brilliant idea to sign a bunch of years ahead FBS games getting much bigger paychecks and then dropped to FCS. Well played.

Also talk idaho only has 8 more schollys than fcs max currently.

Thanks for the link. They start Big Sky play in two years.

School colors still include pink. Schools athletic colors have never included pink,

Grays the new beige for interior wall colors.

That "agreement' is probably already written in the contracts.

That half percent would have paid for baseball.

In case you missed it, Idaho Vandals have a press conference set for tomorrow. Sources claiming UND will get another Big Sky football conference mate. 14 football playing schools.

I heard Notre Dame fits the criteria.

The problem is that first million would be gone in two years and they'll be back at ground zero. Edit: See barn winter beat me to it.

To add what I mentioned earlier. Brad mentioned it won't affect Jack Michaels. And I would doubt he's already signed with learfield but not rolstad and hennessey? That's why it appears to be a different situation with some and not others?

I was googling some Prince things the other day. "Did Prince...." Auto corrected to ...."have Aids." Might be what caused his death some sources are saying.

That's all I'm saving for the upper and lower. Would be nice to have a few "hang out areas" to "alleviate the traffic." Listening to the podcast "if I won the lottery"....Jody: "first would be the on ice projection system." "People say I'm over the laser show."

Or as some publications call it "Americas Best Hockey Town."

Sports town.

IIRC there is already an end date to give it to UND.

"Why don't you drive a Porsche like me?" "Cause on top of this new truck I drive, I'm paying for a mortgage on this mansion on the lake. I don't live in a trailer like you." "I knew you'd bring up your house. I was going to bet my mortage on it."

Glad you are able to understand basic economics with the ag degree.

Thanks listening to it now. They have been great at keeping up/renovating the arena and I see no reason why it would change anytime soon.

Agreed. It's really only a matter of time for both. And I'm sure the "ice projection" will probably be done soon.

15 years ago seemed like just yesterday. But interestingly enough, the old ralph was only thirty years old when it was replaced. When a sports arena is owned by UND, it has shown a history of not doing the best to keep them up to date. Thankfully the Ralph isn't currently owned by UND yet.

Wouldn't it be fair to compare each schools #1 sports? That's like me asking how many folks you have on your basketball season ticket waiting list? UND sells more sporting event tickets than NDSU and its not even close.

2000 is actually a small number for a 19,000 arena. Heard UND fans had no trouble getting tickets to the game. Thought it would be a lot harder giving all the hype of how hard tickets were to come by.

Yes of course your points are accurate. Its also accurate to say the entire REA was first class when it first opened, and nothing really beat it (even NHL regardless of the size...comparable yes). But its not anymore. Sure its still the best college rink bar none. But Ralph didn't want to compare it to other college rinks. Laser light show...and the scoreboard (regardless of higher resolution needing to be replaced because of fire/smoke) are quickly becoming outdated. Concourses would be wider as capacity increases....thats obvious. It's the "coves" and the not the "exact same inch by inch is the same all the way around" Of course its "splitting hairs." Never claimed the Ralph wasn't "awesome," but when Ralph Engelstad built the arena he was also "splitting hairs." Just pointing out things that will leave the arena behind someday, and don't kid yourself, the arena will "one day" be "outdated" without not only "underground renovations" but also "above ground renovations."

The rest of your post? "Big money waiting on tickets." That still doesn't mean much for "sustainability." First start charging students and see how "sustainability" that is (last I heard they don't usually even sell out all their free tickets).
