    If NDSU goes to FBS that will mean going up from 63 scholarships now to 85 plus increase on title 9  to be equal when Larsen stated they were not going to increase scholarships after entering into NCAA settlement where is funding going to come from to jump to next level. The two forum sports mega minds think this slam dunk going to next level but who going pickup funding if all this goes south they already have funding issues yes they have big Endowment  presently but if they don’t have success they had in FCS money will be burned up pretty quickly. It just isn’t football it’s all other sports being in power conference we have seen failure on other large universities in US when things go bad. The question will state be willing pick up mess afterwards just because it worked with FCS doesn’t mean it will work again this jump requires enormous resources and costs of geographic is going to be huge in trade and finding teams that will want to come here.  They will also need SDSU to probably to follow along is that going to happen.

    I’m sure mcfooly has this all figured out for cash

    gf and fargo should(ve) split an airport west of hillsboro....high speed train on the west side of the interstate...there in 20....park at amtrak....flights everywhere!

    I suggested this a few years ago and fargonians shot back at me

    saying no one would want to drive the 35 miles to an airport

    what do large metro flyers have to do? Many are 60 miles or more away 

    keep the local airports for UND and private airplanes , same with hector

    makes too much sense

    Trolling?

    How is cheap flights in the backyard of GF trolling? 

    Multiple flights to different cities across the country without having to drive to Minneapolis when Hector finishes expanding.. makes my life in Grand Forks a lot better!

    ...of course GFK isn't going to attract new flights long term when another major airport is so close!

    Minot gets flights and only an hour and 15 minutes from Bismarck

    please expound on the bottom sentence....

    I would think the airport and UND aviation would have some clout when it comes to expanding flights , just through training programs

    Fargo airport just picked up a once daily flight to Atlanta, while GFK is still struggling to add a second daily destination or even an additional Delta flight. 

    Once the additional gates at Fargo are completed, I have no doubt a couple more destinations will be added not too far after (my bets are Houston, NYC, Seattle, or Washington) 

    It’s called population and having a good airport administrator

    with UND aviation it should not be a problem adding flights

    so our big portal get from oral roberts (i think it's him) shows up on und's x feed getting stripped by eli like it was nothing....good luck with that

  7. Just get it done as presented with housing and the golf driving range .

    if grand forks isn’t building more living spaces of all kinds it’s going to be left further behind than it is 

    build what people want, Fargo and Bismarck are building snowbird type housing now where you actually own the space and pay for it and the hoa fees monthly, then sell when you move on.

    build where there is actually infrastructure in place so the costs are lower , up not out .

  8. It’s so hard to get in and out of business along Washington, especially if you need to crosss traffic to get to the other side of the road 

    I always look for a place that’s easy to get in and out of

  9. Tax incentives are a bitch

    give tax incentives to a business, new people move in for the jobs, need new schools and infrastructure and where is the money to pay for those things 

     

  10. Who ever owns the mall in Minot is doing things right

     they add on to the mall, it looks nice and seems to be busy even in the times of Amazon 

    GF needs to tax the hell out of the mall here until it is sold , so much wasted space there, parking lot is huge 

    Maybe look at something beside retail there

    mixed use of apartments and retail

    With all due respect, until recently, there wasn't much to be positive about regarding UND athletics. But Jackson, Hutter and Schmidt have injected some positivity and enthusiasm to our fan base and this forum in general. The issue of payouts from FBS money games is an important one and does not fall under the category of "bitching".

    I'll give Chaves this, he's way better than Buning was at negotiating contracts.

    Like buning  allowing a $25000 buyout when Idaho state backed out of a football game

    I don't know how anyone would want to open a restaurant in GF. I was born and raised here but this town is so fickle when it comes to restaurants, even decent places come here to die. 

    I don’t care who owns the place as long as food is good, service is good and place is clean.

    i always liked the north side, everything isn’t made in a deep fryer, how are they doing in the new location?
