Sioux94 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 2 hours ago, UND-FB-FAN said: The ring situation is minimal in priority but yet disappointing. The University of North Dakota's athletic department is mishandled to some degree. Yes, the budget crisis is troubling, but if funds were properly distributed, the football team would have championship rings. There are still hiccups in various corners of the athletic department, likely attributed to biased mainstays. The University of North Dakota still has work to do in terms of emulating more successful Division I athletic departments around the country. All in all, this situation is definitely not worth jumping off the ledge for. That much is fortunate. Did Eastern Washington and other FCS conference champions around the country get rings paid by their athletic departments? I have no idea, just asking whether or not it is the norm.

PATRIOT Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 There are several Tweets floating out there (didn't want to post it on a UND Forum out of respect) with EWU flaunting their 2016 BigSky Champ Rings...they look pretty nice...Although a ring with the new Fighting Hawk Logo would look nicer!!!!! Someone mentioned if you're playing for a ring then your priorities are skewed (or something like that). I Agree, in the voice of Herm Edwards, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!" The ring is just a symbol of achieving a level of success (like the BigSky Trophy). Anyway, I have no problem buying my "Little Johnny" a ring with an approved Fighting Hawk design if it is available. Maybe not a big deal now....looking back in a few years it could be an opportunity missed. As for funding, I understand UND is cash strapped (broke) and their Boosters already give plenty; they are not a money tree!! Besides, the NCAA would probably have a **it fit about it!!! Any designers wanna whip up some prototype design suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicofelipe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The Men's Hockey team got rings for their National Championship. The rings were not payed for by the athletic department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little confused why players, families, or donors did not have the option to at least pay for them.......Oh well, the back-to-back will be that much sweeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-1 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The road white tops/white pants/green helmets are the best combo they got. Looked sharp out at Utah with green lettering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am with you on that, it's our worst combo....and to wear them on the opener. Whatever happened to just wearing white pants with the green tops once and a while.
