Canada to US crossings at Pembina down 39.95% in March YOY from 2024 to 2025. FM and GF Visitors bureaus are worried about the impact. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/north-dakota/decline-in-canadian-traffic-prompts-concern-at-visitors-bureaus-in-grand-forks-fargo

I was a young teenager when Bob played at UND. I had a cousin on the UND team and he introduced me to Bob at the 'meet the Sioux' event one year. Bob couldn't have been nicer to me and my friends.

I'm fine with kids getting paid but still think the system is broken. The NCAA men's bb had all No. 1 seeds make the final 4 for the second time ever. 15 of final 16 teams were seeded 6th or higher. Any smaller teams that have a good year have their kids gone by the next year. Some HS seniors are taking it in the shorts as a lot of coaches are only interested in transfer kids. I talked to a D1 volleyball commit last week who had her scholarship pulled because the Atlantic 10 school decided to go with all transfer kids. My opinion - if it is going to be pay for play, needs to be some hooks like pro sports with contracts that include the number of years. Has to go both ways as schools/collectives and players make that commitment. The Siouxperman8 very preliminary clause - Let's say you sign with UND for $100k/year for 2 years and decide to leave after 1 year for more $$, you have a buyout clause that pays back some portion of the first $100k to the collective. The new school collective can pay that for you if they want you bad enough.

As soon as I hit submit I figured out $$$$$ was probably the answer. Those are big numbers. The system is broken for sure. Don't know the answer but I think at some point there have to be 2 year contracts or something for players collecting NIL money.

Any rumors as to why?

Maybe on here previously but just saw BJ Omot to MN.

There is a ton of talent in MN. The Athletic had an article during women's March Madness on which state would have the best team if all players stayed in state. Minnesota was rated second behind California.

Add SU recruit Sophie Hawkinson from Wayzata to the mix as well. PG/SG who averaged 19.9 ppg this past season playing in the top AAAA conference in MN. Schiller probably won't have the scoring opportunities that she had last year.

Ran into one of our incoming recruits and her father today and asked if the coaching change impacted them. The parent said Hutter was the main contact for them during the recruiting process so no impact on their decision. They said they were impressed with him.

Angie Iverson Ohnstad. You are right. Was her coach and did play for U of MN.

Her dad Mitch Ohnstad also played for MN. We played against her last year. Had a very good hs career.
