My point is that the system isn't going to change because we don't like it. We either adapt or get left behind.

People have every right to complain on here; I do it all the time. My point is that the system is not going to change because we don't like it and if UND as an institution doesn't figure out how to thrive in this environment, we will get left behind. There's no getting around that. The first 15 or so years of Division I have been very underwhelming to say the least. I would hope the next 15 years prove to be much better.
You don't want to give, that's up to you.
But if you aren't interested in giving, please don't ever come here and complain about our lack of success on the field.
I don't like what is happening any more than you. But it isn't going to change because we think the current system is "immoral" or "wrong".
Either we adapt to the climate as it is or we get left behind. There is no third option here.
Cripes people, anyone who expected a championship contender in Year One of the Eric Schmidt Project was kidding themselves. The talent he inherited from Bubba wasn't terrible, but it wasn't elite either. I believe Schmidt has recruited elite talent in his first two recruiting classes and once they see the field, it will be easier to evaluate this regime.
