While it seems so on the surface, do we want the entire staff being poached and have to start the process over? Do we need to look at bumping up salaries to stay competitive and stall out the better coaches moving on? We won't be able to compete with a G6 pay scale but being at the very top of FCS sure would help IMO.
On the subject of Polesek's salary, with the G6 coaches getting that kind of money, how long will be before Schmidt gets something big like that offered to him and moves on? You can bet that another good year and he's on somebody's radar. These G6 salaries are nuts, especially for Polesek.
Horribly slow again tonight again. I think I speak all of us in that we appreciate all the work it takes to keep the place going and a special thanks to Jim Dahl.
Once again the Bison had several players drafted and UND had none. This is one thing that needs to change going forward because it's a great promo for our recruits to point out the NFL potential. We didn't even have a UDFA that I know of.
Interestingly the Vikings are the only team so far (at the time of this post ) to get a grade D for their draft selection. Once again the Vikings are doing things like usual. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2026-nfl-draft-grades-tracker-live-round-1-analysis/
So who are the other 3 FBS conferences they've talked to? I'm sure 2 are CUSA and the MWC but who's the 4th? Would they even want the MAC? They can't be as desperate as Sac State was.
I'm glad they're gone. We can finally be out from behind their shadow and be at the forefront of FCS football. I'm sure NDSU will do just fine in the MW but we don't need them either.
