    Honestly, I think the malcontents are against any NDSU success that casts a shadow over UND. Which means, UND would have to be extremely successful. Right now, they're suffering from the numerous times they shot themselves in the foot over the past decade and a half.

    Did you just say it would be great for UND to succeed? I thought you were only a SDSU fan...

    Much like the NCAA in the 90's they need governing bodies to drag down NDSU in order for them to compete.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    UND had its own guy running the University that did not excel at budget management. At least he didn't put UND on the brink of losing its accreditation.

    UND didn't have the deck stacked against them. Playing by the rules during Chapman's time wouldn't have gotten NDSU anywhere.

    Did we lose it?? Nope

    Did we end up with better equity funding????? Yep

    Are we better off now than we were then??? Yep

    Sometimes to get things done drastic actions need to be taken.

    Sometimes the end justifies the means.

    Didn't argue any of that. However if Chapman wouldn't have been removed when he was, the answer to some of your questions aren't the same. Kudos to him for rolling the dice with NDSU's future, good thing for you guys someone from the outside stepped in when they did, despite the protests from supporters.
