You'd see what other offers you could find and if the best offer you could get was 1mil for the patch after negotiating, then you crunch the numbers to see if that will move the needle or if it's selling out. But, apparently if making sound business decisions isn't tenable then I guess telling titan machinery to f off and that you don't want any of their money is one way to go. However, you won't have many advertisers left. Believe it or not, businesses aren't in the business of making random donations just because of passion or fun. They want a return on their investment. For some businesses, that's actually more important than which team they support. Having your logo on a basketball jersey that makes the NCAA tournament is a lot more valuable than a logo on a football jersey of a team with two D1 playoff wins.

Pretty disappointed in this. Berry also won a few random things in his first year and then underperformed through the rest of his contract and extension. I'd like to see a bigger body of work before throwing a ton of money at the staff. They couldn't even win the ncaa tittle in their first year. Very underwhelming.

If he was going gracefully, as some in the athletic department expected, he would have finished out in 2025 after receiving the NCHC Media Excellence Award. It was well known that he was "gracefully" going to leave after the 24-25 season... until he decided he wasn't. That put a lot of strain on the athletic department when multiple times - at the last minute - he couldn't do games and they had to scramble for replacements this season.

Nothing will change... unless Tim isn't retained

Or..... they're trolling and people are taking the bait

Unlike other CHL guys leaving for NCAA, their team knows they're gone after next season so they'll be able to announce earlier.

Medicine Hat coach is 69 year old Willie Desjardins who has been heavily responsible for the Rucks' development. It would be very interesting if he was planning on retiring after next season and the Ruck twins wanted to return for one more go-round.

$5mil to start a dept of dermatology

I think they cut tennis to fund hockey, football, mbb, and wbb in that order.

UND football has a number of players from lower conferences and divisions who excelled but did nothing in a higher level.

That's a weird response, but when you're a mindreader I suppose you can assume whatever you want. I posted about gas prices in north Fargo and the factual reason they're higher. Others felt it was political. If rising gas prices affecting the GF economy is political, then you must believe it's because of politicians that the gas prices are high. But, literally everything about the GF economy boils down to political decisions.

One sport in a few conferences vs all sports at every university.

I see this as the start of a shift towards club teams not affiliated with universities, much like the rest of the world does it. There are multiple downsides, including the ability to attract students who normally wouldn't attend UND, attracting international students who bring their experience to the classroom, universities now become a sports minor league that also offers education.

Clearly, it's a very fine line. Actions by the US government has led to skyrocketing gas prices affecting the theme of this thread. Actions by the US government has caused confusion amongst universities affecting the theme of other threads.

I'm not your buddy, pal. Is it politics that gas prices are high and there are ships not bringing oil to the rest of the world? If so, then everything is politics. Tennis getting cut is politics, UAV projects with UND are politics, UND funding is politics.

UND men's basketball has around a $100,000 a year budget for paying players, 10% of ORU and STU. With UND opting in, they can directly use part of the savings to get and retain players in revenue sports.

Just filled up in north Fargo for $3.89. That's up 45 cents from last Thursday. Lots of empty ships sitting in the gulf and even more on the way, but no end in sight of the self-induced skyrocketing prices.

He has a history that the NHL clubs operating AHL teams don't really tolerate. Add in that he's sucked in any AHL games he's played and he'll never get higher than the ECHL. He could have gone to Europe for more money but again, he's got a reputation that other teams don't want to bring in.

Really informative quote from Hutter Coach Hutter on Jacobson: "We're really excited to have Mia joining the Fighting Hawk family. We think Mia will add great value to our team both on and off the floor. I think our fans are going to be very excited to see her skill and athleticism when they see her play

Not to rain on the parade, but I wouldn't plan on the Ruck twins coming to UND. There wasn't much chatter between them and UND a month ago

For UND it seems to be...

Pull up the championship game highlights on YouTube. Go grab a few bottles of alcohol and take a shot for every time Bucci yells "shot." https://youtu.be/22q5YYSi4bE?si=tTVVNGGrINAKV6Zo

If McKenna is smart, he'd put his name in for the transfer portal to keep his options open for next year. He of course could always go back to Penn St, but his drafting team may want him to go to a different school and the only way he could do that is if he enters the portal as soon as it opens.

Zellers turns 20 tomorrow. In net, I'd think Kotai,Hrabel, and Hicks are the top 3.
