Here’s to hoping Coach Sather takes the next step here at UND. I’m thinking he will … but he will require more support from UND administration and donors.

How did we ever win so many championships in the rat infested Hyslop?
Ahh yes … good players and good coaching … and the title of this thread is …
reality is in this day and age funds and facilities (mostly funds) drive acquisition of said players and coaches.
Little different era now in college athletics than the D2 days of the Hyslop

Maybe the men’s team should get more revenue like butts in the seats that equals to winning
Winning, environment, facilities all bring butts to the seats, not the other way around …
hockey gets the butts because of the Ralph and winning (mostly the Ralph). Pure and Simple.
Betty is underwhelming. Need new facility and wins to get the butts you speak of
funding and facilities are hot topics for und basketball and need to be to help take und athletics to the next level
Ag college of nd took und to the cleaners this year in both mens and women’s basketball … sad

The irony … extended 3-years after losing 83-66 at home to in-state rival…
I respect the work, but expectations are low. Raising pay is important, but won’t matter unless the job is opened to attract better candidates. It highlights UND MBB’s weak finances currently …likely the worst Summit League coaching job. Hockey hockey hockey. No reallocation to help the little guy, just keep recycling to the bell cow. Strategy is a bit stale I’d say but it is the culture.
Hope funding improves soon.

Maybe our SID could pry himself from hockey and update the coaching list too.
Ok, fine, I’ll hold back on the profanity and criticism for now on this …. but … the clock is ticking.

UND men’s basketball needs more support / private donations but also I think it’s time to try a new strategy and voice in the room …
-
This one still burns. I’m okay with a new coach / direction again at UND … same ol’ same ol’ ain’t cutting it

No. To pump the brakes would be incorrect.

The recruiting battles we need to win are against SDSU.
You’re just being foolish now.
Being obsessed with the ag college of Fargo is one thing, but pure ignorance is another. You’re overcompensating by heavily riding on the latter. It’s just not based in reality.
But yes, also beat out SDSU …

Not saying ignore but stop obsessing over this. We just need to focus on what is best for us.
Yeah, hence “Continue to grow the following for UND football. Only so many supporters. Continue to recruit North Dakota and the Midwest and win recruiting battles.

Ag college failure puts more pressure on them to rely on taxpayer dollars, which they may be set up to get by with for now, but not indefinitely- their arrogance will eventually blow up in their face when students and taxpayers (and eventually the conference) have had enough.
Who knows, maybe we’ll all be friends and follow this move with others to FBS as others have said. And it will all be fine …
Time will tell, but ignoring NDSU as you suggest isn’t an option … there’s major interplay here in the small state of North Dakota.

I think they caved to a very loud, but small group that pumped their ego so high, they actually believe that they will get a power 4 school to actually come to Fargo and play then now that they are FBS. They still have this unrealistic view of them selves, and think that they can compete with anyone in the FBS. It is gonna be very interesting to see how the recruiting actually goes, as well
NDSU obligated to INCREASE football spendingEveryone is drinking the Fargo ag college Kool-aid. Of course, I hope they fail.
The proposed funding model and the required funding increase to ag college football (per their contract with the MW) along with the inevitable pressure it will put on state taxpayers (who don’t care about ag college) is the most b*llshit part of this. Biggest arrogant f*cks around come out of Fargo ag football …
But UND needs to make it hard on them and focus on themselves; keep winning on and off the field, and Schmidt’s group most certainly will …

Just listened to his 360 interview with him. What an exciting first commit. Just a flat-out head to head over NDSU. Based on some of the teams that were lurking, this could really turn into a big-time commit.
Future Pro
Will be a great leader for the 2027 class.
He’s signing and arriving spring semester 2027; will get here early just like Aidan Wunderlich and others did.

It has about 150 names of athletes who've received offers from UND, visited on Junior Days, and have generally been reached out to by the football staff. I'll update it as often as I can, but give a little grace when there's a new announcement. We're currently sitting at 45 offers, and I'm sure there will be plenty more, with three more Junior Days planned this spring!
Excellent work!
2026 is best class in UND football history and 2027 will be better yet …

UND feels it would be inappropriate to steal a revenue stream intended for actual nonprofits.
I can appreciate the gesture and morals, but it won’t win or accomplish anything for UND.
No one is going to write a check because UND is so unbelievably morally sound, but athletics and winning (whether you like it or not) does yield significant support in this day and age.
Revenue via Hockey only (the Ralph) won’t work by itself. THE University of North Dakota has too many alumni who want UND athletics to be more than just hockey when it comes to athletics.
Aggressive fundraising is necessary, and it has been lacking; it doesn’t have to be completely immoral.

Not discounting what you're saying but some additional clarity is that over 7 figures of that is coming from their gaming, not donors.
Still room to make up on UND's part though.
UND athletics needs to continue to push the envelope. There are certainly ways to be creative (and some of it is just hard work and effort along with vision, to be frank) and improve fundraising, specifically for football.

Exactly what I would expect from him lol I have zero faith…
Andy Armacost needs to make a statement, not Bill Chaves. Sorry Bill, but UND currently has only one true leader.

UND football on TV around the state would be significantly better than Midco … in my opinion. Let rural North Dakota and western North Dakota witness the rise of UND football …

Fair predictions but I don’t agree.
UND beats Nebraska and thus owns the FCS in ‘26. I’ve seen this story before. Ya’ll better get ready to go.
