old school Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Four Big Sky Champions in one year. Three of those teams got their ring but one did not. The football team has yet get their rings for last year and there are no plans to get the boys one. What's up with this. These boys get the coaches a raise and they don't even get a ring.

F'n Hawks Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Did the players get an option to buy a ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 No. They were told " some of the players can't afford them so no option to buy individually ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max NCAA will allow a school to spend on a Conference Championship ring is $315 each....$415 for a National Championship ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So. Are we going to talk about it or are we going to try and get 35k together for these rings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great white Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I know it is late but these guys deserve it! There must be some money available somewhere? I mean we could have done without new painted helmets for a year for starters. It may not be a natty but to some who are finished now it was the pinnacle of their college career.

FSForever Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 You could pass a hat around at tailgating and/or inside the game and come up with 35K in a season. Fans would gladly contribute for this. Or collect half the $ and offer the rings to the players for half price if they want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really needs to happen for the kids as remeberance for the season down the road and how this class has raised the standard for the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Do they do a 50/50 raffle at the football games? Maybe do that with funds going towards the rings, may not cover it all but could help some and people might be willing to buy more than normal to help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfb Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We had to pay for the one on the left...the one on the right means a little more and was given to us. I say just go win one of those. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77iceman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So it "wasn't in the budget". It kind of reads like the athletic department didn't think they'd ever win Someone has to have a better plan than just an "oh well". Is it in the budget for this year? NO, seriously . . . is it?

Yes I agree 100% a national championship ring should be paid for by the NCAA or the university. It would be nice if conference rings could be paid for but hopefully that becomes a yearly thing for several sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
