I really like the early commits we're getting this year. With today's NIL money you have to be prepared to replace big contributors every year, and Schmitty seems to be on track for doing that.
Yes. Continue to contribute to collective (1883 Sports) and 701 Award (UND internal NIL). Every little bit helps.

I welcome any news about UND football. I feel like we should be very competitive this coming year. I am not smart enough to know if we have all the bases covered but am confident we have great coaches.
UND should win the national championship, but there’s a reason they play the games. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

I was wondering. Down the road now when NDSU might have a one game post season some years playing a meaningless game are the bison fans going to be disinterested and start following and supporting UND football on their journey to a national title. We might start to increase our fan base. Fun to see what will happen.
This is the most likely scenario.

Didn't have 24 teams for most of them and a lot of the top teams then are now FBS. FCS is slowly going the way of D2
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 …

They story goes he wanted $250k base Chavez said no
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?

Here's an idea. Drop both MBB and WBB since they both are dead anyway and restart women's hockey with Brad Frost as coach. We're a hockey school and the women's program was on the rise when it was cut. Am I crazy or what??
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

Greyson is good as gone, apparently good bye party last night. On a better note, Anderson might get his San Jose state eligibility year back.
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

GF is half the college town now it was back in the 60-70's.
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 …

The MAC seems about as thrilling as the prospect of Summit League football. I would never consider the MAC a step up from the MVFC.
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.

The Alerus Center needs a ribbon board above the suites, like any major venue has.
5 hours ago, SIOUXFAN97 said:cut some windows ....add an outdoor porch for drinking and smoking during teh game
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 …

That is exactly what that sounds like. As a contractor, I can understand why someone would protest, if the bid process was not public, as it is supposed to be.
1 hour ago, UNDBIZ said:Looks like the Alerus staff dropped the ball here. Public bidding can be a slow and seemingly dumb process, but it exists for a reason.
1 hour ago, UNDDOM said:The city said with recent change to state law, they were under the impression they could use a cooperative purchasing agreement with Source Well, who is a collective buying group. Source Well puts out their own RFPs, scores them and Daktronics was the most qualified... Dana Sande is on the radio talking about this now.
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 …

Seems someone wasn’t paying attention and then cried when it was too late…Daktronics is the cream of the crop and employs a lot of UND grads. LucentHD is a GF business and has done some big projects but scoring and timing systems are something you don’t mess around with. The Ralph, Betty, and US Bank Stadium use Daktronics. It’s a shame we probably won’t have these upgrades by football season.
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.

I would not be in favor of playing them unless we got home and away game plus fair amount of money to go there. That will never happen to big of ego blow for them. I see mountain West didn’t give them much of schedule for home. northern Illinois, Utep, Nevada, and finally Wyoming not one top team of conference coming here these would have been teams they could beat on road. If we take care of business this year we could capture local media coverage as they sit home and not playing until following fall. They don’t think that’s not going to hurt them and then upping ticket prices for this home scheduled I will be curious who they get to come here I got feeling it’s going to be difficult get somebody good know one wants to take risk to new FBS program where they could loose. I don’t feel sorry for them and we’ll see how this turns out.
Financially it will never make sense for an FBS to visit a FCS school. Fargo and the big heads would never agree to play in Grand Forks again anyways.
Game will be only in Fargo or be on hold again for X number of years until UND goes FBS, which does need to happen in 3-5 years.
In the meantime, start to (and need to) dominate the FCS.

BJ got a bag and Tyree likely got decent bag the second time.
No doubt many left for more money. But as we’ve seen around the country and even here at UND in other sports (hockey and football), players will stay despite $$ offers if you have the right plan and fit for them here. Tradition, culture and fit still matters some.
The coach is very important in that plan.
And having an NIL that is at least in the ballpark is also important. UND basketball doesn’t even have a trace of NIL right now and that needs to change or 3rd in the conference is the best we can all hope for … oh, and the coaching ….

I’m obviously no sather defender but I don’t know how much of the retention issues you can put on him. Maybe a few role players his personality could have drove them away, but any all league guy is gone from any school. It’s simply money. Take the highest paid guy in the summit and I’m sure he can easily make 2 or 3 times that (if not more) at a high major
Everyone knows about Treysen, but the other guys he’s lost didn’t go out and get big time dollars. There was also apparently a component of just wanting something different.
I’ll admit, because it is true, that Sather is definitely not the only issue with UND basketball. The program needs way more support for the 1000th time. Lack of NIL for basketball is hurting as much as coaching, if not more.

Sather’s our coach next year, it is what it is. What’s more interesting than debating whether he should be or not I think is what’s going to happen whenever our season ends, whether that’s Friday night, Saturday, or sometime else. Who’s staying and who’s going? Mainly looking at Uelmen, A3, and the Curtis twins. Beyond that, I think it is what it is.
Some of the lack of retention issues are due to Sather. So yes, Sather will remain, and so will mass departures after the players get to know their coach.
I’d guess most if not all of the major contributors leave and UND MBB is once again starting over for 2026-2027…

Basketball will always be the Red Headed Step Child at UND whenever it's compared to hockey and football. There's only so many resources to go around I just don't see them ever sitting at the big table with the others. I'm not bashing them, just pointing out the reality of the situation.
You’re correct, unfortunately for UND MBB…
but that doesn’t mean you settle for mediocrity and just hand out extensions like candy
try find a diamond in the rough, up and comer young coach who will be the next superstar … who knows what happens
doing this Chaves extension thing doesn’t look quite as good now as it did a couple weeks ago, and it didn’t look great then either

Isn’t coaches job to raise nil funds
If you actually care about winning in this day and age, then yes, it is one of many head coaching responsibilities.
Many coaches are getting out of the profession as such but it is in fact now one of the responsibilities if you want to be successful.
