The portal isn't this all you can eat buffet of quality players that you just pick and choose who you want. The good players we all want have to actually want to come here. And I don't think it's fair to put much of that on him at this point. He's battling several years of embarrassing futility that he had nothing to do with.

Having sex with my wife is like painting my house; sure I could do it myself but it’s just easier to pay someone else to do it for me.
HI OOOOOO
That reminds me, where’s that money you owe me?
HEY OOOOOO

This is like getting back together with your ex because the sex was good but you know it's not going to end well

A win is a win. Gain some confidence and positive momentum.

all the talk about Danny and whether or not he was making the calls reminded me of these old NFL commercials. a trip down memory lane...

Which begs the question: Does anyone under the age of 50 drink PBR?
I think this begs another question: Why would anyone over 50 drink it?

That's it, only about 90 teams worth of players sitting in the portal? What's the problem??
I think the NCAA Pro Football League should team up with an auction company like Steffes or Pifer’s and hold a timed online auction, where the teams can just bid on the 9000+ players that have put themselves up for sale.

Koi Perich from Gophers entering portal. Read earlier they were expecting he’d cost $1M+ and sounded like they’d pay it. Wonder what he’ll be getting somewhere else.
I'm sure a quality education is at the top of his list.

You don't want to give, that's up to you.
But if you aren't interested in giving, please don't ever come here and complain about our lack of success on the field.
I don't like what is happening any more than you. But it isn't going to change because we think the current system is "immoral" or "wrong".
Either we adapt to the climate as it is or we get left behind. There is no third option here.
Coming from you, the SiouxSports Complainer In Chief, this is pretty rich. If we only had a nickel for each time you said something was "unacceptable", we would be beating out Ohio State and Alabama for players.
As i said earlier, I'll continue to support in the ways i always have. If that's not enough for you personally, i don't really care.

Help me out here.
Where did I ask for your donation figure? I don’t care what it is cuz it’s none of my business. What was callous about my comment to what I understood was a question as to the difference in a donation to either UND or one of the NIL initiatives? I responded “The number of zeros in your donation?”. Maybe I’m wrong but I was thinking because NFL players are paid so much more a donation would need to be much larger (more zeros) than a check for our program.
That is only one sentence not a paragraph, much less 2.
What am I missing?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.

Not a personally directed comment. Just a generality: we may not like the current state of collegiate athletics, but you still have an opportunity to be generous and make a difference. Not doing so, regardless of your stance, puts UND at a competitive disadvantage.
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.

If you want to help the cause and contribute to the success of the program/organization, then it’s reasonable to feel compelled to be generous and contribute, rather than being callous towards it.
With that said, the lack of regulation is where I (and many others) have an issue. It distorts competitive equality. In the NFL, there is a salary cap, meaning if you did theoretically donate to the Vikings payroll to help out the Wilfs, they could still only use so much to pay the players. Right now, in college football, there is no salary cap. That lack of regulation is the priority problem right now, not the issue of student-athletes being rightfully payed some for their services/entertainment value.
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.

There is an argument? You will get no argument from me. The portal (unfettered free agency) has ruined college sports (especially at the mid-major level) speaking from a fan/viewing perspective.
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?
