So "within the next four years" the soccer field on the Bronson property will become a School of Medicine research building.
Where would soccer play then?
Or will the athletic facilities plan UND is working on (that should be out yet this fall) answer that for us.
We live in interesting times.
Obviously if the Sioux are on WDAZ they get it. I believe they used to switch one of those two over to FSSN for Winnipeg cable during broadcasts.
PS - Winnipeg cable means most of southern Manitoba too.
Those who take the time to read the details of things like Dr. Kupchella's Strategic Plan for UND have known this is coming (see priority/action area G).
Tim O'Keefe was asked about it on KNOX Radio one day over the summer.
It was mentioned by Kupchella at the Fargo Showcase.
And now this morning on KFGO Radio news you hear the man again talking about it.
UND is planning to launch the campaign to establish a $500 million endowment for the University some time between now and 2008.
... in accordance with NCAA's legislative process. And they didn't do that.
Oops. Did someone miss that key detail?
(Now read the Kupchella quote in my signature.)
Conspiracy theories are free.
When the fundraising campaign kick-off shortly you'll know it's no longer "theory". That's when I'll stick a crowbar in the wallet.
'cause I know you'd expect nothing less from me, how about (multiple choice):
- soccer and lacrosse in a new indoor training center on field turf*
- soccer and lacrosse on field turf* in The Al
I hope I didn't disappoint.
* NCAA rules require soccer on real grass or field turf. A soccer ball never stops rolling on Magic Carpet like what's in The Al or Memorial today.
Where were Kupchella, Harmeson, Buning, et al, on Tuesday? (Hint: It's a two-word answer.)
And did people here listen to them there?
Now, trust (some of) us when we say "patience". It's coming. Soon.
