Maybe you should stand on a stool and type with the caps lock on so they know you're serious eh.

Lardsin must go!
I'm sure family factors into your decision. That's not necessarily how you've previously portrayed your decision here. It's not just about being busy for any of us. Most of us are busy and have been busy throughout this run. The reality is that if we feel something provides value to our lives we will make time for it. There were more people/fans doing that in the early part of the run than they are now. The level of competition and the atmosphere that results from it is a major factor in that. Them choosing to not make time for NDSU football is not petty. It's a direct result of them not finding as much value in the product as they used to.
Your lack of logic is astounding. Fans not choosing to invest in the program more is not petty. We all make decisions based on our own circumstances and priorities. The fact that more people are putting less of a priority on investing their time and money into the program should concern the administration.
So, you state the outgoing president said the money was there, have already talked about the quotes where he said he actually isn't sure that it is and then your response is, eh, whatever, you know better than him I guess?
Bold strategy, but I'm intrigued by the double down.
Yes, different affiliations would require different budgets, which again, was something he directly addressed. The interview was also from 4 months ago, he was well aware of where the fundraising campaign was at. Maybe being in the middle of something that turned out so well is exactly what gave him the insight to make the comments he did? And are you actually saying that a permanent 20%+ increase over today's baseline budget isn't a glaringly big deal or that NDSU's current budget wouldn't need to increase all that much to be at an acceptable FBS level? Because neither of those seem like statements I'd want to get behind.
But again, the actual point of my previous post was that you're claiming that DB is on record stating something that is more or less the exact opposite of what he actually stated. I'd would be curious to see where ML is on record saying the numbers work though.
It’s not about the additional fundraising, it’s about the additional revenue that would be coming in from the FBS conference.
I didn’t say he said there would be a huge influx of donor money. You’re not reading what I’m writing. Common problem on here.
Guess what percentage of NDSU’s athletic budget $5M would be. Then go to the knight foundation database that our local grave robber apologist keeps bringing up every 6 months to see how much NDSU could be getting from a quality G5 conference.
The fighting Sioux thing was about a bunch of weirdos lashing out in a strange way about a logo and mascot. They took their ball and went home over a picture.
What we’re talking about here is the diminishing return on investment of donations to an organization that is already doing quite well thank you very much.
I would love to see how you connect the two in a way other than people deciding to not donate as much.
But if you wanna compare teammaker numbers I’m more than happy to show you mine.
