The facility had everything to do with the donor and their pushing it through I know Stevens has said this for his part. The administration giving themselves credit for the work of a donor though is UND athletics through and through taking credit for the work of others.

I’m surprised that Stevens has made it even this far. He has been pretty vocal that the administrative don’t support softball and there are title 9 issues, and that Chaves has nothing to do with the new facility he actually had all the influence. Maybe calling Chaves out is another way to an extension.

Exactly

If only Berry and his players were angry losers maybe they would win more games.

With all the coaching contracts about to expire in the same year as the athletic director 2026 could be a year to right the ship all around. But I do still wonder if the coaching is really that bad all over or is it the way the athletic director runs the department.

The whole department has gone down hill since Chaves arrived. You can point fingers at a program or two, but when this is across the board and every program stinks this is a leadership issue from the director.

I think the issues is Chaves has been rewarding subpar performances for years and don’t see him being able to buyout coaches before the end of their contracts after doing so with Bubba. The athletic director made this mess, time for the president to clean it up with a new director with clear expectations of what it takes for coaches to get an extension.

I agree

He has already made the decision. He's already had to explain to Armacost he had to pay Bubba out by creating a job for him. There is no way they can afford to pay out basketball and hockey coaches too. Plus he probably thinks this was a successful season so watch for a 5 year extension. Until Chaves goes UND does not improve it is that simple.

There would be a lawsuit for alcohol poisoning

Maybe you didn’t say it but that seems to be the status quo around here. Next year

wasn’t that said last year? And the year before? And the year before that?

He doesn’t care enough about the culture to step down. Like any person you will continue to collect your paycheck. This will come down to if the president has the balls to make the change because Chaves kisses Berrys ass.

The chants haven’t began yet

Is it too early to bring this back up?

The Softball team has had a better start to the season which has been good for them but the coach does not have a lot of positive things to say about Chaves and supposedly that is the general sentiment among coaches in the department. Regardless for anyone who follows UND sports it is obvious a change of leadership is needed for the department. If Armacost cares in the slightest about athletics he will bring in a new director. What was the verdict with the soccer title 9 case?

A split is a good weekend.

I think this is the most relevant place with hockey being our most significant sport. Prior to Chaves arrival hockey had won a natty in 2016. Volleyball and both basketballs were winning and competing for championships. Football was on the rise. What changed? Enter Bill Chaves. UND athletics is now a laughing stock. There are calls for new head coaches for almost every sport on this forum. Let's start with changing the person who is responsible for the overall decline in sports at UND. Bring in an associate athletic director from a Big Ten program or from a winning culture like SDSU to get us back on track. Long past time for Chaves to be fired.

5 year contract extension incoming

Extend the AD too for all the amazing work he has done during his time

This is some bad basketball

Track and Field is still pretty bad in the summit league, they are just less bad than every other sport.

Yes they would. That score was coming for CC

Very dumb. But is anyone surprised?

I hope this is sarcasm.
