About 6 months ago App was I think trying to set up I believe,a masters or doctorial program, had to submit to the state for approval, UNC objected, and surprise, surprise, we were denied. This isn't the first time, this has happened many times over the years, our chancellor Peacock, has shown frustration at not being able to improve the University because of the roadblocks thrown at him at the state level, without really giving us clarification on why we were denied. The frustration for us is we are just trying to improve our school, but if UNC sees anything we do as a threat or even just competition, they have the power in just a phone call to shut us down. Bottom line is the mid majors in NC are all under the thumb of UNC, there is not denying they have a lot of control in what happens at our University and it pisses us off.

Yea, still not unique to App. UTA and TXST have two controlling schools that just need to make a call. Ask UTSA the hoops they had to go through to start their football program.

I think ut-austin would certainly be similar to a unc for us at uta but we arent in the a-m system and they will come play us at our place so I dont hold any grudge against them. both schools seem to get more than their share of the money. enrollment wise uta may be more than 3/5 the size of ut-austin but I doubt we get 3/5 as many dollars from the system. as for utsa, I followed their blog when they first started talking about football. my sister is a grad from there and I grew up in SA so I was interested. the push for football and a change of conference for them was a move to align themselves with schools of more stature and shuck the small-time regional school image. I dont remember much talk of anyone holding them back..as I recall they got a yes from the regents, made a deal with the city for the alamo dome and hired a "name" coach and started recruiting players. what amazed me was their ability to schedule home and home games with the biggest names in college football before even running the first play. certainly made me jealous as we at least had a history of football and an actual stadium of our own and cant get it restarted.
