SO they brought a guy in specifically to tap into our local alumni, targeting "fundraising outcomes"?

"We believe Brandon will harness the untapped potential of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and increase engagement with UNT’s 461,000 alumni."

hmmmm....

How does he feel about all the UNT alumni in DFW, and is there any desire/plan in place to connect them back to athletics?

VP for University Advancement.  Is there an Athletic Advancement team also or same people?  Many years ago there used to be infighting over lists of donors that Athletics was not allowed to solicit.  Probably not an issue now as Neal and Wren seem to work well together.

I have seen him at many events. Very nice guy and seems to do a good job engaging alumni

Yes but remember, he really covers everything not just athletics.  I hope that he cares for athletics or is compensated to do so.  There are a lot of departments fighting for the same money at UNT.  Have been for years.

      Here’s a couple more anecdotes for you to spin: I coached a kid that played basketball at Wichita St. Average work ethic, tons of talent. I also coached a kid that played football at UT. Average to above average work ethic, elite talent. I doubt most D1 players don’t work any harder than their high school teammates, they just have more talent. I would even say that many less talented players have to work harder just to be able to get on the field. I know there are a few high school coaches on the board. I’d love to hear their experience.

      House v. NCAA settlement winners and losers: Athletes take monumental step, non-revenue sports at risk

      Also looking like by moving the collectives back into the athletic department they can regain the tac benefit: “There is, however, another incentive to drive donors to give to schools now that the universities can pay players directly: Their donations are subject to tax deductions, unlike those to a collective.” link: https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-settlement-qa-how-will-schools-distribute-revenue-what-is-the-future-of-nil-collectives-and-more-125519681.html

      House v. NCAA settlement winners and losers: Athletes take monumental step, non-revenue sports at risk

      Winner: Boosters and fan pocketbooks Athletic departments are still going to need boosters to make big-money contributions, arguably now more than ever as their budgets are squeezed amid a decrease in NCAA distributions and the advent of revenue-sharing. But the boosters and casual fans won't be so directly needed to fund talent acquisition. The term "booster fatigue" has become common in the college sports lexicon. Now, the primary onus for paying the players will be on the athletic departments. That takes financial pressure off supporters, who are already shelling out for seat licenses, season tickets, travel, merchandise, parking, concessions, cable packages and all the other expenses that come with being a college sports fan. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/house-v-ncaa-settlement-winners-and-losers-athletes-take-monumental-step-non-revenue-sports-at-risk/amp/

      I gave you a personal example of it being true.
