Sanford Health executives are distancing the health system from a reported child pornography investigation into T. Denny Sanford, the benefactor and billionaire businessman after which it is named, saying it is not part of the inquiry.

Yeah, this isnt good. 

Sanford has done so much for youth athletics in the upper midwest.

If he's guilty, to hell with him.

Ot will be interesting to see where the branding goes from here.

Could really suck for UND athletics trying to get a slice of that athletics donations pie.

I’m sure they could get it if they wanted it.  Not sure why they haven’t already but the Altru relationship is their preference.  

Probably not the best optics as this moves forward depending what’s found out.

That bandaid should have been ripped off over a decade ago. We’d probably be talking phase iii of HPC right now of we had.

Altru has chump change compared to Sanford!

Not disagreeing that Sanford has way more capability to donate compared to Altru, but hasn't UND received the same amount of money from Altru for athletic capital projects as NDSU has received from Sanford? I thought Altru donated $10M for the HPC and Sanford donated the same amount for the SHAC. I don't think Sanford has donated to any other NDSU athletic projects.

That being said, I think NDSU has benefited from a better sports medicine partnership with Sanford compared to UND and Altru, but as far as raw money, I think it's been equal to this point.

If these allegations about T. Denny are true, it'd be a good time to be in the signage business. A lot of them are going to be replaced.

Not even close.
