    UND caught unprepared and looking like fools again.  Infuriating. 

    No flipping way UND or even the SD or MT schools would ever be able to afford $17 million dollar entrance fee plus millions of dollar increase in budget every year. Good luck to NDSU for finding that cash every year, can’t wait to see the student fee increase get passed !!!!

    Burgum can give them the money 

    Private money is never going to run out??  Ag industry is down, oil is down, hopefully people have enough money in their bank accounts to bankroll NDSU’s move and continuous play in the FBS.

    news flash to all you bison fans but your school isn’t good enough to invite all your programs, ndsu is a one trick pony in a decimated league with members that don’t give off FBS vibes, good luck on this move. We will see you in a few years!

    8 figures upfront plus huge cost increases to move out of your recruiting area and play late night games in different time zones while you don't have a president and the state is looking at 10% cuts across the board due to declining oil prices. What could go wrong? :silly:

    Also, I'd be curious to see the AG's opinion on how working through a mediator somehow negates having to comply with open record requests. At least claim you can't disclose ongoing contract negotiations. 

    Not only are oil prices low but oil production is about to fall in the coming years. The whole state will then have to tighten their budgets. If NDSU thinks they are going to float their FBS dreams with private donations more power to them but good luck if that isn’t their plan.

    Does NDSU have 10+ Million dollars in their pocket they aren’t telling anyone about? 
     

     

    Yea they have all the money they want for football but when it comes to the rest of the programs and academics screw them!

  5. Who is paying the bills for the MWC? Entrance fee, higher staff pay,……. Is the mountain west going to pay them anything for media? NDSU will have to make up for the new millions of dollars now needed.

    The FargoDome also now becomes the biggest dump in the MWC

    Regardless of how you feel Danny handled his last departure from UND, getting him back has to be an upgrade over Fruechte. Has to be...right??

    UND needed a good QB coach bad! Danny fits exactly what we needed minus his past reputation on some critical calls when games were on the line. Overall upgrade from Issac

    Will Danny raid the cookie jar when he leaves again

    Hagen was shocked when his favorite OL coach left. He reached out to Danny. What is Danny supposed to do in that situation? Tell him no I can’t take you with?

    Shame they didn’t acknowledge your note. T&P

    Ira has lost a ton of credibility lately for all that shilling he’s been doing on twitter for a fraud of a football team called OSU……..

    I’m hearing that Danny was in Grand Forks over the new years.. and has been in constant communication with Schmidt.. it’s a two horse race Gordie v Danny. Also remember Danny recruited Jerry..

    If we don’t promote Gordie then someone in the bison football coaching tree will snipe him. That would devastate recruiting

    Probably a matter of time.  Tough sledding without a regional conference, especially if it’s all sports.  
     

    Just have to get our house in order and find an opportunity if others move.   Better yet if we find a way to do it with regional schools and freeze them out of that conference. 

    FolloW the moves of SDSU and the Montanas. If they are not moving then no reason to be alarmed.

    Seems to be some heavy heavy smoke about NDSU moving up and not just football. I mean at this point it’s the boy who cried wolf when it comes to this topic but idk feels a little different right now. 

    McFooly doesn’t think it’s going to happen right now. The rest of the rumors are coming from people without a clue. The mountain west doesn’t need to add a FCS team and doesn’t want to lower their media payout.

    Of course. ABC > ESPN > ESPN2 > ESPNU

    Any team for example the #’s will be twice as much on 2 > U. The feeling I get and others clearly is that the Fargo media pushes a narrative that when NDSU gets a big #, it’s because they are a national brand that people care about (false). But when they get 80K for a prime time game against SDSU, they sweep those under the rug.

    Exactly if a million people wanted to watch the bison they would regardless the channel. Can’t take credit for viewers both ways! Half their hillbilly fans don’t even have cable or streaming so I guess count them out!

    Do you think being on ABC might make a difference.

    The Fargo lapdogs never give the credit to the channel their games are on so why start now? They are a little slow to admit people are watching espn because it’s ESPN not because the boring bison are playing…….

    Agreed. I don’t necessarily feel the same way if they just transfer to transfer to a like school (Bruns and Schiller) but if you’re going somewhere that is in theory better football than good for you. 

    I hope they don’t low ball Rucker otherwise he might stay another year. Living proof that if you dominate at the FCS level you will get noticed and get the $$$$$ offers. That goes for the twins out of Missouri too, play sooner or right away and then see the big $$$$ come

    I’m not sure if it was the Indiana St game or the USD game.. but Jerry took some really big hits and hasn’t been the same since.  Romfo is doing a nice job managing the end of this game.  

    I think he has become interception shy, hasn’t been the same since that first multiple interception game

    This should be on the HC  - he let the OC call the same stupid ass game that he did at the beginning of the season - absolutely coaching malpractice and this cost us big time.  

    UND needs a QB coach, plus Eric will want his guy in the OC spot. If we don’t elevate Gordy he will be scalped by a former bison coach. Seems like the likely change coming.

    It also still has SDSU at 5 and I’m not really sure they should be in the playoffs at 7-5

    7 d1 wins with a valley schedule gets you into the tournament, the FCS is so watered down right now
