One could make a decent conspiracy argument about the Forum trying to kill all the athletic programs at UND (and consequentially the academic side also). Cut WDAZ. Buy the Herald. Closely get rid of it. No Monday papers. Move production. Sell the building. No stories the next day after 8 so most sports games wont get reported. Hire new sports writers in throughtout Minnesota to write about St.Cloud, Duluth, and Minnesota and inject those articles in GF, Fargo, et al. to promote those programs in the region. The Forum roundtable discussing how soon no one will be barely know UND exists, and NDSU and the Fargo Forum Communications will reign supreme. Power Grab! They cut the Herald and WDAZ to save money and then used that money to hire writers for competing teams articles.
