FSSD

I think most of us are referencing SDSU and NDSU is because UND is moving to a 4 man front

I don't think SDSU had a DT much over 285 last year and they did just fine.

It will be interesting to see how the defense develops and I really miss a stout defense.

For starters an accurate crest level forecast would be nice....

https://fbschedules.com/iowa-state-adds-south-dakota-to-2025-football-schedule/ Aug 30, 2019 — Iowa State will host South Dakota at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, on August 30, 2025. The Cyclones will pay the Coyotes a $575,000 https://fearthefcs.com/2020/06/19/south-dakota-state-and-iowa-state-to-play-in-2027/ June 19, 2020 by Fear The FCS - The two schools will meet on Saturday, September 4, 2027 in Ames, Iowa with the Jackrabbits will receive a guarantee of $550,000 I don't have a real problem with the payout if the game was played in 2020. But, the game was pushed and UND signed the new contract in 2021 when they knew the going rate was $550 to $575. They left money on the table, why?

Well, they were getting a couple of k more also. "Oregon will pay NDSU $675,000". All that I am emphasizing is that UND needs to be maximizing all aspects of the program in the new world of NIL. IMO, they have not done a very good job to this point. This is just one example.

When I saw the payouts it was a little shocking to see the differences. UND could have said NO and looked for other options. They had a 4 year window to look for other FBS games. Simply stated this is a failure. NOTE: There were a couple of other FCS/FBS games this year over 800K and a couple pushing a $1 M. I am kind of scared to see what the other UND FBS game payouts are?

I thought that a new contract was signed in 2021 that rescheduled the game. https://fbschedules.com/2020-north-dakota-kansas-state-football-game-rescheduled-for-2025/ Kansas State will now host North Dakota at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium in Manhattan, Kan., on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, according to the copy of the contract amendment. The Wildcats will pay the Fighting Hawks a $475,000 guarantee for playing the game. The 2025 Kansas State-North Dakota matchup will mark the first-ever meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.

Similiar to Omaha and Denver the new St. Thomas facility will host both Basketball and Hockey.

For me: Denver St. Thomas (I live in the cities - looking forward to this series) Western ASU UMD CC Omaha Miami Clowns - Who?? - Give me Augie or Mankato over the clowns.

It looks like UND left some money on the table with the FBS/A4 Games this year: Other Dakota FCS/FBS A4 Games North Dakota at Kansas State $475,000 South Dakota at Iowa State $575,000 Other Peer Schools: Youngstown State at Michigan State $725,000 Montana State at Oregon $680,000 Idaho at Washington State $625,000 Weber State at Arizona $625,000

The entire athletic department has been playing catch up since the decision in 2003. This fall when everything is complete with the Hyslop at Memorial Village, Nodak Insurance Company Sports Performance Center and Field House Memorial Village. UND will be on even ground with the peer Dakota schools.

And he has 4 yrs.

Meeting the new goal would be an accomplishment. The one thing I didn't see mentioned was the update to Aviation Operations at the airport. Is that still something the school is looking to achieve? New Goal: The campaign goal has been raised to $625 million.
