Their brand is ubiquitous. Next car dealer up. Maybe Corwin or Luther wants some market penetration in GF? 1 1

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Sounds much like when the team was changing names how the sky was falling for the athletic department. Auto sales are down big time now that people are working from home, its not like Rydell is in a recession proof industry. If it's true sponsors pull money and explicitly state this is why, make sure to mention them here so people can make informed decisions with their discretionary spending.

Expand This statement is not even accurate. Auto sales have been surprisingly strong during Covid and margins on trucks and other large vehicles have been as good as they have ever been.

Kab Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 If it’s true good for rydell would make me more inclined to buy from them. be it it BLM or me2 or any other woke group too many are afraid to express their feelings against these groups.’ you cans have congressional black caucus, miss black America,or miss native America but all hell would break lose if you put white in front of any of those 1 4 2

The outlook for the industry is not good. Expand I don't want to sound harsh, but you're still wrong. Things haven't been better in the almost ten years I've been in the industry, low interest rates or not. It may be a bit of a bubble that will ultimately pop, but for now, it doesn't matter what the offers are, it's hard to keep inventory in stock. This isn't the same story in other parts of the country, but around the Valley, life's good in the car industry. The factory offers are very strong, so if you're interested in a car, it's a great time to buy a new vehicle right now. Pre-owned car demand is also incredibly high with low inventory, so prices are a little higher than normal, but trade values also are as well which helps counter that. 4
gfhockey Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 I don’t think the rydell group cares about Money or a down fall. They are a cash funded organization

Sioux>Bison Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Biggest loser from this kneeling???? The football program, they can’t afford to take a hit from donors.

If you're concerned about the fiscal health of UND Athletics, you'd better direct your energy elsewhere: like Biden, Burgum, Armacost, Fauci, NCAA. If the fan lockout continues much longer, Rydell's sponsorships are chump change between the sofa cushions.
