You basically said you don't want the better coach to be the coach?!
I will take the better coach and hope he brings in a strong support staff to recruit.
The Lance Leipold not one person here voted for on the first "Preference for New Head Coach Poll"...the Lance Leipold someone said this...
After I said this...
We say yes to playing at the highest level of basketball, but no to playing at the highest level of football...for the same reason people wanted to stay d2 "costs to much" "I'd rather compete for championships."
Here is a long but good read with the GVSU AD about why they don't want to go Division One.
And I quote...
"There is another DII school that is reclassifying to DI and they will join a league in which the average distance it will have to travel to its new conference competitors will be 930 miles."
Is he talking about UND?

Talk about an unfortunate set of circumstances. We can't compare UMD after Bubbas cause they moved down to an easier conference and we can't compare USF cause they moved up to D2 after DeBoer.
If Bubba Bleeds Green so much why did he leave UND? (greener pastures)
If he did it before why won't you think he'd do it again?
I hope whoever coaches UND is such a great coach they get to "move up."
Honestly, I really don't think Bubba would get anywhere near the support of the fan base that he is getting, had he never set foot in the Alerus Center in 2001.
