Well, he's under contract until 2026 making at least $221K a year in Grand Forks, ND, and nearing retirement age. What motivation does he have?

you nailed it! With the right person as the helm, and all the new facilities (classrooms included), UND can be on top of the Dakotas.

Bubba's salary is $255K is 2024 and $265K in 2025. Maybe he could have barely made it by on $200K a year and spread out that extra $55K and $65K a bit..

Guessing there are two sides to every story. I am just really doubting KEM is hurting the entire athletic department more than she's helping it.

Not sure blaming the biggest donor in the school's history is the answer when there are so many football alumni out there that could be called on to form a new group to support football only

On a positive note, Matt Waletzko got into the game for the Cowboys last weekend. I'm sure it was a great feeling for him after all of the injuries. Nice work, Matt!

Quoting to bring this back to the front of the thread.

Guessing they do, too. My hope is that our lazy AD finds more money. Crutchley comes to mind as he was just at UND and has FBS experience.

I’m thinking U Mary….

Poach an NDSU position coach

Bill Chaves started March 1, 2018. - football has plateaued under Bubba and coaches pay hasn’t kept up with peers; went 9-2 in 2016 and won the Big Sky and zero playoff wins outside of spring season - hockey has missed the NCAA tournament multiple times. Not sure they ever missed the tourney under Faison. Won natty 2016 - mens basketball has been a middle of the pack or bottom feeder since it went to the ncaa tourney in 2016-17 season - womens basketball has been a bottom feeder since going 20-11 in 2016-17; that includes a 2 win season - volleyball, which used to be one of the most dominant sports on campus, has been a bottom feeder since going to the ncaa tourney in 2017. That includes a 1 win season Do I need to go into the other sports? How long of a leash does Chaves get??

Entire athletic department has been in shambles since Chaves was hired yet it’s always crickets from him

For those keeping track (probably missing some): Danny to SDSU Robbie Rouse to SDSU Steve Crutchley to NDSU Malcom Agnew to Sac St (now Stanford) Chaves needs to find some $ so UND can start poaching our rivals' and conference opponents' coaches back...

Sounds like they want to find a replacement fast. Pawlak?

Who?

Hilarious and not surprising not even a tweet from Izzo or Herder about Schuster going to Michigan St. I don’t think either have said a word about Schmidt coaching in tonight’s game either. Thought they were supposed to be big FCS advocates? Lol

So no new LBs for spring ball?

Good luck to Tommy and Jack wright at their next stops!

Bouncing back today would go a long way in erasing what happened the other night

Every program has gone backward or stagnant since he was hired. Even hockey has missed the tourney multiple times which never happened

I would too if I made a couple hundred thousand a year to never fire anyone. Guessing he’s coasting to retirement at this point

I have watched a ton of UND basketball in my life and I’m not sure i can remember a worse game

Seemed like an OK crowd considering Christmas break. Too bad most of them won’t come back the rest of the year. St Thomas plays team ball and und does not. Out coached by a mile

Two years in a row I haven’t been impressed by a single st Thomas player. They play team basketball through and through
