"clickbait" was originally the name for the titles to get you to click -- the clicks were the main metric that drove ad rates. Now, views, and listens are the metric, so the clickbait moniker has evolved. But I can be convinced that the name is incorrect and that this is better described as a classic Talk Radio bit. It's also a classic summertime ESPN thing.
When I was 17 or so I watched all of VH1s 100 Best ___ during the summer. It's the same stuff. I learned a little bit about some bands and people but also it was largely just a way to get ratings filler for the summertime.
I think it is fine as a piece of entertainment but I lean generally toward the view that this kind of stuff is junk food and I need to stay away from it.
Gamble would have been a hot commodity on the transfer market throughout her time at UNT but was never tempted to leave.
“Coach DeLong and my teammates are what kept me here,” Gamble said. “He had faith in me for a long time. I can do just as much here as I could at a Power Five.”
She’s done plenty already.

The quote above is why I love this team. She isn't the only one that could have left. These young ladies have represented our university so well, have fun playing the game and are a joy to watch. Hope they sweep Charlotte and make a run through the AAC Tournament.
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.
