What was their bid amount?

1. Tickets are only $25. 2. Student tickets are $5 for playoff games, further reducing the average. 3. We'd be very hard pressed to get 8k to a game this weekend between Thanksgiving, the hockey series in Minneapolis, and expected inclement weather. 4. The Alerus charges UND to use the facility and takes most if not all the concessions and parking $ on top of that. The REA might take a cut of ticket sales for a playoff game as well. So I'm pretty sure the AD did make that presentation, just without the incorrect numbers.

That was a second round game, so it didn't take place over Thanksgiving weekend.

Don't force season ticket purchasers to buy a playoff ticket, just give the option. Heck, even make it clear that they can still purchase their normal seat for the playoff game after UND has already made it, but that the pre-purchase can help UND in its bid. Seems like a win/win to me, but you're probably right. Attendance Thanksgiving weekend is tough to gamble on. I know I wouldn't have made it, but probably would've bought a ticket as part of my season tickets anyway. REA handles season tickets. I say make them earn their 52%

Not sure. Found an article showing 4,648 season tickets in 2018 and 5,296 season tickets in 2017 though. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4472433-und-football-season-tickets-see-dip-following-three-win-2017-season

In the future, could UND "sell" tickets for a first round playoff game as part of the season ticket package and then refund the amount if we don't host a game (similar to what I believe is done with hockey tickets)? This could give UND a guaranteed available amount and make the bidding process less risky.....

Thanks to gfhockey for guaranteeing that $3.75. Just wasn't quite enough unfortunately

The written rules and the rules used in practice have some differences. Namely, only the bid amount matters in practice.

No, it doesn't.

D needs to step it up this game. Get pressure and contain the QB without selling out the DBs.

Maybe they offered to forgo their 52% for the playoff game

Feelings don't matter. The bid amount does. They bid more. That's the only reason they're hosting the game.

Could UND have been the last team in? Sure. In that scenario, UND is still far from the #24 seed thanks to the auto bids.

Any of that poop sticking to the wall yet?

Pretty sure he can play 1 more game and still redshirt.

Pretty sure that's against ncaa rules

Some dogs have earned a short leash. Nobody else seemed to miss you either.

They didn't really figure it out until about 6 or so games in this year. They were at like 5%. It's been picking up nicely lately though.

They did have to haul a guy out of 104 on a stretcher..... I think he was just wasted though.

You're conflating military service with being a career military academic admin. Clifford was a professor, dean, and vp at UND before becoming president. Could Armacost be great? Sure. But North Dakota's past and current experience with military academics doesn't bode well, imo.

Armacost would likely be a poor choice, IMO. Military admins typically don't know how to deal with faculty and students who disagree with them.

The east coasters believe Ohio is in the western US.

Tied at 14 with just over 5 minutes to the half.

14-7 three minutes into the second quarter
