Oxymoron if there ever was one.

He could end up like Spicer.

6 GMs? No wonder they can't get their act together.

They also better check to make sure a local high school doesn't use the name they pick.

My problem isn't with the Student-Athletes, it's with the NCAA and their horrible mismanagement over the decades.

I don't like the trends either and it is not sustainable in the long-run.

You are assuming a lot about what will happen to these players in the future. Most of them will turn out just fine.

The targets on this forum are the people who implemented Peterson's Porch, not the people who purchase seats there. If you want to purchase seats there, that is your choice. But that doesn't mean people have to support the concept.

Want more revenue? Becoming a perennial FCS contender would solve a lot of the problems discussed here.

If a P5 program offers an NDSU player an opportunity to play at a higher level, no way that kid says no. NDSU zealots may think they are high end FBS material, but they are not. Neither is anyone in the MVFC or FCS in general. The dumpster fire that is college athletics will benefit the mega conferences at the expense of everyone else. And this model is not sustainable.

I actually like the NODAK jerseys as an alternate jersey.

There are more good than bad people. It's just that the bad get more attention; thus, it seems like there are more of them.

I am fine with the current goal song/school song combo. Lot more important issues than that.

I don't get it either. It's one of those bureaucratic talking points that drives people nuts.

End of Town Hall. Everyone was polite and considerate. Good back and forth between fans and suits.

Closing: People in front office are just as passionate and want to win just as much as fans do. They don't like losing either.

Belief is that collective will allow us to compete at the highest level with peer institutions. Wants to do it the right way with integrity.

1883 Collective being discussed. NIL new concept.

Questions about Midco and television coverage. Midco contract remains the same. Midco says nothing will change with UND coverage. Midco all in with UND.

Our investments have been higher than some peer schools recently; acknowledged that we were behind several years ago.

Comparisons with other schools not apples to apples. Budget for FB is on top end of FCS.

Overall athletic budgets being discussed.

Not sure. Turnout is decent.

Changes at Betty made to appeal to casual basketball fans. Also to enhance development for student-athletes.

Agree 1000%
