Better question: 
Why announce it the day after the Governor (an alumnus at that) calls for across-the-board budget cuts. Seems like a poke in the eye. Or a Cartman. 

Tact has never been a strong suit down there.

Is the first number zero as well?

100.00--4 zeros!

Why haven't we heard anything on the Men's Golf program?  It seems to be a topic nobody has information on, nor does the athletic department or anyone here at siouxsports even talk about.  It all seems very bizarre to me. 

To my understanding, the team needed to raise their own endowment, something along the lines of $4 million. How is that fundraising going? I haven't seen a FundMe page on it or anything! 

I'm curious if Chaves will want to take on the heat of some alumni following through with the cutting of golf if the money is not raised.  It was not his decision, so I understand that he has no blame here, but no AD wants to have cutting sports programs in their reputation.

If you haven't heard about any fundraising, that should probably tell you something.

I've wondered and asked the same questions but haven't heard anything either.

My bet unfortunately is it will go of the way of the dodo... unless maybe we can ask a pro golfer to donate some of his earnings

As for Chaves, while I do understand that no AD wants to have that on his record.  He has no choice but to go through with it for this reason:  If he decides to save Mens Golf without the endownment.... what's not to say baseball or swimming or women's hockey comes back with: HEY! You allowed them to be saved, can we get some reconsideration over here?

While it isn't his decision, it will be painted as such by pitchfork nation.  "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss", "He is not a UND guy", "Kennedy's Yes Man", etc. etc. etc.

Fundraising for golf is still ongoing. Sounds like they are optimistic but I haven't heard or seen any numbers that actually back that up. 

Funding for the mascot is coming from private funding.

Pretty sure those comments will come out, no matter what Chaves does.

I would find it difficult at best to lay that at Chaves feet.  

I dont associate him at all with the previous process, good or bad, even if he is the one who has to lead that horse behind the barn and put a bullet in the head to end it, I dont see that as a negative that can be straddled to his back.

No, I don't.  And if it is, it will only be because Native American faculty and staff were demanding it.

UND is being dismantled one Indian Feather at a time. When it’s done this way nobody thinks its a big deal.  It’s to late when there done.
