In theory, you are probably right. However, the mass email/twitter communication is not going to get it done. If they wanted to do this, they need to spend some money and create a UNT Teacher Day of Giving - Annual Reunion. Bring every single possible teacher that can make it to DATCU, cater to them with food and guests, and convince them that giving back is the only way to propel our university forward and see how many wallets they can open up. Market the event appropriately with a runway of at least 2 or 3 months. But this just arbitrary giving day with lazy and cheap marketing will most often times fall on deaf ears. But, hey, it's the UNT way.

I hadn't heard whatsoever...

I've always said if UNT Athletics could get an annual $25.00 donation from every living Teacher with a UNT Education Degree (I'm looking at all the teachers out there), Graduate or Postgraduate, Athletics would never have a shortage of money.

Is there a place to sign up for this? I know talks have went soft on alignment, etc. However, there is no greater time for UNT to be positioning themselves while it's not a national media event. UNT must be doing everything in its power to align itself with the best possible peer group it can snab. The ONLY thing about it I would dislike is getting away from the service academies, but they can always be on the non-con here and there. Outside of that, this would be a really good position for UNT to be in.

UNT now has more pledge drives than PBS.
