UND Fan

Instead of bitching, why don’t you simply send a note to Hutter along with your email address, asking him to add you to his distribution list!

July.pdf Attached, I hope, is Coach Hutter's monthly newsletter. If this doesn't work, I will try again to attach it.

I am glad that I was wrong and appreciate the info. I am also pleased to learn that UND is compensated. I would make two suggestions: 1) make sure your Customer Service employees understand this and answer this question correctly when asked and 2) make a big deal about it on your website. Fans are much more likely to make a purchase if they know it is benefiting their school.

I sent an email and received a phone call back. The lady said definitely that no % or commission goes to the school! I would think she would know what she is talking about!

UND receives NO commission from sales made by Game One Stores!! Do not buy from them!!

It may appear that way but the fact is that it is just the opposite!

Josh would be the perfect person for the job!!

It is against NCAA policy for a coach to announce or comment about a commitment until the athlete has announced his intentions. That is a good rule - the athlete should have that ability to make that announcement when he/she wants it made public.

He certainly was one of our very best! Magic was the correct nickname for him!

As a little preview addressing the above highlighted comment.... I am the guy who has run many different LHB's over the last few years. "Let's Help Bubba" (which really means "Let's Help UND Football") has raised thousands of dollars assisting the program with everything from safety (knee braces for OLs, helmet pads for practice), computer equipment for watching/editing game film and practice tape, jackets for late season road games and much more. I hope to roll out another (maybe my last) LHB soon. It will be a professionally done "Wall" honoring our Conference Championship teams, the National Championship team, All-American players, All-Conference players, All-Academic players, etc. We are trying to determine the best location for the Wall in our new facilities. It will be done in a first-class manner by a company with experience putting them together. We want to recognize all of these former players and teams but, as important for the program's future, we want it to be impressive for recruits and their parents who are visiting campus. For those of you who haven't seen our FB facilities over the last 20+ years, they have not been good (an understatement). Frankly, I have been surprised that we have been able to land some very talented recruits but, in my opinion, not enough to be truly competitive with other MVF and FCS teams. We recruit good kids who work hard and become better players. However, in recent years, we have had very few first team All-Conference players, let alone All-American players or players drafted by the NFL. We now have equal or better facilities compared to the competition. That is great but we still have a challenge with geography. Most kids we recruit need to drive by Fargo and/or Brookings, Vermillion, the Cities, even Cedar Falls to get to Grand Forks. We need to do all we can to be different/better than our competition. We are fortunate that UND is a great school and really has an attractive campus. Anything more we can do to set ourselves apart from the others will help. We want this Wall to be a factor in a young recruit and his parents deciding that UND is the right decision. This LHB will be considerably more expensive than our previous campaigns. I hope everyone will do all they can to make this successful. More information will be forthcoming. Thanks

I understand that Mara is making progress and a full summer in GF should continue to help his development. There are four scholarships available.

You are 100% correct!

Someday you will learn all that Kris does for UND athletics and UND athletes!

Funds are being raised to establish a Women's BB scholarship in Katie's name. Any contribution will help!

Thanks for posting - I live in Jacksonville and was not aware of this!
