G. Brint Ryan earned his BS and MS in accounting from UNT in 1988. He was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and the Blue Key Honor Society. In 1997, he received the Alumnus of the Year Award from the UNT Accounting Department.
Ryan was named a Distinguished Alum in 2009, and received the Outstanding Alum Service Award in 2003. He is chairman of the UNT System Board of Regents and is a steering-committee member for the Kuehne Speaker Series. As member and then a chairman of the Board of Regents, Ryan has been instrumental in the development of many major athletic projects.
He was one of the initial donors to the Athletic Center and to Apogee Stadium, where he is a suite holder. However, his biggest impact was his donation of one million dollars as part of the basketball-enhancement effort which resulted in Super Pit’s state-of-the-art center-hung scoreboard and sound system.
