Kolpack and Izzo can't like this

What are the odds Kolpack and Izzo redirect their efforts to the old abandoned outhouse? That could be a major backfire of this experiment.

Why would they do that? They're less popular than ladies softball.

Agreed, but it provides more freedom and opportunity for growth. If the worm turns, they could be on the ground floor.

Except there was no real consequences of failure. You could always do something and get essentially the same access/content.

And there are now? Seems like the only consequences for KVLY's failures are being suffered by other media members who do better work and Bison fans.

Love the work Jeff and Dom do and coverage of NDSU they provide. Very disappointed about the recent transpirings as they've been instrumental in the building process of our media brand. I understand the contract and legality issues, just not happy as a consumer. Would also be disappointed if JJ did not give J & D a prior notification out of good faith. Simply dropping this bombshell on 2 long-time promoters is not cool. Really hope somehow/some way we havent seen the end of them.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really understand all of the uproar. The only things that I can think of that really affect Kolpack/Izzo would be live tweeting the game and not being able to host pre/post-game show from NDSU grounds. Both seem like minor inconveniences. Forum Comm. has been getting a free ride on the NDSU money train for a while now. NDSU athletics is a different animal than other schools around here. IMO If Forum Comm. wants to play, they need to pay...

No one-on-one interviews with coaches either. It severely restricts access to the football and basketball programs. Your only sources for any Coach K stuff is now KVLY and the radio station. And a lot of people know how crappy the KVLY product has been. Why should they step up their game now when they're the only game in town?

I imagine the tailgate show will end up being live from BW3, or something similar.

We did have competetion and look how crappy KVLY pregame was..... it will probably get worse ugh.... just wish WDAY had the contract

that is WDAY fault that don't get contract. probably biggest communctiaon co in ND and they outbid.. they need to step up to plate next time.

Yes, because of the failure to be renewed. Prior if you did not renew a contract their was no real consequences you still had essentially the same access. Now you dont

They needed to do that for the new radio station

How many one on one interviews happen with each head coach in-season? I am under the belief (could be wrong) that most information coming from CK during the season comes from the form of press conferences.
