You are serious? I guess I can do that. Stay tuned to this forum for future updates.

A&M probably built relationships with benefactors that have paid off and will continue to pay off for them. Although I wouldn't want boosters to have that much power.

Are you baiting me to do it? Because I am leaning towards doing just that.

I suggested doing just that a few weeks ago on this forum and was told it wouldn't make enough of an impact to matter. And no need to make it personal.......son.

That's the point, we don't reach out to donors and/or potential donors. It's been documented on this forum that Champions Club members are often times not contacted and followed up with. NDSU is way better at staying in touch with their benefactors. Look, I am just thermonuclear pi$$ed off right now. But I do think UND needs to be more proactive and assertive when it comes to fundraising for athletics.

Finally something we agree on! I would also be happy to contribute to a buyout. But I would gladly settle for no extension for Bubba.

They made changes to their staff. UND will just pretend everything is fine as it is. Like you are doing.

You are not even interested in looking for donors to fund a buyout. That is the apathetic attitude I have no patience for.

I honestly don't give a rat's a$$ what happens in Vermilion next week. But I suppose USD will shut them down and have no problem scoring points.

Honestly, if Chaves extends Bubba, then HE should get a pink slip.

Let's hope so, I am in no mood for a loss to a .500 team.

But according to @Sioux>Bison, this is as good as it will ever get, so we should just put up and shut up.

If we don't have the $$$$$, then that is a failure of fundraising. If you want to choose to believe that there are no more potential donors out there, that is your right. But I don't think we are tapping all potential funding sources. And I don't mean having more 50/50 raffles either. We have been running a Division I athletic department with a Division II funding model for 15 years now and I refuse to believe that is all there is. Either we put up or shut up and GO BACK TO DIVISION TWO.

I think a change in leadership could give our better athletes a jump start.

No, your "nothing we can do about it" attitude is the root of the problem.

Enough of the excuses and alibis. With your attitude, we might as well join the Pioneer League or drop the program.

Gotta tie it first.

We stopped them!

Maybe not fired, but there better not be a contract extension either.

Is Rudolph running the offense remotely?

He also ran the program into the ground. After Roebuck's players graduated, everything went down the toilet. You want to go back to that?

If we don't get into the end zone on our first possession, I think it's game over.

And that also falls on the coaches. Recruiting needs to improve.

Are you kidding? Getting a home playoff game almost ensures another 5 year contract extension for Bubba. It's the UND way.
