That $150,000 should pay for itself in 1-2 years though.

I've attempted to avoid this thread, as the drug scandal seems to have likely been blown out of proportion, but I've gotta say it's frustrating when Fargo media attempts to cover up negative ndsu stories while Grand Forks media sets the one "beat writer" for football, volleyball, M & W basketball, softball, soccer, track & field, and golf on an investigation of a golf course being closed 2.5 years ago during budget cuts in order to throw dirt on UND. In the meantime, coverage of all those sports is weak "due to lack of resources."

Or the bison fan(s) are happy to rip on UND for anything. Maybe UND just wanted money to build the HPC and saw they had some valuable land currently not returning much/if any $$ to the university, half of which UND paid for.

A board member made UND care about it.

Speculation or inside knowledge?

The family "pivoted" on the endowment and made it known they wanted the endowment set by contract or law. The family did this at the urging of Traynor, and then Traynor wonders why UND doesn't want to talk to him. What if college athletics are no longer a thing in 40 years? If UND did what Traynor wanted, they'd still be sponsoring men's golf in that scenario, whether the endowment is enough to pay all the expenses or not.

I guess I just assumed he's a grad assistant.

Sounds like he's back as a grad assistant.

Coming from the guy who says presidents make conference affiliation decisions, are you really surprised they don't want to affiliate with a school like Grand Canyon U?

He was a big recruit when he committed. Had previously been committed to Iowa.

Street drugs? Pretty sure you can get a prescription, and likely an NCAA waiver, for adderall.

Way to step up ladies!

More changes at Montana St.

The "lack high end finishers" excuse doesn't really hold water here. Do Canisius and Bemidji have more/better high end finishers/scorers than UND?

But calling himself a Sioux always gets the social media likes

Or Mario Lamoureux.... or Steph Pattyn. Those were some under-skilled guys who willed their teams to win.

Team needs to accept and embrace what they are.
