Say you take 10-20% of funding from hockey to FB. Based on money matters per this line of thought, hockey will see a degradation. But will FB see enough of an impact from it?
Even if UND FB used it to win an FCS title we'd be just another FB team in the region with one. What would be UND's differentiator in that scenario?
Again, what would be UND's differentiator in that scenario.
Would an FCS title and a mediocre hockey program satisfy the masses. The masses. It'll satisfy, overjoy, some, but the greater of UND's fan base will be turned off. And that's a net negative for everyone.
Today, like it or not, hockey differentiates UND from the rest of the region. And differentiation is good, though some may believe otherwise.
The better approach would be to quit being envious and covetous of hockey and instead use it as the model to follow: Find the money and use it as a fulcrum to more.
Don't bring critical thought into the discussion. Wait, no, please do!

“Ralph Engelstad Arena, a $110 million gift from her father to the university, was completed in 2001 as the new home to UND hockey. The arena, contracted to be turned over to UND in 2030, was just one topic of many discussed in a wide-ranging interview between McGarry and Forum News Service. McGarry requested the meeting.”
“According to her, Kennedy characterized the arrangement made between the university and her father, Ralph, as written to the benefit of the donor at the expense of UND.”
“(He said) my dad made a bad deal when he first gave them this gift,” she said, a comment Kennedy said he doesn’t recall saying.
The school eventually retired the Sioux name and logo at the behest of the NCAA and now officially uses the Fighting Hawks nickname for its athletic teams. But the Sioux logo still remains in the Ralph, embedded in marble floors, and on seats and other fixtures.
Because of that, McGarry said, Kennedy has accused the family of “creating brand confusion” for the school, a charge she views as unfair.
In 2018 and 2019, Engelstad spoke publicly about her strained relationship with Mark Kennedy, who at the time was UND's president. The Herald reported in 2019 that Engelstad said the foundation wouldn’t give direct funds to the university until Kennedy was no longer president, though it continued to support student scholarships and the hockey program. Kennedy left UND in May 2019.
Kennedy was right. He knew what needed to be done to right the ship and help out football, and quite frankly make funding fair, but he was ousted due to public outcry, stirred up by Engelstad. When called out, though, they would still fund hockey, just nothing else, which is basically the current arrangement now that all is good again for the hockey moguls. You think the Engelstads walk on water too, I see. You’re easily convinced, but that’s no surprise. And I don’t find my desire to improve UND football hilarious, but thanks for posting your opinion, @siouxfan512. And as for numb comments by @jdub27, you think it’s a coincidence Kennedy left for Colorado in 2019? That’s the real hilarious piece in all of this. Ha! Ha! Ha! Why don’t you read up on some facts and get back to us. Thanks. Easily manipulated like the majority of GF was back in 2018-19 … shame, shame, shame.
Facts? Facts? Maybe use some in your next diatribe.

Not at all! Unless they have been a proven commodity somewhere else, I think transfers in general are a crap shoot. Not saying I don't want to bring some in when needed. They clearly fill a need. Sometimes its depth, sometimes you are rolling the dice and taking a chance. Sometimes you hit a home run.
I'm just not ready to say that a transfer that a RB who ran the ball 13 times in 3 games for 90 yards last year would be a monster get. Now if the coaches feel he fits the style and is our best available option, then by all means, lets get him on campus and I hope he dominates. I would never call a kid a bust before he gets a chance to prove it, but I'm also not going to assume that a transfer will step in and dominate until we see it happen.
Heading into last season I was assuming that after losing Otis that Isaiah Smith was going to be the lead guy, well Hoosman stepped in an did a hell of a job, I don't think anyone was expecting that.
As for anyone on an FBS roster, I think history has shown there are plenty of FBS dropdowns that never make an impact at the FCS level. There is a reason many of them are dropping down. Not saying this is a rule, but if I've learned anything over the years of following the program it is to temper expectations with the FBS dropdowns and transfers in general. You may get lucky with a guy like Braden Hanson or Alex Tillman, even McNaboe, but they don't all turn out that way. Oscar Nevermann never turned into a major impact play. James Johannessen wasn't bad but certainly didn't live up to the hype. Can't recall the guys name, but there was a defensive lineman (I think) who transferred from the Gophers who never did much either.
Like I said, I'm not opposed to it as long as it isn't the Petrino approach. I'd just prefer to temper expectations until they get into practice and show how they work with the team and the system. I'd be absolutely pumped if Julius Davis happend to commit and then came in like Hoosman did; who wouldn't !?!?

