http://www.inforum.com/sports/4247564-all-individual-sports-ndsu-und-lose-money-annual-financial-report-indicates This article from 4/7/2017 lists $10.4 M for non-specific athletics revenue for UND. That means it's revenue that is not tied directly to a sport (e.g. champion's club, merchandise, tv rights). If you offset the losses per sport with that revenue, UND athletics had a buget deficit of $1.4 M for the year. While we would all like to see this number in the black, it certainly isn't as bad as listing all the sports and their losses. Per the article, NDSU attributes some of their donations and merchandise sales to specific sports making them look more profitable on paper than UND's.

This might explain a great deal. moser53 has been referencing a different planet this whole time.

I would add to that that FF is also considered a stellar person, so that wasn't the issue. If that's how Brew "takes charge", he's an even worse leader than I thought.

I think what you're saying is pretty accurate. I've never been a fan of Brewster as a coach and I'm hoping this program has a new direction in the near future. Basketball mediocrity at UND has been accepted for far too long.

Maybe he's confused and means the games will be on Midco?

The team really showed a lot in the second half. I had given up, but they didn't down 19 with 10:00 to go. Great Win!

Watching live, I thought it should have been a clear path foul once Geno stole the ball. After seeing the replay there is no doubt that should have been called. It didn't end up hurting us, but the refs really missed that one.

I can't wait to never have to watch a game on Pluto TV again. Pure and utter garbage.

Agree with this. I think that's a heavy saturation in our area. The weekend slot should help and we may get some traveling to GF if the smaller venues all sell out. While the prices may seem high, if we want big acts to come to town, we probably have to pay the price.

I bought on the Spotify presale. I think the two ticket limit was only for the fan club presale, but I could be wrong. I guess if they cancel my order, I would have to find another option.

I bet those were amazing shows. Live music is hard to beat.

Got four tickets and can't wait to see Metallica! Well worth it since there is no travel or hotel room required for once. Really happy with the efforts by new Alerus management.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/columns/4410612-commentary-womens-hockey-program-und-died-because-few-were-supporting-it While this "article" is positive in that it calls out the financial and attendance failings of WH, it also fails to mention the Champion's Club money generated (mostly by MH). Since UND does not account for those dollars as part of the revenues by sport, it makes all the programs look bad. Port loves calling out other people for bending a story to fit their narrative, but has no problem doing it himself.

Welcome to UND! Very glad to have you here.

Looks like the match will be available on the BTN app on Roku, in addition to the live stream online. You might need to login with your cable credentials to access it.

Absolutely. I agree with you on the necessity of hiring a search firm for an important position like the AD.

The ND Legislature changed the open records law during the 2017 session. Applicant records for all positions are now considered "confidential" and can only be disclosed once three finalists (or less if there are limited qualified candidates) are selected. Hopefully, this allows all public entities in the state to attract more qualified candidates. Here is the related section from the ND Century Code. 44-04-18.27. Applications for public employment - Hiring process - Confidential records and open records. If a public entity or any person delegated authority by a public entity to review applications or make hiring decisions receives applications from three or more applicants who meet the minimum qualifications for a vacant position, the public entity or other person shall designate three or more of the qualified applicants as finalists for further consideration before the public entity or other person may issue an offer of employment to fill the position. However, if the public entity or other person does not wish to consider any of the applications further and decides not to make an offer of employment for the vacant position, the public entity need not designate any finalist. The applications and any records related to the applications which contain information that could reasonably be used to identify an applicant are confidential, except records related to finalists are open to the public after the finalists are designated. The public entity or other person reviewing applications on behalf of the public entity shall comply with all requirements for an executive session to discuss confidential applications. If, by the close of the application period for a vacant position, a public entity receives applications from fewer than three applicants who meet the minimum qualifications, the applications and records related to the applications are open to the public.

So you would have preferred a separate thread for this discussion so people could have avoided it if they so chose? That would be fair.

I don't think they did. In my recollection, they retired all Native American imagery and retained the Illini name as a person living in Illinois.

I think it's fair to point out that by "most" you mean a few people posting on a UND men's hockey message board, where support for this tradition would be extremely high. It's possible you would get a different response from fans of other teams or the general public. That being said, I respect the opinions of those that disagree with me on the issue.
