Star2city may have more on this, but from what I'm hearing in Bunning's meetings with staff is that UND was about 200,000 in debt the past year. DI does not seem to be his main agenda or concern (getting in the black is), but he will probably set up a committee. It does seem like he wants to play the Bison again since Minnesota is really our only big rival. Big revenue can be had playing NDSU, but I can't see FB doing it due to playoff implications. The Bison would also help those attendance numbers.
It also wouldn't surprise me to see a big capital gains push for the athletic department.
