    I've seen the packages they are selling for this year and to me, compared to other forms of advertising in town, their rates are pretty reasonable but have the opportunity to bring in some nice money for NDSU.

    I know it is hard to figure out with all the free ads and promo's, but what would have WDAY or the IN forum cut a check to NDSU for?

    Comparing the dollars is one variable, but having the Bison Brand front and center everyday is obviously worth something that you would not have gotten with Forum Communications.

    I wonder if we will see something like this with Kolpack in the future? Basically, the Wichita State beat writer is moving over to the Athletics side at WSU. His position is being mothballed at The Eagle but they will still rely on him for their day to day articles, except they will be paying WSU for them now instead of having a guy on staff.

    It's one of the few money makers at the Forum. They wont' dump them.

    They have to pay for Mrs. Marcil's vanity project.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Wday and KFGO wanted Ndsu to cut them a check for like 80 grand for radio. Radio FM Media gave Ndsu the Fox, Detroit lakes, wahpeton, and Bison 1660 for like 35 grand per year plus 30% of Bison 1660 revenue which means they actually make money on it
    All the proposals were made public by Valley News live

    Don’t forget that weird stipulation from WDAY that NDSU owed them money if the football team didn’t make the playoffs (or win a certain amount of games - can’t remember).

    It was the type of bid a company puts in if they are the only ones bidding. Either they were arrogant or didn’t want the bid to begin with.

    Yep, they negotiated like we were a D2 team. The reaction after the fact was the epitome of whiney and calculated. They even conspired to try and get Breschiani fired by getting all their talking heads to attack him like CNN attacks Trump. (not trying to get political, just a good analogy)
