UNDBIZ

I don't mean this to be condescending, but what is music therapy? Where does a music therapist work? What are they paid? Where does the money to pay a music therapist come from? I'd seriously like to know more about it, because at this point it sounds like witchcraft.

Those sound like some "feel good" majors there. Doesn't UND already have a bachelor of entrepreneurship?

Numbers I'd raise issue with include football ticket sales (50% drop seems ridiculous), non-scholarship athlete tuition (shouldn't really be part of the equation, but you're likely going to have more non-scholarship athletes paying tuition in FCS), sports administration, travel, scholarship (don't forget to make the matching reduction in ladies' scholarships when you drop to FCS), and the debt repayment amount. NMSU had a desire to tell a story a certain way, and they appear to have fudged the numbers to make sure it worked. Seems to me they may be underestimating how difficult FBS Indy could be. Ticket sales and donations may take a large hit due to a lack of home games. Guarantees (per game) may decrease because the other school knows you need to fill your schedule and don't have a lot of options (and you won't be providing them with a 1-0 record against X conference).

Lol yep. Likely cost that much in wages and paper.

They'll probably save money overall.

Best player posts have been moved:

Also, they either did an incredibly poor job of hanging the jersey for the picture, or the neck was designed for people with gargantuan heads.

Just curious, how are club teams financed at UND?

Poochigian was/is a philosophy professor. https://arts-sciences.und.edu/philosophy-religion/faculty/poochigian.cfm

Chinese knockoffs. The chin, nose, mouth, and just about everything else on that logo is off. And it's also just wrong, as Boeser never played when we were the Sioux.

Yeah. Associate ADs from Arizona State and Wyoming anyway. Not sure about the other 2 finalists. MSU is looking to make a big push on facilities. Brennan and Costello were both viewed as good fundraisers.

"Wicked wrister." That's about it for on the ice abilities.

Gfhockey has been quiet lately, so..... how many nattys he got?

After getting left at the altar by Utah's Kyle Brennan, Montana State has hired South Dakota State's Leon Costello as its new AD. http://www.montana.edu/news/16179/leon-costello-commits-to-montana-state-university-athletic-director-job

What will my excuse to travel to Tempe be?

If I'm a university he applies at in the future, I think twice before wasting time offering him a position.

Less underwhelming from this angle.

And being decent schools that UND wants to be associated with....

The ndsu foundation financed the building and ndsu paid the foundation for it through tuition and state $$. They got in hot water over the whole thing because it was supposed to be funded 100% with donations. They put his name on the building for donations I'm sure, but the donations didn't pay for the building.

I was under the impression ndsu's business building wasn't donated. The foundation just financed it.

I think that's 1 of 2 or 3 panels, but I'm not sure.

Nope. A bit sensitive this morning? I happened to read the article today and thought it was a good read on working with and sustaining an accepted corporate culture.
