Some other schools are currently still in spring ball. One can assume there will be movement when that wraps up.

With all the changes to the season tickets and uncertainty on the year I am guessing there is a decline in renewals this year. Not a great decision by the athletic dept.

We should invest some of the hockey budget into basketball. We’d get a better return. Terrible effort by a team that has every advantage a team could have.

When a player leaves, begs to come back and leaves again it is acceptable to question the player…..not the game. I hope his third transfer goes as well as his first.

Great argument. Tell me more about dropping your season tickets for football. When things suck for fans they stop going to games costing the schools money.

Talent that needs a year or two to develop?

All so that acquired talent can leave the following year.

Criticize we don’t have a collective…..criticize the people who work to set it up cause it’s not the right people.

Opportunity for money is playing no part in it?

Isn’t that the story of any low major conference? Transfer portal and NIL are only going to make this more frequent in the coming years.

But she did so let’s hope she’s a talent we can build around.

Have any local recruits committed elsewhere the last couple of seasons?

Legacy does not automatically equal commitment.

Are you better off raising money for coaches or raising money for NIL in today’s college sport landscape?

That would be interesting to look at. Also would be interesting to see when each of those coaches in Tom’s article were hired and where the salaries at time of hire ranked in conference. Certainly work to do but likely doesn’t change until new staff is brought in board. Going rate is much higher but facilities actually in place and not on paper should help recruiting a new coach.

No I wasn’t joking.

Facilities are equally…….possibly more important in getting/retaining the athletes that can compete for conference championships. Tom should do a fancy table comparing facilities. I bet the same two schools would be at the top but UND is positioned to be much more favorable.

Or if he wanted to accept more and didn’t redirect it to his coaching staff.

There are coaches making more that have accomplished less.

After the facilities are complete Chaves certainly has work to do regarding salaries. Would be interesting to see how the recent new hires compare to what was replaced. I’d rather have the facilities first as that is what recruits care about but an argument could be made the other way I suppose to check the boxes in the article.

Offensive coordinators play calling post NDSU deserves no blame??

It’s getting 4 gates

The UND athletic dept didn’t need to supply the media with knee pads to get fans to the games.

Looks like pre game warm ups.

while we do need every down help at DE and LB, our biggest need is getting off the field on 3rd down……specifically 3rd and 7 or more Not going to fix everything all at one time but if the staff can find a way to get one or two guys here that can rush the passer consistently, and improve a little on the back end, the defensive numbers will look better I agree though, I don’t know enough about this kid to know if he’s that guy
