shep Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Watched Oliphant's HUDL. He literally throws down most of the victims in his clips and I keep thinking some ref is going to toss a flag for holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wealthy supporter can legally do this if I understand correctly. Sadly yes they can. They can even do this for our walk in’s so they technically won’t be without a scholarship.

Well they didn’t do much against NDSU even though we almost won that game. We actually scored points against SDSU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player must make 1 post a year to be eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Sue Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Could this be sponsor a player??? This could be a neat idea. Maybe if done properly…could be tax deductible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe other schools have created a 501(c)(3) I guess for "educational purposes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 CHAVES needs to get his head out of his you-know-what and start leading. Guy is a empty suit just coasting and doing the bare minimum... I've emailed him in the past about how embarrassingly outdated our athletics website is, which still includes Media Info about FSN for example, has tons of incorrect or outdated info in numerous areas of the drop down menus, and dead links from the main drop down menus... This here is another example... what the #! https://fightinghawks.com/sports/2011/5/3/205146325.aspx "Student-Athletes are permitted to provide autographs at fanfests, autograph nights, and special events deemed by the UND Athletic Department as well as during their personal time, but at no time can these autographs be used for monetary gain. Compensating student-athletes for their autograph or a photo will result in a NCAA violation that affects the student-athlete's eligibility and chance to compete for UND." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy is a empty suit just coasting and doing the bare minimum... Some of your criticisms are valid, and if you want to start with the AD for issues on the website, go for it. It's his department to run so I guess things roll uphill. But, just my opinion from what I've seen and know of things, you're overall sentiment is incredibly far from accurate. I'd be curious, did he take time to respond and if so, what was his response? Losing Mitch Wigness to the Alumni Foundation was a huge blow to the department and I doubt those shows have been anywhere close to filled. They could also use a couple extra employees to handle some of this stuff but there are budget limitations from keeping them from doing so.

Looking back, it looks like I sent the message through DM on Twitter, rather than email. I actually pm'd Wigness instead of Chaves, either because I thought Wigness was the best person to contact or because Chave's turned off his DM's. I complained about a bunch of this stuff this spring, and in fairness to Mitch, I sent him a direct link to my post on the same day I posted it. This is the link in my pm to him: https://t.co/mY0i1ZzbPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixing most of the issues don't take much time - literally just deleting links from the dropdown menu that are about old information or are to web pages that aren't maintained/updated. Takes like 30 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes like 30 seconds. Have you ever thought about an unpaid internship? Would look great on your resume!! What I do appreciate is that we have a passionate fan base, even though I don't always agree on sentiment or opinions. And I do absolutely agree that things can get better. I've send messages about similar issues I've come across as well. I've almost always had a positive response. While not great that some things need to be pointed out, it is at encouraging that things that are being brought to their attenion are addressed and in a timely manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the coaches support the AD’s position. Report offenses, follow whatever policy the school has on discipline, etc. Needs to be fair across the board , IMHO.

SkoHawks Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Zach Yon from Thompson committed to us. Don't think it's been mentioned. Probably a PWO LB if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Kelly Howe reports that Hunter Hansen from NSU, LB, is a walk on joining the team as is Grant Romfo from Langon via NDSU. Romfo is likely a WR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
