Report

(Mods, feel free to move this if you must) This upcoming Saturday June 8th is my department’s 4th Annual Child Safety Fair. This event provides a ton of safety related information and free items such as booster seats, drug lock boxes, life jackets, gun lock boxes, etc. to keep kids safe. We also run a silent auction as part of the event with all proceeds benefitting Denton County Friends of the Family….with one of the items being perfect for a Mean Green fan. As a DCFOF board member, I do all I can to help raise funds for this essential organization. The silent auction link is below and everyone is of course invited to bring your kids out to join us at Liberty Christian for the event. https://my.onecause.com/event/organizations/851997b9-f90b-4f3d-a1fe-87345f119904/events/vevt:b83bfedb-564e-4cbc-a6ea-8564e114e3f8/auctions/silent-auction?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1djzo5Ywn1MTi9DUWFzZ8pizZKHRDttm4qqw8JkLPA3_IqTvFW2lBYzFA_aem_AU4AM0JAU5SaZP09SRH_W5POcWxPYOELy5YFfeZKJUmacu3sYDYR1xftWJPidygQbp7Jy6zEsAA3I0xLPgECEeNT

I was unable to attend this year in Ft. Worth. How did those of you who were able to attend feel about the venue and the AAC tournament set up?

Agree...it's a sad state of affairs and I never would have believed that I could have lost so much interest in college sports after being such an avid fan for decades but that is where I am now

NIL is well on the way to destroying college sports. Anyone that can't see that, is either a fan of the very top tier or is not at all interested in college sports. I have never been less interested in NT sports since I enrolled there fifty plus years ago. The completely inept or/and scared administrators and coaches who continue to remain silent and let the NCAA and court system ruin college sports should be all terminated. The pros are a much more enticing choice than college, because they do understand that competition is the basis of their success. I never thought I would rather watch a random pro game more than a meaningful college game, but I am now there. My rating for NT sports is still around 5, but that is compared to a 10 prior to this NIL nonsense.

Just read in the DMNews.......that the league has agreed to keep the b-ball tourneys in Ft Worth..........through 2028. This is pretty big news....because I've got to figure a lot of the schools (Memphis and the Eastern ones)......would like to see it much closer to them. MU would like it in Memphis. So very happy that it's gonna stay here at Dickies Arena.
