Great, but what happens if the courier gets hit on the way to the Governors office and the bill gets dirty and has to be redone or what happens if the governors offices can't find a pen to sign the bill does that mean we have to start this process all over...ground still hasn't been broken! ;)

I think the next step is for Governor Goodhair to sign the bill. There is no reason why he would not do it, but then one never knows with him. After that, I believe the College Coordinating Board must give its blessing. That is not a rubber stamp group. A knowledgeable fan told me that they held up the Aggies basketball arena for a year. That cost the Aggies a bunch of money and caused them to have to play another season in their old gym. Let's hope that both those steps get done quickly so that dirt can get moved.

I believe the bill has already been blessed by the state higher education committee so I think that's a go. I think the bonding for the project would have to be approved by the UNT BOR and the State Coordinating Board but that again should be just a quick signoff from what others have said.

I'll never forget the last line of this the first time I heard it....it was at Texas Stadium for an f-ball game against us. I was probably in 6th grade....except it was

N....T.....S.....U.....NTSU FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. Although Texas Stadium had more empty seats for that game than full seats, there were enough of you grouped together to make it sound pretty impressive in the contained, loud space of that stadium. The beat of the music was perfect for NTSU.

Adios, MoFo...

Now, because this passed by 2/3 majority, it goes into effect automatically after gov's signature instead of having to wait till Sept. 1, correct? This is what the 2/3 thing was about, right?

That's just a matter of when the law becomes effective. The fee can't start until the stadium is finished.

Got this word tonight from a fellow poster:

The first game in the new stadium in 2011...Kansas State. They are supposed to come here in 2010....but apparently (and rightly so)...we've asked them to move that back a year.

That, if it happens would be a great opening game, as Kansas State "travels really well"...as they say.

That would be excellent. Sellout for first game? :)

As of now K-State opens their 2011 schedule at home against Oregon, then shows two TBA games. I wish we had them for the season opener for both schools. BTW, they play at ULL this season, second week.

Sure would be nice if Coach Deloach had our defense back up top where it belongs about that time?

It's happened before. No reason it can't happen again.

You would not believe the alumni that K-St has in the DFW area. I wish someone could find a #. I so hope this is true because it makes sense, it would be a sell out for sure and we should expect the biggest crowd ever for a UNT home game.

      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

      What has the NCAA done for UNT and where does it fit in the future. No way in hell should they be negotiating a financial commitment for UNT. You look at the NIL lawsuit and a lot of the claims could also be the same claims for G4’s. Combine and take legal action.
