I agree with this, but to UND’s credit they are continuing to invest in highly visible assets on campus to make UND a viable option:

Education: New aviation operations building and STEM Complex (Phases I and II). The university was also recently awarded R1 status.

Sports: Proposed updates to the golf course, working with the city to expand entertainment and housing options. They made the difficult decision to cut men’s and women’s tennis. The only programs that really still need facility help are the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center and soccer.

They are also in the process of creating a new campus master plan for the next round of updates.

I believe the golf thing will be doa when it’s gets to county commission

If that’s the case, you can’t blame UND for not trying. I think they came up with a reasonable approach for the development, and the time is now with all the work already happening in that area. I’m not a taxpayer in Grand Forks, and I can respect those who vote against it. Trust me, I get the pros and cons of TIF/PILOT programs. In this case, the community gets another entertainment option. I live in the Cities, where everything seems focused on paying for housing with little to no return for the general public atleast in my community.

I agree, but can you create a G6 Football Only conference?  I don't think so.

no...that's why sioux volley was so adamant about the wac still having fbs status....i guess they (wac) didn't know there are /were whores out there willing to pay 18 milly to play in the carquest bowl....

There is no tax base on the golf course now so why stop the. Project, in 20 years it will be taxed 

if someone doesn’t like a shorter course don’t go there
