Goon Posted Tuesday at 06:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:22 PM Quote The report says South Dakota State spends $8.8 million a year on football. North Dakota State is next at $6.41 million and the rest of the league goes as follows in millions: North Dakota $6.02, Missouri State $5.24, Southern Illinois $5.21, Illinois State $4.8, Youngstown State $4.71, South Dakota $4.45, Murray State $4.03 and Northern Iowa $3.8. If UND is spending 6 million plus on football, there's no reason for mediocrity. There's more than enough money to support a successful program. I also heard rumblings that some of the big alumni might be getting ready to call for a change. If UND loses this weekend, I wonder if Bubba's seat gets hotter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is incredibly frustrating is that it is unacceptable that “big alumni” are just getting ready for a change now. Should have been communicated years ago (2017 or 2021).

Hopefully, they will push, and this isn't just talk. Some changes need to be made. I personally, like Bubba, he's a decent human being, but we're stuck in a rut. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, this is no indictment on his character as an individual at all, but, division 1 football is a results-driven business. UND is not competing with regional rivals and putting up the results necessary to compete; it’s clearly time for major change. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a good coach and double their current salary and/or UNDs football coaches. No pussyfooting around with hoping "this guy" will be good. "We don't have money to go FCS"....yet they always find a way. "NDSU doesn't have FBS money to pay a coach".....yet they'd find a way. UND can find a way to bring in the highest paid FCS coach if they really wanted too... Over 6 million UND football budget....double the coaches salary and it's only adds $250,000. Seems doable to me.

I hope they win for the sake of the seniors, and all players, and really, even Bubba. But Bubba shouldn't be coaching for his job this Saturday. He should be coaching the last game of his career regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share his feelings on this, but I must point out again that you need not sacrifice good GPA numbers and Community Service hours for wins. And vice-versa. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to football programs we cherry picked to support the narrative... modern society has fed my cynical nature well lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the same habits that make someone a successful athlete also carry over to academics (work ethic, discipline, attitude, commitment, fighting through adversity, time management). With a few regrettable exceptions, our student-athletes have generally done well in the classroom over the years (Karl Goehring is one example). And I don't see why that ever has to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
