UNDBIZ

There isn't any legitimate reason. The scoring system can be rigged and if you have someone chosen before the interviews, the interviews go pretty quick. The issue with the Bubba hiring process was Faison had no clue what he was doing and truly didn't have a candidate in mind for the job when he fired Muss.

Much of athletics funding is via student fees, ticket sales, and donations. Those sources aren't affected by state cuts.

Schafer wanted to change UND and the culture on campus. Given more time he would've been successful and, IMO, UND would be on its way to a being a better, more efficient university. In order to institute his change, Schafer attempted to scare the campus with reality and he did it very loudly. It seems Kennedy has returned the campus to what it was, will not institute necessary change, and will continue in the Kelley manner of sweeping issues under the rug.

Fairness of transfer rules talk moved to

I moved a bunch of the gopher drama stuff to A couple of the posts that started it all contained some stuff relating to recruiting so I left them here. Please keep on the topic of recruiting when responding to those posts.

I was under the impression coaches can't reach out to gauge interest from potential transfers; the transfer has to contact the coaches. Wrong?

Final record plays a role for me, but assuming he's within a game or 2 of .500 (typical Jones year): Semifinal loss or worse = can him Title game loss or better = 1 year extension

Bouncing puck or just caught sleeping?

You're a little low for at least one of them from what I've heard (pretty reliable source), but not by much.

He didn't accuse you of being off topic. But in answer to your question: On topic. Exclamation point is over the top for a win over a UMass team that isn't Lowell, but to each their own. Not on topic.

Tolna ND seems to be primarily bizun territory, with a few Sioux fans sprinkled in.

I'm assuming he's the one twice the size of everyone else.

Hoops has me convinced. Anything better than a #10 finish in the BSC will be a miracle this year. #ExtendJones

Yep, but 10s for me.

We already have 2 "burner" commits who are slotted to be on offense, likely at WR. I guess I don't see the recent DB commits as burners necessarily either, at least from the film. Look like solid FCS types.

Our phrase is better.

That was like an effortless slap to the face of the goalie, haha.

For actual big money TV deals, sure, the network will have some input on who to add and let leave a conference. The CBS deal with the NCHC is peanuts, in comparison. They would have little to no voice at the table because the threat of CBS leaving the NCHC isn't a very big stick (and nobody watches Miami and WMU games anyway).

Haha yep. All his highlights are at WR, so if he is indeed expected to play CB, it's pretty tough to evaluate anyway (other than the fact he appears athletic).

Welcome Kyle! Time for the OL now.

He was one of yours.

Absolutely. But these late game issues are becoming too common against us to not consider assigning any blame to our team.

Late game and post game ugly theatrics are becoming too common this year. At some point the UND team needs to look at itself and say "maybe it's me." Fights at end of ndsu game, Iowa refusing to shake hands, sdsu and usd refusing to schedule us. It may end up being more than our record pushing Jones out.
