bang Posted October 17, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 17, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted October 17, 2017 Share 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.

I’ll take this move as addition by subtraction. Really though, getting rid of Faison will probably help with fund raising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of the guy that built the IPF will help raise money to complete the IPF?! He's the only guy to get sht done and build any type of new UND athletic building that wasn't donated by one guy in a gazillion years at UND!

Sure he isn't perfect, but I don't know an Athletic Director that hasn't made unpopular decisions. Because he wasn't one of us like Roger Thomas, he became the lightning rod. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Roger, Kupchella was the President when we decided not to move up with the XDSUs. The final decision was his, not Roger's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully73 Posted October 17, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with the facilities from WIH now being used by soccer, so is some of that extra. Women's sports at UND were not equally funded but they'll be much closer when that extra money is funneled their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