I believe the Union is connected to the law school, library, and the business school.
It is not. Law School is standalone. Library connects to business college, which connects to Merrifield with plans to connect Merrifield to Twamley in the future.

My guess is he figured out after his 3rd transfer, having not graduated, and just being arrested in Florida, he probably wasn't going to be eligible to play right away.
I didn't track DAE after he ditched us. Did he have to sit out a year after his second transfer like they're contemplating with Tyree?

I really like your "inside" vibe. Gives us something to look forward to. And I suppose something to dread if you start hearing about other kinds of news. Any whoo thanks for your insight and your careful way of "reporting the news" before it's news.

any chance norman comes back...is he done playing or transfering? is he still at und?
Most likely done with school. Possibly pro ball overseas.

Good sign! It will be good to have Klein’s size to mix with the quickness of Red, Bo, Eliodor, and Wright!
And Dennis... and a speedy rook or two who could get as many as 4 games and still keep RS intact.

Some people base the value of their lives and well-being on the success of sports teams or lack thereof. Kind of sad, actually.

Guy got a chance to play a lot of games for UND. Good for him.
Absolutely. He's already broken a number of the all-time records, in only 33 games, so far -- 3 as a true freshman, 7 as a red shirt freshman, 11 as a soph, and 12 as a junior. Pretty normal career trajectory for a tough as nails kid that doesn't get injured often. I don't think 33 games in four seasons is an inordinate number for a college player.

if you play almost every game for six years i guess you might set some records...might be a indicator that during bubba's tenure the qb position has been...average? (just like his lifetime winning %)
Ok, I'll play. All-time > Bubba's tenure.

9 minutes ago, Sioux94 said:I won't sugar coat it, it's not his strength. However have seen him throw it 45-48 yards in the air....but in my opinion he is too worried about getting picked on the deep pass and often over shoots his WR trying to be safe. If it's single coverage....and even if our WR only has a step on him.....throw it up and let our guy make a play, or get pass interference called. On occassion he may get picked deep.....but if he can connect a few times on some deep balls the defense has to be concerned about it and would hopefully open things up a bit more.
Yet before he's done, this year, he will rewrite nearly every, if not every, all-time QB record in the books at UND. He'll obliterate them if he decides to take his COVID year next year. Pretty good for a guy some call "Timmy [sic] 2 gloves."

That kid is going to be special. Great character on top of athleticism. I am intrigued by newcomer Torey Kai, too. Reported 4.4 40 time. Don't know which method was used to measure.

I am wondering if the addition of Wesley Eliodor really opens up were Red Wison lines ups this season. I am really excited to see his impact on defenses and the safeties when he is on the field. Plus, Wesley and Luke back on kickoffs. Which side do you kick the ball toward?
Siegel’s. ( ;

I was at practice Friday morning. It was good to see some football again! Nice to see Skokna out there making plays. I’m hoping he can stay healthy. I’ve missed his shifty style. Isaiah Smith looked like he was shot out of a cannon at times. Couple nice breaks and the burners were on.
I like the idea of Red Wilson at RB, but if Skokna is back and they can land the bowling ball of a RB transfer they had at practice, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back at WR. The transfer recruit looked stacked.Was good to see Tom Dosch out there running around. He didn’t go unnoticed, and not in a bad or distracting way. I really like that addition to the staff.
The DBs had a good day with some nice takeaways. A couple straight up picks and one that was ripped away from the WR. Devin Hembry had a nice day with at least one pick. Seemed to be in good position a number of times.
Quincy looked the part, so far, at TE. I hope he gets worked into a number of different plays. His versatility could be huge if used the right way.Tommy had a zip and direction on the ball the other QBs simply didn’t. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mentioned how Colton Hackel looked. Moved well, threw some nice passes. Good to see that from the guy 5th on the depth chart.
That’s all for now!Music to my ears! Thanks for some actual productive discussion.
