UND-FB-FAN

Coming soon it sounds like …

This is the most likely scenario.

Yeah and NDSU is still basically D2. G5 vs P4 gap remains just that wide. Difference is NDSU paid $20M just to paint an illusion whereas other top FCS teams are being strategic while still being able to compete for real championships in January. What pathetic fragile egos in Fargo …

The more time goes on the more it seems Chavez is a fool What does it take to get a competent AD running the show for UND? Local “bleeds green” hire? No more outside hires like Faison and Chaves?

wtf is a hockey school? That model doesn’t exist anywhere in division one in the country other than, supposedly, Grand Forks, ND … maybe that’s why UND athletics is so god damn amateur

Pathetic. Hard to get behind UND basketball if they can’t even keep one kid… they need to invest in Greyson for one more year and let him chase $ after one more season with UND

All while the town (GF) and college (UND) continues to support more and more students (increasing enrollment) and more and more infrastructure … nice try Bison “ the troll” Dan … and Fargo ain’t a college town either, more like a crime destination dumpster fire …

Yesterday’s news:

If appreciable TV revenue becomes a part of the deal, then the MAC (FBS) would be a step up from the MVFC and UND should pursue. The relationship already in place with some of the schools via hockey should be entertained. Otherwise, from an on the field perspective, I agree; the MAC is essentially the same if not worse than the MVFC.

Paying over $4 million for the same setup (but marketed better resolution) is pretty generic and lazy in my opinion. If Daktronics or LucentHD, or whoever, gets the contract, they *should* be working with the city and Alerus Center staff (and UND) to enhance the atmosphere, not replicate it. Ribbon boards above the suites and/or covering more of the tin with video boards is a great start. Daktronics or LucentHD won’t be able to change the lack of natural light issue, but a contractor that can address that would be priceless. More natural light in the Alerus Center would be phenomenal for the atmosphere in my opinion …

Correct

Okay, some blame to go around (as has happened in the past with Alerus Center), but will this contract cancellation and open bid process really change the outcome in any meaningful positive way? Unfortunately, likely only will affect it in a negative way, but that is now the path we’re going down… and sure, laws are laws, albeit some ambiguity here. Hopefully the process is expedited and Daktronics is still appropriately awarded the contract and the opportunity to actually improve the situation inside the Alerus Center …

This is atrocious. I recommend writing to the Alerus Center and City of Grand Forks citing these concerns with hopes to still expedite the process for football season. Again, this is ridiculous. Yes, Alerus Center is city-owned, but it is also important we don’t relegate ourselves to elementary levels by employing only local businesses. We deserve top-notch state of the art technology, especially if trying to enhance our game-day atmosphere. Go with Daktronics. Get this done, do it right. As for LucentHD, strive to simply be better, maybe you’ll get offered in the future, and stop complaining. When it comes down to it, the City of Grand Forks and Alerus Center need to balance out fiscal and legal responsibility while actually enhancing the quality of the product (video boards and associated technology) being asked for.

Third time the charm? Often can be

Wouldn’t even make the top 100 for what the NDSU bozos do… Chuck will be fine. good kid and will make a huge impact in 2026.
