Looks like the REA also schedule a concert the night of the Youngstown game.

What's an FPA?

Some new UAA renderings. Their Board of Regents is going to officially enter an MOU with the Seawolf Hockey Alliance tomorrow. Doesn't mean anything is going to get built, but it's another step in the right direction. Meeting May 21, 2025 - Board of Regents' Facilities and Land Management Committee Agenda Category Full Board Consent Agenda Subject Approval to sign and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and the Seawolf Hockey Alliance (SHA) Type Action Recommended Action MOTION: “The Facilities and Land Management Committee recommends that the Board of Regents grant authorization to the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) to sign and execute the MOU, as presented, between UAA and the Seawolf Hockey Alliance (SHA) to facilitate the development of formal agreements between the parties to pursue construction of a Division 1 competitive community ice complex on the Anchorage Campus (the “project”). This motion does not grant approval for a ground lease of land or overall project approval – any such actions will be subject to future Board approval. This motion is effective May 21, 2025.” Rational and Recommendation: During the February 20-21, 2025 Board of Regents (BOR) meeting the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) brought forward a request to negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Seawolf Hockey Alliance (SHA) to jointly pursue a new community ice complex. The board passed a motion for UAA to draft an MOU for presentation at the May 2025 BOR meeting. This action is the follow-on of that motion based upon UAA and SHA development and negotiation of the authorized draft MOU. This MOU is meant to serve as a non-binding, general framework for future agreements between the university and SHA in pursuit of a Division 1 competitive ice complex. The MOU positions SHA as the primary fundraiser for this effort, with UAA securing necessary project approvals and ensuring master plan and programmatic alignment. Both UAA and SHA will guide the technical aspects of the building design and fundraising plan. The MOU does not grant approval for any ground lease or overall project approval. The anticipated next steps following execution of this MOU is for UAA to prepare a request for Formal Project Approval (FPA) for consideration, prospectively at the September 2025 BOR meeting. In addition to FPA, UAA and SHA will develop a more detailed development agreement that will set specific terms on items such as fundraising, design considerations, timeline to execute the project, building/space naming plan, the terms of which will be shared with the BOR as part of the FPA approval. https://go.boarddocs.com/ak/alaska/Board.nsf/files/DGPMPZ5C471D/$file/20250521 - UAA-SHA MOU presentation.pdf

I don't think P3 projects should be counted as fundraising and the fundraising for the Pollard addition took forever, and it's way smaller than originally planned. Happy they got it done, and they were creative, but I strongly disagree that he deserves any credit for fundraising.

Anyone send an email and get a response? Curious what they say...

Where is their office? Doesn't UND already rent out the entire first floor? Curious if they are mixed in with the athletic department offices there?

UND hasen't opted in yet. There isn't a limit for schools that don't opt in.

For the next two years, the NCHC could allow a company like Roku to simulcast some games or show replays on its "fast" channel in conjunction with better promotion of the NCHC app, by also listing the hockey games in their sports "on now" section.

So, stealing? 80-85% of the NCHC's subscription revenue goes back to the schools (or UND in this case).

All of Notr Dames home games are on Peacock, no? That would still be a deal breaker unless the NCHC streaming deal were also through Peacock I'd think.

Watching this Mario Lamoureux interview and he made an interesting comment about Dane Jackson that was nice to hear. From 3 months ago, before the coaching search.

You dont know that he didnt.

"ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) President's Council has approved a new governance structure that recognizes the strong partnership between key multi-sport conferences and positions the league for continued success as the dominant conference in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS)." The presidents are in charge of moves like this, not Fenton.

It's so refreshing seeing you be optimistic!

Assuming Rhombus's 1883 Ale is no longer being sold, this could be a great opportunity for an amazing UND branded beer with much greater distribution. Very cool news though - this will be a well known destination similar to the Blue Moose, Parrots Cay, Toasted Frog, Red Pepper, etc.
