  1. How could that group get UND to commit to selling its own property to endow men's golf when UND wasn't willing to fund it 2 years ago?
  2. Am I reading this right - men's golf is now safe? Is this the result of a compromise with the Richards family?
  3. You do not have to be a Champions Club member to get football season tickets. Edit - or basketball for that matter.

    2018 Season

    USD has their 2018 schedule up. They show the October 14 (Sunday) game at UND to be at 2 pm. Early afternoon seems to be the norm for the conference.
  5. The Engelstad Foundation gets no contributions from REA, no ticket revenue. Other than 2 common board members, it has no connection with REA. It was funded from Ralph and his estate. It has net assets of $790 million for crying out loud. It could buy REA 10X over. Honestly where did this totally baseless rumor come from?
  6. In 2014, the Engelstad Foundation made a donation to REA in the amount of $3.26 million. You can draw your own conclusion.
  7. https://und.edu/finance-operations/_files/docs/ndus-2017-financial-report.pdf Page 71 of the pdf (page 65 of the report)
  8. I believe UND Foundation's bonds for Phase I should be paid off this year.
  9. Ha! You've obviously never met her. You can criticize her approach or her motivations without the thinly veiled misogyny.
  10. Where in the Constitution does it say that colleges are to be sited in Williston, Bismarck and Devils Lake?
  11. I guess what I meant was have they tried to get into gaming at a bar in town and been rejected.
  12. Has an entity affiliated with UND athletics ever attempted to start chariable gaming?
  13. UND doesn't need shollies, as the school doesn't have livestock to herd.
  14. As @iluvdebbies pointed out, the black team CCM jackets have the Fighting Hawk logo on the nape of the neck. The caps have the logo on the back. Here is a shot of them and of Berry wearing both at Final Five practice.
  15. From Bozeman Daily Chronicle article
  16. That wouldn't be a surprise - she was very close to going to MSU out of high school.
  17. Looks like 4 players got charged with minors.
  18. Kennedy is not going to make $1.3 million at UCF. Hitt's $1.3 million salary in 2016-17 included a one time retention bonus of $491K, something the incoming president is not going to get.
  19. Sac St is horrible. They lead UND by 10 after 3.
  20. Canada didn't score more than 5 goals in a game in 2014 either. The US did, twice.
  21. The 2010 Olympic tournament was horrible (heading into the gold medal match, Canada had outscored its 4 opponents, 46-2; the USA outscoring their 4 opponents, 40-2) and as a result, they changed how the round robin was done. Since 2010 the 4 highest ranked teams in the world go in Group A, the next 4 in Group B. All 4 Group A teams make medal round, with top two (presumably Canada and US) getting byes. Only the top 2 in Group B make medal round, playing quarterfinal games against teams 3 & 4 from Group A. So the last two Olympics, US and Canada have played 90/100% of their games against teams ranked in the top 4 in the world. It limits the number of bad blowouts. They use the same system for the World Championships.
  22. She hits at the same % as Merseli, .168. It does seem odd but on the other hand, I could see someone in her situation looking at UND as a place to go. With the exception of Wichita St, UND right now is a program on par with all the schools in the American. So you move to a program that: a) has similar, if not better, talent; b) schedules aggressively; c) has a strong chance to win its league; and d) plays before 4X the crowd that you do now.
  23. @iramurphy I didn't think about the state funds aspect of the master plan. You are undoubtedly correct that Phase II is not shown because it will be funded privately. Still odd not to have it in there though. I see the conversion of Hyslop to academics and the first thing I think is "where are you going to put athletics?"
