    First of all, people who are paid by the hour (as you were using hourly pay in your example), don't travel on business.  You were suggesting college athletes should be getting free meals and trips, and also counted those hours towards your minimum wage example.  I get what you were saying, but i felt you went a little too far with your examples.  

    The last 2 jobs I have held, both healthcare related, have paid by the hour and have paid for me to go on business trips (including meeting time, travel time, airfare, hotel, meals, etc). Just sayin’

    I am blown away that he takes a technically lower position and gets a raise from around 100K to around 200K, mind blowing...

    This is why UND, NDSU, the Montana’s and the rest don’t go FBS. 

    Plus, Special Teams Co-ordinator is not necessarily a step down.

    It's hard for me to tell how good this class is since almost all recruits have accolades coming out of High School.  Those who follow more closely - what grade would you give this class so far?  Do we have many recruits with other BCS offers for example.  I know we still need some big bodies and are excited about our QB prospects.

    Bubba’s recruits always seem to have great potential. The question is can this staff help them develop that potential to the fullest? Starting with S&C ... all the way to stopping 3rd and long or finding intensity for a playoff game.

    The clock starts for all students, not just athletes, regardless of participation.

    The clock starts with either the first day of practice or the first day of class, whichever comes first.

    Thank you both for the clarification 

  5. And the clock starts even if a student athlete is only practicing with the team (practice squad) and does not see any actual intercollegiate playing time? Even if a PWO, with no scholarship?

    didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

    Ah yes, student athletes certainly deserve to lose their opportunity to play collegiate athletics because other people 15 years ago did something legal that others didn't like. Makes perfect sense. 

    At what point does UND deserve karma for having a benefactor who held a nazi memorabilia party? Or is that different because it's UND?

    We didn’t have a true deep threat. Having one of those opens up a whole world of possibilities for an offense.

    Maybe the narrative would be different if Ketteringham didn’t overthrow almost every deep pass he attempted

    Also, what is concerning to me is that tweet that Chaves put out. I understand the financial issues we face and it may not be an option to fire Bubba but don’t tweet that you look forward to building on the success that Bubba has had. Bubba should be on a very short leash, it makes Chaves look foolish supporting this type of mediocrity and makes me question his thought process. 

    Too much time left in Bubba’s contract. If he leaves (especially now), it will have to be his choice. Either retirement or moving into an ancillary (think fundraising and baby kissing) position. Chaves is just bound by what happened after Bubba was given the extension following the first playoff appearance, Big Sky co-championship and Coach of the Year. And, at the time, most, if not all, of the posters in this forum thought it was a good thing.  ...   At the time.

    Doesn't the hockey team has their own food program? Not starting a hockey vs football war but couldn't there be some cross over between programs?

    If 52% of football revenues go to REA, then why aren’t the other athletes (all UND athletes) in that food program?

    you are right. That is a dumb question. But the answer is the same as the reason there isn't a bug in the visitors locker room in the Alerus or the Fargodome. Maybe I am wrong. There may be UND staff member or an NDSU staff member holding an empty glass to the door of the visitors locker room at halftime. Who knows. While I get the locker room situation may not be ideal, I have heard some former college players saying they would gladly take a very spacious tent right next to the stadium over some very small cramped visitor locker rooms a 5 minute walk from the stadium. 

    Hanging around a tent is not the same thing as putting a glass to a door. That’s a dumber answer to my dumb question.

  11. Has anyone done a search to find out how much Northern Iowa and/or Illinois State bid? It would seem that they should be UND’s most probable unseeded opponents.

    Or is it that UND was considered #8 or #9 in the unseeded field. That would translate into the second round game being at NDSU. Also, it would put the Hawks at about #16 or #17 in the entire field, which also seems about right.

    Just having a difficult time blaming Chaves on the bid amount. This is not his first rodeo and he would have had experience at EWU in submitting bids. The flip side of that is EWU probably only had to make the minimum bid, since they have been seeded most of the time.

    And, finally, why is Nichols even allowed to host playoff games? This is so much more egregious than having a Native American nickname. The locker room situation is apparently not a new development. No wonder they are undefeated at home.
