JBB, your figures only work if both teams were at home on the same weekend. In actuality it is an away game for one of the teams and a cheap away game at that. That still leaves the away team to schedule another home game and add revenue. The revenue from radio and television are obviously much larger for a UND/NDSU game than they would be any other game the schools would schedule. I know that you will try and refute that fact, but it is true. The whole state gets up for that game.
If the leadership is so great at NDSU, as most bison fans claim, they would be fools not to want the $$$.
I'm sure that UND will do just fine with scheduling and will not have to run to NDSU's finger snap. Buning has already contacted NDSU about future scheduling and from the sounds of it will probably happen in either 2008 or 2009. As much as some NDSU fans hate to admit it, UND hockey will help in scheduling. I can see UND contacting Maine, New Hampshire and some other hockey schools for scheduling.
You can hold your comments regarding UND being in NDSU's shadow, until NDSU starts hanging some Division I NC banners. It is disrespectful to come on "your rival's" board with that kind of talk. Once again congratulations on your victory over Ball State last weekend, but don't let it detoriorate into trash talking.
