Apparently i misunderstood your point when you asked for the number of zeroes in my donation. I wasn't expecting you or anyone to essentially say there is no longer any difference between professional and collegiate sports. So in that context, i thought you were asking how large my donations were. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I get what you're saying. But i also feel this current state of college athletics is doing a bang up job of ruining the idea of amateur collegiate sports. And if the plan is to make fans feel guilty about their teams' lack of success because they didn't give enough money to pay the athletes, well, I just think that will further alienate fans. I appreciate your passion for UND football, but not everyone is as committed as you are.

I would argue Ira asking for my donation dollar figure, just because i expressed an opinion, was the "callous" comment here. If he's going to inquire into my personal donations, I think all should be able to handle my truthful response. Your second paragraph mirrors what i originally said; that unregulated dollars being thrown around to individuals is a net negative for college sports in general.

Zero for paying individual athletes. Facilities, equipment, scholarships, academics, etc. are a completely different conversation. And I will continue to donate to those causes, but I don't believe in paying individual athletes in an unregulated free for all that will be end up being a net negative for college sports in general. So I won't. Also, i would sincerely like an answer to my original question. Thanks.

I agree. None of it makes any sense. Should i give the Wilfs donations to help pay Vikings player salaries? Could someone tell me what the difference is?

it would be a nice Christmas gift to the fans.

I believe AC/DC has a song that Weird Al could possibly parody to describe the transfer portal.

It would be wrong if you didn't.

Hopefully other schools are taking notice. Please, any and all, other schools, take notice.

And yet, you’re here….

I'd take Ted Kaczynski over Kaminski at this point.

UFO- Underperforming Fruechte Offense.

run it 4 times

I noticed that too. But I’m sure he meant it in a generic sense. Besides, if he was talking about that other team, wouldn’t he have said turds?

I heard they could get him real cheap….like a dollar an hour!
