I don't know the final number but we submitted what we feel was an aggressive first round bid. UND anted up $ XXX and then boosters & FB lettermen made commitments to increase the bid to what we hope is a successful level.
Some of the numbers being quoted here are quite high for first round games.
I expect next year's roster will be significantly different over and above the three seniors departing! Had Sather arrived earlier, I think this year's roster would be quite a bit different.
I don't live in ND so this may be common knowledge up there but apparently Paul Sather, the new BB coach, has a son playing at Red River who is 6'3", 295. He is a junior. Anyone know if he has DI potential?
