UNDBIZ

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.

Apparently it's not just North Dakota simpletons..... http://www.businessinsider.com/why-the-billionaire-founder-of-sam-adams-flies-coach-2016-5?r=UK&IR=T

Hmm, that could put UND in a bit of a rough spot.

And in a unanimous decision, everybody who read this lost.

Wow ndsu even has a poster on the Idaho message board who adds little but UND insults? Their commitment to infecting the internet is great, I'll give them that.

Much deeper cuts coming for the state now. UND has a head start but likely needs to do a bit more, rest of the schools are going to be in catch-up mode. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/north-dakota-budgets-to-be-reduced-by-percent/article_be1fd2ea-55b8-56b9-bcc3-0918d681b381.html

ASU needs to build a 5-7,000 seat arena. They won't be able to fill a 15,000+ seat building, especially off-campus.

I did.

Someone else mentioned him in the 2016 recruiting thread. Appears he may be coming in this fall.

The MVFC has a female Commissioner, but she's also an Associate Commissioner for the MVC. Edit: Big East and C-USA have female Commissioners, just hired in last couple years though.

Per Schloss, UND commit Gavin Hain goes #1 in USHL draft. GFRR product Braden Costello goes at #2.

So what you're really saying is we should never go to the B1G.
