I, honestly, don't understand why he wouldn't speak to this issue when addressing the FB alumni if he had any plans of trying to fund it. I guess I have little respect for a guy who will look you straight in the eye and tell you how committed he and the school are to the FB program and then neglect to even mention this. The bolded part I do agree with and agree that it is a surprising. I just wanted to point out I know for a fact that since the vote to allow FCOA passed, there has been ongoing, very in-depth discussion regarding how to proceed in all sports. Its a significant commitment that will needed to funded annually. From the outside looking in, my opinion is that it may require a sport or two to be dropped. If that truly is the case, it will not be a move taken lightly and all options will be explored before that step is taken 2 Quote

When you post 8 times on a single page, my mouse needs a re-charge just to get to the bottom. No offense, but thank God for the "hide signature" feature.Yeah, I am planning on trimming it at some point. Probably this up-coming Labor Day weekend. Quote

It might have been feasible to have over 20 sports as a Division II school, but not now. Quote
WiSioux Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I don't know, maybe I am old school or just think free education is good enough. I will never donate money so we can pay the athletes. I will keep giving my money to the aerospace department for academic scholarships and perhaps to the athletic department for building improvements but paying athletes is beyond my comprehension. 1 Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Good luck getting more money from the Alumni when the University has already disregarded the real feedback on the nickname process...Kinda like telling someone to pound sand and the next minute asking for a donation. I wonder how that's gonna work????? At least Hockey will still be funded....wink, wink! 1 Quote

It doesn't make any sense to build a new, state-of-the-art Indoor Practice Facility and then tie one arm of our non-hockey coaches behind their backs when it comes to recruiting, which is the lifeblood of any collegiate sport.

Nodak78 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Well let's see how fast the rest of the Big Sky takes to jump on board. Quote
nodak651 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Glad to see! Everyone take back your hateful comments of Faison! Guessing the Engelstad Foundation will probably help out? 1 Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 It's amazing that UND could put that all together in only 6 days. Especially when we've been told that Faison and Kelley don't care about any athletics besides hockey. It's too bad that NDSU got such a huge head start with this, I'm sure that they will get a lot of recruits just because they made the announcement 6 days before UND. 4 Quote
nodak651 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Why does this feel like a terrible prank? Almost don't believe this, though. 1 Quote
UNDColorado Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Great news! Who in the Big Sky or MVFC is next? (I assume USD and SDSU will follow suit) Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Congrats to Faison and the entire UND administration on stepping up to the plate on this issue. This will make it possible for all our coaches to recruit on a level playing field.Congrats also to the benefactors that will make this possible. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 In all fairness, UND-1 may have scooped jdub by a couple hours in the BSC Commissioner Fullerton thread.... Quote
