He has certainly made some mistakes. His handling of Ray Richards golf course was bad and he apparently misread the Mcgarry situation. Because he opened that door, his (and UND's) detractors have had the opportunity to feed a narrative that UND can't be trusted with your money and legacy.

Yeah that's not very funny and also not real appropriate.

Are we concerned about the team being able to make it to Denver?

Good to hear. Hopefully these announced gifts can help reshape the narrative to regain the faith of the typical 3-5 figure donor, which I think has been hurt by Mcgarry and the Herald.

But I was told all donors hate him

How is academic experience measured? It's not like we are Kennedy's first higher education job.

Good point. I moved the posts to

Most here would probably agree with you.

When he was playing this year, it seemed we were always trying to set him up for unsuccessful one-timers from the top of the circle. I'm wondering if his future isn't in front of the net. It'd be great to have a skilled solid body up front to clean up rebounds and I think he's got the grit to do it. Someone else had mentioned him filling the Pony role earlier too. I believe scpa said Adams would have 20+ points if he was playing for SCSU right now. Sadly I can't argue against that.

Official announcement made.

And it's spring break.

Just gotta go bigger and shinier.... with a stock ticker running along every wall

Agreed. Hasn't stopped kids from signing before though. Not expecting them all, or any of them really, to sign early, but I could see them doing it.

It had a decent amount of work done on it around 10-12 years ago I believe. Gamble Hall is a dump compared to Barry Hall. UND needs to regain supremacy over the ndac with regard to business school facilities. But I don't think we can expect the state to help much in that fight.

Gamble Hall, while cosmetically and spatially deficient, is still in pretty good shape by state standards. They're not likely going to pay to replace a safe, usable building.... outside of Fargo.

One more conspiracy theory crushed under the weight of truth.

I'm starting to think Stockdamhockey was right about this guy.

I found it interesting that he was hurt and likely done for the season until Scheel got hurt and then poof! He was healed. I have no inside knowledge there though.

I could see Poolman, Mismash, and Thome as early signings. Could also see Adams and Rieger leaving.

Ah, unfortunately challenge grant money can't be used for building projects (anymore).

There's a difference between 1 donor coming in with $20 million specifically for a project and the foundation using some of their undesignated reserves.
