was Perron unhappy at UND or was it strictly a money grab?

Pecknold in the Quinnipiac Chronicle. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the guy that just had back to back shutouts in the regional. “He was ahead of the play the entire night,” Pecknold said of the Czech native. “He was locked in. We didn’t do enough to get bodies in front of him. He overchallenges, which is fine at this level, but that creates rebounds and they’re in trouble for that. We didn’t generate those first shots.”

Wondering if Ben Jacobson but don't know. Hopefully someone can fill us in on the story

Wow the puck is bouncing. Like many have said - shoot the damn puck. You never know where a pass might end up.

FCS has been at 24 teams since 2013 season. Do you want to renounce the 8 titles NDSU has won during that time?

We had a junior on our local hs girls team get over $50k two years ago.

There are a number of us on here that believe what you are saying and support what you want to get accomplished. There are plenty of red flags with the program going back over the past 10-15 years to indicate that if things don't change we can't be successful.

I talked with one hs senior/incoming freshman last spring and asked how it impacted her with Mal leaving. She said Hutter was the primary recruiter for her anyway. edit - I was talking to her and one of her parents regarding how it impacted her offer and commitment. Not regarding the play on the court.

I’d love our guys to stay but hard to argue with the money. If a kid passes up $1M to stay at UND I’d wonder if he even learned anything in his business classes.

When Calipari went to Arkansas 2 seasons ago he was guaranteed $5M for player payments. I remember thinking that was crazy. They’re now at $11.5M per this breakdown of Sweet 16 teams player money.

There's just so much money out there available and it's growing incredibly with the revenue sharing agreement. U of MN basketball was believed to have $1M available for the 2024-25 season. Estimate for next season is $5-6M. The spare change they can find in the couch is enough to lure kids from schools like UND.

It is possible that is looking to address your concerns and can't say much to anybody that is not in his chain of command. I know that would have been true in the corporation I worked for. It is also possible that he isn't going to do anything but even if he was he probably wouldn't say anything.

Guessing referring to Abby Duchacherer. Former ND Miss Basketball who plays softball at Alabama. Is coming next year with one year left I believe.

True. Just said more went in to the parents comments besides charter flights. That is getting all the focus on here but was only one of many things that were brought up.

I see a huge gap between UND and the better teams in the conference. We don't exactly tear it up in recruiting and even then a majority of our team left after last year. I haven't dug too deep but other Summit teams get kids to commit earlier and get arguably more higher rated players. I am for looking at everything that goes into that. Coaches, facilities, travel, scholarships, NIL, etc. The level of 'nothing to see here' just because it came from a couple of parents of current players is amazing to me. They most certainly have some bias but are also closer to the program than probably 100% of the people on here. If we were killing it on the court it would be easier to dismiss but we've been bad for a long time through 3 head coaches over 10-12 years. The end of Brewster era, Bernhard, and now Hutter. I personally think Hutter deserves another year or two unless Chaves and others determine it is really that bad. I don't see things getting better anytime soon unless he can get some good portal players. Based on the comments from the parents on here we might actually go the other way and see another big exedus of players and assistant coaches.
