UNDBIZ

The offended birds poop on the ndsu bus.

I think his point was if UND is going to be a "hockey school" then hockey needs to carry the athletic department, rather than holding the money for itself. IMO, hockey and the REA do a lot for the athletic department. With that said, could they do more without detrimentally affecting the hockey coaches, players, and fans? Absolutely.

For those of you upset with the current UND hawk logo, what are you looking for in a hawk logo? Muscles? Teeth? Snarling? Can you throw out examples of other schools' bird logos that you like? I'd imagine UND will eventually have another logo that will either be the primary or secondary athletics logo, so I'm curious if anything could make you happy.

Would prefer Wisconsin as the opponent, but oh well. Nashville sounds fun.

Really not hard to distinguish.

Well what's $15 to someone like you anyway?

hmm

Also, you never want to have a big public divorce with a big former donor. Doesn't give other potential donors warm fuzzies.

In the short term, yes. Lot of hope/trust that maintaining a relationship will lead to future donations.

Something something... great minds... something

There's probably an intramural team or 2 playing there under that name. Get their schedule next fall.

It is apparent these boards exist on paper only. There's just one person calling the shots.

FYP. And yeah, it seems she's disappointed they haven't kissed the ring yet.

Very good question. The board does have several Engelstad family friends/business partners on it, but there are also several UND/Grand Forks connected persons. However, when seeking guidance on how to act on certain issues REA manager Hodgson only contacts the Engelstads for input. Why is this happening?

There is evidence McGarry is not acting in good faith. After her Foundation attorney, Foundation accountant, and REA manager Hodgson spent months negotiating a new deal with Kennedy, she shot it down and said case closed.

Although I dislike the way McGarry has gone about handling this issue, what's with the constant reference to "MISS McGarry"? Is it supposed to be a diss of some sort?

http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/editorials/4446494-engelstads-vs-kennedy-tricky-waltz Herald editorial. Relatively fair conclusions, though they failed to remind readers McGarry lied multiple times in her interview.

Speaking of Hodgson.... From the history scrolls http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/rea-general-manager-dont-expect-changes-arena

So why is the agreement renewed annually if there is nothing to be renegotiated? And the original agreement is what is sitting on his desk, not the framework of an agreement that was negotiated over 10 months with management and members of the REA and its board, which the whole REA Board turned around and rejected. I also think KEM needs to look into where the revenue from the REA comes from and take a look at what the REA charges UND directly for. Safe to say a large portion of the revenues are tied to UND athletics either directly or indirectly. Kris, you're absorbing all these costs with UND's money!! You personally have never contributed anything to REA, and the Engelstad Foundation is not making annual contributions to support the REA. It's not your money, it's money you are taking from UND that is being used to pay for everything.
