    The consulting firm of Murney & Associates met individually with UND head coaches in September in a conference room at Hyslop Sports Center to get feedback.

    UND declined to release the findings of those reviews, saying they were all conducted orally. Kennedy said that was the routine procedure.

    When asked whether Faison approached Kennedy about retiring before or after the consultants conducted their reviews, Kennedy said: “They were in tandem.”

    Kennedy also rejected the term “reviews” and said it was “skill development.”

    When asked why pay for skill development of someone who is retiring, Kennedy said: “There are other players on the team he wants to make sure are set up for the transition that will continue to rely on those skills.”

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    You know, given Forum Comm's overuse of scare quotes (especially in stories about NDSU), it is very odd that the headline for this was:

    UND athletic director Brian Faison to retire Dec. 31

    And not:

    UND athletic director Brian Faison to "retire" Dec. 31

    Do you normally get paid for 12 months after "retiring"?

    Maybe he can tend bar for UND functions.

    He'd have to learn to make the 3 most popular UND cocktails:

    1. Goose Taint
    2. Springtime For Hitler
    3. The Siouxper Drunk

    If you qualify for early retirement per the NDUS policies, then yes, you can. Quite a few people across the different institutions in the state have gotten very similar retirement packages.
