Probably nationally but in the upper Midwest there are a lot of eyes on college hockey and I think it does bring exposure regionally which is probably important for a school like NDSU.

I completely believe that there is money to be raised for funding the basketball programs at a higher level but the University and the Ath. Dept. need to be the ones selling it and pushing for it in...
The feds will be coming for you soon.😉
In all seriousness, all personal miles are taxable and your commute to and from the office is technically considered personal so there should be some miles...
Maybe you hired the wrong person? Maybe you didn’t properly notice it during the hiring process? Two sides to every story.

By my rough math they are "missing" $350K per season in revenue by that decline in average attendance. Given what our total basketball budget is, that is no small amount.
No the additional funding is so we don’t feel stuck with renewing a mediocre coach because the prospects of something better are slim without increased coaching salaries.

Increased coaching salaries (which would allow options other than DR)
Increased scheduling budget (hopefully fewer Oak Hills Christian games on the schedule)
Increased recruiting budget (allows us...
Mankato is the only one of those three that would be able to make it work. SCSU is struggling to maintain their D2 athletic budget and Duluth, albeit better than SCSU, is no where near Mankato in...
JFC, would the football program be what it is if we capped our funding at full scholarships and the baseline facilities? All Div 1 programs have the same number of scholarships available and need to...
Below is the home out of conference schedule this year. There is absolutely no way that this schedule looks like this if Dave is given "enough money" to schedule quality opponents. San Jose State is...
Not a big fan of Richman and think he does have some accountability for the state of the program but I 100% agree that the majority of the accountability should be placed on ML. There is absolutely...
The men’s bb program is 100% a function of ML and the leadership not giving a shit. There is absolutely no reason that we shouldn’t be the cream of the summit crop.

There are also 9 division 1 hockey schools located within a 6 hour drive of Fargo. There's lots of talent to recruit but lots of people recruiting. Those 9 schools also all have or will have...
If Jung is our FS than we don't have any talent up and coming. Nothing personal against the guy but I don't believe he is a starting D1 safety. He doesn't have the physical tools to do it.
I have reminded them of the quantity of NDSU championships but I also typically just let them have their moment. My hope is that maybe they'll take a cue to "act like they've been there before". ...
I disagree. I appreciate Greenfield and others who offer up logic and justification behind their opinions. It makes for better discussion in my opinion.
USD is a fine school and there are plenty of students that attend there. Always has been, always will be. However, SDSU has always had about 1500-2000 more total enrollment than USD and they...
Wasn’t discussed at all. I’m one of one as NDSU alums in the family so I just left it alone. Not much needed to be said. However after all those years of second fiddle they absolutely are empowered...
Absolutely! I think USD in Rapid City would make for a really interesting dynamic between USD and SDSU. East River vs West River. Ag/engineering vs. doctors/lawyers. Rapid City vs. Sioux Falls. I...
You’re right, no guarantee that won’t change. The gap between SDSU and USD is far more significant in terms of fans/donor base though than the gap between NDSU and UND. Unless USD does something...
I think there are a fair amount that think that. They just think their success is a result of our decline particularly in football. I think that we have declined but they have also continued to...
Yes, from a city perspective but SDSU is much more reach wise than just Brookings. Some young kids may choose not to attend SDSU because of Brookings but the dollars that are invested in that...
I'm from Watertown and much of my family still lives there and I am very familiar with the campus and the University. I have lots of family and friends who are SDSU alums. The difference in that...
First, the collectives seem to be built as much on individual smaller donations as they are on large corporate donations. Also Daktronics, Premier Bankcard, Larson Windows, Sanford Health are all...
Couldn't agree more. In a lot of organizations there are significant pay discrepancies that only can be explained by laziness or greed. Sometimes the best employees who complain the least are the...
