bang Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I doubt it’s anything about a single sport or it’s staff members. Sounds like it’s coming from the athletic department in general. If Gundy says we won’t be disappointed, I’d guess it’s an announcement of a big donor. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 This will be a significant move that will do nothing but help UND football and basketball. Enjoy everyone. Kennedy is far more committed to the right things than Kelley ever was. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I merged the 2 threads regarding this announcement (one in the football forum and one in the other sports forum) into one. For some reason @Oxbow6 it appears your last post disappeared into the interweb shadows (I see it still shows on your profile though). Sorry. Quote

Expand I agree Faison gets a bad rap. I think he has done great things at UND, and having the guts to start the NCHC is not something that many athletic directors would even consider. Faison has been great, but I'm ready to move on. I think he lacks true passion, vision, and creativity when dealing with non hockey sports at UND. Also credit to him for hpc, his coaching hires, and cutting women's hockey. 1 Quote

Gully73 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Has anyone actually seen the “savings” for cutting 2.9M, when they only needed $1.3M? Has the 2017-18 budget come out yet? That’s a lot of extra money that should be floating around. Just curious with all these “business and basic math” comments. 1 Quote

Siouxperman8 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I hope it is fairly benign or positive all the way around. We don't need any more turmoil for a while. Quote
