    It was the cost of doing business but it forced the hand of other schools. It put UND so over budget who thought they could do it to, without a revenue source, so they ended up cutting sports.

    But yes, getting fundraising for the IPF would be a big win as that is his true project

He said that team is in the hall of fame and we don’t need to do anything more.

    I replied that doing something to acknowledge that game and natty would tell all future recruits that if you do something special we will continue to celebrate it 50 years later. He said this subject is a non-starter.

    Larsen is a fucking idiot, end of story. The sooner he is gone the sooner we will have an AD who can rub two brain cells together.
    So hes an idiot because he didnt give you the answer you wanted to hear?

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    1) The NCAA "owns" the rights to the FCS Playoffs. I'm not sure how much freedom host schools (remember, the playing field is suppose to be neutral) have over what they can do.
    2) If the 50th anniversary of the second College Football Championship was so important, and it is, what happened to the importance of the first?
    3) Anniversaries of these magnitudes are big and time consuming. Last year, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our 1998 National Championship. That took a lot of preparation and I believe at least four months to plan (kudos to Nick Magee for getting it done). I don't know when you contacted Matt Larsen about the idea, but I highly doubt NDSU could coordinate getting everything done in a short amount of time, especially considering how much else they have going on.

    I think the idea was good, but something that probably should have been planned during the regular season, like Homecoming Weekend.

    No need to degrade Matt Larsen over this. Dude has a lot on his plate, and as the award signifies, he's doing a great job.
    THE AWARD WAS FOR the TOP 28 AD"S via Under Armour and were NOMINATED... (probably by Todd Phelps or Troy Georgen) i take 0 stock in that award.

    BNeil is far from a Millennial, and I’m kinda with him on his position. Our AD and assistant AD are close to if not millinials, and we are seeing a bit of their immaturity imo, as far as NDSU BB things go, on both sides and the Sarah Jacobsen goes. The successful programs are beasically running themselves, and thanks to athletic department for staying the fuck out of the way.

    A couple of thoughts. A lot of complaints about what ML has not done rather than reading the article and seeing what has been accomplished. Who cares if his predecessor got the ball rolling on some of the projects, they were completed during Larson's time.

    Then there is a complaint ML didn't do what someone asked. He wasn't asked permission to set aside some time. He was presented a problem and and asked to fix it. I think this might have gone a lot better if the question were to have gone something like this: ML, if we do all the work getting the 2nd NC team together, can we have some time during the game to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

    Asking someone to do a bunch of work that should be done by the requestor has nothing to do with age. It has everything to do with managing time.

    The labeling of generations and ascribing personality traits to them as a whole makes about as much sense as those Chinese restaurant place mats that tell me I should marry a boar but never a horse based on the year I was born.

    That kind of thinking is typical of your generation. Next thing you know you will be telling us you don't believe in ouija boards, bad juju or TAB's Magic 8 Ball.
