This "best interest" argument? Seems to fit whatever narrative you'd like to fit. BTW it has grossly outlived its self life as an argument in this thread. I hate the Hawk logo but put it where it belongs...at the 50, mid court and center ice. I think we can agree that needs to be done and then we can siphon more dollars to the FB program.

Just trying to slow it all down for you!

Bubba should demand the new logo is at the 50................................that in itself would be good for 3 wins this coming season. BTW...........so sponsors can have a say if and where to logo goes but UND's biggest donor can't? ....and I'll call your BS on the turf issue argument you are trying present.

FYP

Alex......I'll take "Who's fault is it" for $1000.

You forgot.......... - the complete scrubing of any thing still related to the "Fighting Sioux" from the Ralph.

So under your scenario that hockey would playing in the old barn and FB as it currently is at the Al.............................which program today would still be the bigger source of revenue and needing to "help" the other sport programs?

Ahhhhhhhhhh..........so it really isn't then about the loss of the 52% ticket sales the REA is getting from FB? It really comes down to some here want the FB to get what's theirs at 100% then get some of the hockey dollars too. ......and to be honest I'm good with that. Let's just not try to have some of you here mask what you are really asking for. The 52% argument is a smoke screen at this point.

Might be an easy fix at this point in time is for each program, FB and hockey, just to sustain itself on it's own via total revenue generated and donations. Pretty sure the hockey program can make of go of it this way and the FB program would get a huge boost by capturing all their ticket revenue at 100% and whatever other revenue dollars that can be accounted for from that program. Might be too simplistic but maybe it could work.

Only if MK wasn't a regular on ZipRecruiter....................................

Where was the journalistic reporting in this article that one or all those entities was/is "robbing" dollars from the FB program?

Fridays: Down UNDer.....then eat at Shangri-La....then finish evening at Sensations.

......and why do you have hockey tickets? I'm being serious. Never met you but have never heard a season hockey ticket holder in 20 years rag on the program like you.

With friends like that who needs enemies................................................

So where is this big pot money from the FB endowment that you speak of and how is it being used to benefit the FB program? Obviously with all the complaining about what the FB program doesn't have those dollars aren't being reinvested in the FB program. Is it helping the BB programs?

Can definitely tell there are a few huge Bernie Sanders supporters from this thread!

Your take is incorrect.....I have. Was just in the hockey locker room and meeting rooms recently too.

I'll add that to the list of excuses as to why the FB team can't possibly succeed................................

Agree with you both sports need to be funded better but what's wrong with the Betty? Or the Alerus?

I see what you are trying to do here but.............

Correct and this school's main revenue sport is hockey. Always has been and most likely always will be so let's figure out how hockey can help the other main sports, BB and FB, succeed since up to this point they can't seem to optimize their revenue capabilities. Hopefully McGarry and Kennedy can resolve this issues in a couple of weeks. BTW I have had FB season tickets for same number of years I've had season hockey tickets.

To your first point.......then those from the "anti-hockey" crowd should just come right out and say that directly. To your second point I completely agree.

So we a tying the complete success to our MBB and FB programs to assistant coaches? That excuse is so overused and tiresome. 99% of assistant coaches in any sport at any college level are looking for a better gig. I do completely agree that there needs to be more dollars in the coaching salary pool for FB and BB though.

But UND is it known as a "hockey school"......whether that is right or wrong yet you have no problem with the redistribution of that program's revenue. The current REA agreement needs to be renegotiated to better terms for the other sports but here shouldn't be continued excuses for the MBB and FB programs to underachieve revenue wise. When the Alerus is 70% full attendance wise and MBB is even less I don't see how that is all on the hockey program. BTW I have yet to see any one claim that FB and BB need to "entirely carry their own weight" but I could have missed a post or two.

Can I buy you a plane ticket to Vegas to arbitrate their meeting?
