Consider your self lucky. They usually just pull up the nearest tree or bush.

You mean the windows?

To my knowledge I have never heard of the AD of NDSU calling alumni asking for money to bid on a playoff game.

UND Fan Members 4,915 posts Report post Posted 10 hours ago Chaves used the max the university could authorize ($50K) and then went out and found another $25K. It is likely that our bid was among the highest but simply wasn’t higher than Nichols. What more did you want him to do? Did you contribute?

I couldnt agree more. And Im not saying that to bust your chops. You guys made the playoffs and he didnt put you in a position to be successful. You could have been playing at home. If this would have been hockey they would have robbed the vault.

Oh please. LOL So your administration didnt think you could pull in more than 50K $$$ in attendance. Hell 8k at 30.00 gets you 240k. Or doesnt your AD know how to make that presentation????

So you are telling me that the AD of the supposed flagship university didnt get this approved ahead of time? Or are you telling me that the supposed flagship university would only approve 50k to bring a playoff game to your campus? I find this to be incredible.

I am home. But thats some pretty good humor considering the situation as you guys really arent known for it.

And it could be hot and humid. Thats would suck.

Now thats a blast from the past and still funny!!!

Who said your bid was substantial???? You got outbid by a tent and portable crappers.

Oh i get that and the strategy.

The NCAA will take the bid amount or 75% OF THE GATE or which ever is higher.

Toe to toe? Oh wait? What?

Dude nobody is really serious on that thread except for your brethren lakes.

This makes me sad. What a great football player.

Absolutely. They are more worried about the adherence to the minutia of bull crap rules than rooting out serious problems. ex The NCAA made a female sports team reimburse th university for the water they used for a fund raising car wash while sport shoe companies are paying recruits to go to certain school. The disparity of those two issues is astounding.

Have you not read about the NCAA mens basketball investigations?????

College kids and supposed amateurs have been getting paid under the table in all sports since time immemorial. Heck the NCAA was making money off of the kids they were putting the screws to. What promotions are you referring to? Be specific.

I agree. We flew in to Youngstown on game day. Then had to lay around a hotel all day in meeting rooms. It killed us. We were flat and tired. Got beat by a not so good YSU that day.

You mean like the UND fans who post on BV???? Or you could make this venue private so you could immerse yourself in your own echo chamber.
