@Goon now I'm just calling you out because you're ignoring answering the question despite posting on other topics here and then continuing to comment about this on twitter and on top of it, trying to send one of the biggest Duluth trolls out there to do it for you. If you're going to be vocal in your defense, state your case instead of taking pot shots at those who have laid out legitimate arguments on a different platform.

UND offers more sports, particularly non-revenue women sports and to provide those opportunities to student-athletes, they use a higher percentage of school and student fees than NDSU, who are laughable in their men:women ratio, one of the 10 lowest in the nation. And UND's percentage of subsidies ranks is less than 2/3's of other D-1 schools. Now can you answer my question that you ignored? What are you basing your answer on that NDSU is further ahead of this than people think?

And the MVFC champ got rolled by one of those weak Big Sky teams not to mention went 4-3 as a conference against the MVFC. But we've hashed that over enough times already.

They are registered as a non-profit, but that does not mean they don't try to make a profit. It gives them tax advantages that allows them to further help UND, which is what the whole point of the REA.

Flowers is announcing his signing today with the with top 4 being Michigan State, Colorado, San Diego St and Boise St. No word on the other two, though Williams just got an offer from MSU Moorhead two weeks ago, so not sure who, if anyone on your list, is actually still recruiting him.

Can't be too much of a savings, they were only using single ply.

Based on what? The non-answer you got over on bisonville ? The staff buyouts, which actually was in the paper a few weeks ago, is the only thing that has been publicly mentioned and that was done before Burgum's additional cuts came out.

The question was if there would be a surprise today on a late commit or someone backing out. Here is the actual exchange:

Getting Ott's signature has to be a huge sigh of relief for the staff.

I know reading comprehension isn't your strong point, but as the article states, UND doesn't have as much to cut this time since they did more than just kick the can down the road, though obviously not enough to absorb the full, new proposed cuts. However Kennedy has released a statement and UND has set up a web page that lists tangible targets and will be used to keep people informed. Now that we've cleared up your deflection, has ndsu publicly acknowledged the cuts let alone mention how they are going to address them?

@Goon - Can you lay out why WIH shouldn't be cut instead of just being offended that people think it is the most logical cut. The reasons why it should definitely be considered have been laid out, I'm curious why you don't think it should be on the table.

I know that Chapman tried to bankrupt NDSU but UND handled its projected deficit before it came to that point (caused by the legislature capping tuition after the budget was made) but they cleaned it up and are going to end the biennium without real deficit (big difference, just trust me on that one). UND didn't get anywhere near as far down that path as NDSU did. The biggest difference I see is that a large amount of UND supporters don't have an issue criticizing or questioning the administration at UND, but you won't find much of any supporters doing the same with NDSU despite some very well publicized issues and decisions from the last two presidents that were more than worthy of being ripped.

Funny comment coming from the guy who spends his time following everything said on a UND message board.

Hitting the sauce a little hard on a Sunday? Zero chance of expanding the fargodome how you described and with state budget cuts, FargoU had no chance of paying for its own stadium. The city of Fargo isn't chipping in, the fargodome meets their needs. Not to mention either of those would have been at least announced by now to be in place by the 2020 season. And what in the hell benefit would the Mountain West get out of that kind of arrangement?

At least the NAU announced are great.

The former FargoU cornerback that was interviewed on the news the other night basically stated that exact thing.

Can we get an update on the conference head to head records between the NCHC and B6G? I know how important that was to you earlier this season in determining which conference was better.

Confused why you care or why it matters? The talk is that NDSU will be FBS by 2020 so that they don't have to play UND.

Seems redundant.

I love that you post your own self portraits.

Q!!!!!!! Also 54. Fifty four fouls called. Unbelievable.

51 fouls and counting. Can't wait for the refs to decide this one at the buzzer. They are going to surprise everone and not call something blatant.

Unbelievable. Any contact whatsoever is a foul. Geno and Q just need to drive every trip down the floor, guaranteed free throws.

UND called for breathing to hard.

Terrible first half, great adjustments at the half. The refs are making sure everyone knew they are there, unbelievable.
