They have raised more money every year than in the past. The real issue is you dont understand the mission of Team Makers. You also dont belong to it and dont donate to it. But for some reason you are critical of this organization.
My suggestion is grow up. Forget your butt hurt and become part of the solution and not continually being part of the problem.

You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

I was on the Finance Commission for almost my entire 4 years at NDSU and went through all 4 of the spring budgeting grinds. The last budget I saw was in 1980 and we allocated around $170,000 for mens athletics, and I know it took about a $20,000 jump either in 79 or 80 when Sponberg was seriously looking at moving up to D1 and wanted more money to show we were serious. I also remember the bitching from 90% of the students who felt athletics was a waste of money. I can well imagine how things would go now if you jumped fees a lot.
BTW, Men's Athletics was getting about $20 a student in those days. Another problem was Title 9 (?), which said womens athletics had to be funded the same rate. We got around that slightly, but any huge increase in mens funding meant more to womens as well.

Why doesn't NDSU just: a.) go get more money b) join a conference after this cold snap c) become the number one rival of every school in the nation d.) get even more money e.) grow the perfect and most loyal coach in the NDSU biology labs f.) go get even more money
I don't get why we just can't go out and do this! Come on! Get on board people!

you needed 13 pages to realize this?
lakes has been touting this for 2 years and finally getting the recognition he deserves. NDSU is the cream of the crop for football right now. everybody now knows about the Bison. they can easily become a brand, household program by moving up. FBS commish's have to be drooling at the thought of adding them. I hope lakes is out there addressing this right now

Don't kid yourself, people have been calling him an idiot since day one.
From the movie THE PROGRAM
Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?

It also doesn't hurt UCF that they are in Orlando instead of Fargo. I love Fargo, but the past tells us that NDSU may not have FBS conferences lining up to issue an invitation. Geography is a real issue and one that we cannot control.
