smokey the cat Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Why didn't the athletic department keep this stuff instead of throwing it into the salvage rigths? They could have raised some funds with them. Now maybe Berger should do the right thing and donate what he gets back to UND. Quote
Redneksioux Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Why would he do that? He bought them. Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Why would he do that? He bought them. Because it would be the right thing to do. Also if they have such value to auction under state surplus they should have been put up for bid to start with. Also Redneck if anyone else but myself had suggested this you would have been for it.

You are incorrect here. The company bought them...they have the right to do whatever they want with them. If und felt otherwise they shouldn't have sold them to begin with. Quote
sprig Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Any photos of these items available? Note the email for pictures link in the first post. Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Any photos of these items available? I think you can see several of them in the slideshow linked to this thread. http://forum.siouxsp...o-the-old-ralph Quote

They could have raised some funds with them. Now maybe Berger should do the right thing and donate what he gets back to UND. They weren't exactly hanging on the walls. They were hand-painted onto the walls. In other words, they were part of the structure, which is not to say that the U couldn't have cut them out before turning over the keys to the place. (I can't imagine their presence drove up the price for the demo bid.) Quote
Redneksioux Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 How do you know they bought them? Were you privay to the negotiations of the salvage rights? No. But are you saying these were not part of the package deal with the demo? I'm assuming since Berger is selling these publicly, that they were not stolen. Quote

I'm assuming since Berger is selling these publicly, that they were not stolen. Where did I ever say they were stolen? Where also did I say they were not part of the demo? What I am saying is that either UND should have saved them to sell. Or Berger could donate the proceeds to the athletic department. Quote
