I didn't know you know me. I'm not that old, but I'm that guy: 215 +/- 5 off the tee down the middle, driver (or 1 iron depending on wind). Scrambles have me drive first (so the others can load up and rip) and putt last (as I get a full read). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fit into the first point or second point. The third point is......... Most people who played Ray Richards were not single digit handicappers. They were people looking to enjoy a nice weather day with friends/family while chasing around a white ball whether they shot bogey or triple bogey golf.

jdub27 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 After listening to it and her description of the the relationship with the REA and UND (only about a 15 minute interview), I just can't support her position Quote ....they will have a completed asset they haven't paid for....there's money that's coming in every year for them, that is also an added gift....so he wanted to redo the agreement and was going back to ground zero for everything....why retool something that wasn't broken to begin with....when you receive a gift, you say thank you, you don't tell people how they weren't generous and how you want to redo it, that was an anomaly to me. UND pays significant funds as a usage fee, it isn't free.....or even close. In 2017, the REA got $2.4 million in ticket revenues through the usage agreement, expensed an additional $1.1 million to UND for utilities, maintenance staff, phone service and other expenses and also an additional $247K of reimbursement for managing the box office for UND. In return, UND used the REA and got $750K in allocated net income paid back to them. The REA foundation is set up to benefit UND athletics, the "extra" money (that is really just funds leftover after the REA pays expenses and takes their cut for future projects) has nowhere else to go but back to UND. And again, a large portion of that was UND's money to begin with. The usage agreement is set up to be reviewed annually and got a rubber stamp with no changes for over a decade. UND and the athletic department saw a significant cut in their budget, a pain the REA saw none of. Why wouldn't they try to renegotiate one of, if not the, largest line item expense adjusted when it is being paid to a supposed partner. Was it really an anomaly? The articles about how the donation to UNLV was handled seems to contradict that. While I doubt it changes anyone's mind one way or another....it is very interesting to hear the rationale for the feeling of entitlement that KEM feels comes with her family's donation (right, wrong or indifferent). She specifically touches on how donors these days deserve a say but it isn't micromanaging. She also flat out said that there won't be funds going to UND until Kennedy is gone, outside of support in scholarships. So don't look for the Engelstad's name anywhere on Phase II of the HPC.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring us to speed on the usage agreement. Isn't that a contract? KEM can make threats that they are cutting off all donations, but is that possible with the usage agreement in place? By ending all donations, wouldn't that make the current contract void and UND would then get ALL profits from the REA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her comments were future donations, in the terms of capital projects (think HPC Phase II), though I don't know if that includes REA facility upgrades or not. I'd guess since the REA isn't technically "UND's building" then it would be exempt. It would no effect with UND continuing to use the REA and existing agreements. However it is a really poor future indicator of the future of REA come 2030. The ideal scenario (in my mind) is to extend out the lease/turnover date because both parties are seeing significant benefits and it continues to allow the REA do things that UND can't do as freely since they operate as a public institution. However, if UND feels like they are continuing to get the short end, why would they continue the partnership under the current arrangements and work with someone who is continuously publicly criticizing you?

So you applaud when millionaire heiresses try to use their money and power to influence public institutions? Wow!! So those with the money have the power to control everything. there are countries in the world you can move too that are run like that. But I am guessing you wouldn't like that life too much. Also, lease provide examples of how Kennedy has "pissed the money away" in regards to alumni donations?
