und is not fully funded yet. They have many sports that don't offer the full amount of scholarships they could. Sounds (Alumni talk) like Matt has most of the monies for the new FB practice facility. We should break ground like they wanted sometime this late summer.
exactly.
Matt Larsen is the typical east coaster. get fortunate to get into a no lose situation.
Football program at NDSU will never die at the FCS level, in fact, Matt Larsen should take heat for not pushing for NDSU to FBS with other conferences. Matt HASNT EVEN PICKED UP A PHONE OR EMAILED THE MOUNTAIN WEST/BIG 12!
the COA was talked about with Gene Taylor long time ago, Gene owns this entire sports department still, Matt just sits in his chair. Larsen was probably nominated for this award by his kiss butt employees. 28 AD's won this "AWARD" haha cmon!
the fact Larsen has allowed BOTH basketball programs to die and won't move the football team up to their proper level of competition DOES NOT make him Ad of the year by some obscure website
His handling of an in-playoff coaching transition was pretty much flawless. Of course a lot of that had to do with the respectfulness of the outgoing coach and the other hiring AD but football is what stirs the drink in the NDSU athletic department and he nailed his first major test, from a football perspective, as the AD.
I don't know the actual amount that NDSU pays their coaches, but if they fire someone, I believe they still have to pay them as to what was agreed upon in contracts. This 2015 article kind of covers the cost problem of firing college coaches: https://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...212-story.html
Lets say if NDSU is paying half a million a year towards coaching (includes assistants) for their Men's and Women's Basketball programs each, can they afford to pay upwards to that extra million dollars per year? Think how much money is lost if there are two to four years left on those contracts. I'm guessing no, and this is probably why programs like NDSU rarely fire coaches until their contracts expire. It is probably also wise if they don't have lengthly contracts, unless the coach has proven themselves to be successful.
