BTW had to listen to alot of whining from people here about NDSU BB being on TV instead of hockey. Guess they were not bright enough to check the guide to see that hockey was televised on another channel.
The state can still chip in for the BSA improvements. No reason they can't throw in 5 to 10 million for a facility that has not had much in the way of upgrades in 40 years (how much is the state helping UND for their indoor practice facility?). Athletic facilities get physically worn out and needs change faster than most (not all) academic facilities.
