lot of money to build a really nice mansion.  Now they are being told they have to share everything with some groups that have put no real effort in, and have a cardboard shack.  They wonder why they are forced to share their hard work with them.

Getting passed all this is only going to happen with consistent pressure from THE TOP for a long period of time.

Great analogy.

I may have missed it, but did anyone mention scheduling and how horrible it has been?

It came up in a conversation with Trip after the program. He said he was surprised it didn't come up, so he is fully aware of the situation.

Interesting, considering how much you read about it on this board. I am glad Trip is aware of the situation. To me the scheduling is a top 5 problem in UNT football.

I think the person to address this with isn't hired yet. That will be included in my email to the new AD when he arrives.

      Thank You Softball Team Seniors

      Yes 👍🏻 they have been really consistent over the past few years and the future looks very bright based on some of their players being younger.

      I say we stay put and fight

      I’m out at the Big 12 Baseball Tournament this week and we are all in the same boat. Kansas State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech are all going to run into the same issues we are. They have good but not huge fanbases. Their top talent will be poached by the two leagues. They will have connectivity issues between players and fans like we will. They will have trouble getting their fans to dump money into the black hole that is players salaries. We actually have a heck of a recruiting edge over many places and we need to use that leverage immediately: 1. Smoking business climate. 2. Top sports market in the country. 3. Countless cultural experiences. 4. Robust shopping nightlife scene. 5. Mild winters. 6. No state income tax. When this movement takes on a full throttle professional business model, UNT will be poised to compete and lure talent equal to those not in the SEC and Big. We will need to professional horses in the Athletic Department. But I like our potential. Live work and showcase in DTX, Stillwater, Albuquerque, Boston, Corvallis, Ames or Boca Raton. You can see how this could possibly play out. Yes, go in sell and fight. GMG
