The Sicatoka Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 The WAC and ASUN (both FCS) are working together. All the recent conference realignments put them in need of each other for a while. https://wacsports.com/sports/fball/2021-22/releases/20220518f0frd5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to take those rankings with a few grains of salt since they are preliminary and based primarily on last years results but we are playing 6 ranked teams plus Nebraska. Bubba and the boys will have their work cut out for them and need to meet the challenge. Another factor is we play the number 1 and 2 teams in FCS. Bring it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be funny when a crappy team buys their players and becomes relevant. UND should absolutely be securing commitments from local business to pay key players in key recruiting battles. Just start at $10,000 to $20,000 range and see what happens. We have a few years to capitalize and gain an advantage. Once everyone is doing this we'll just be playing catch-up with no competitive advantage. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that there are only so many local businesses that could give in a small community, so the larger cities are going to be the ones that prosper from this.

Would UND Donors rather give $100,000 and be a small contributor to Phase II or pay 5 top recruits $20,000/each to see if we can win a National Title in the next few years?

I don't know about that. Jeremy Chinn was an all FCS offer type of guy wasn't he? That was pretty painful to lose him as a commit when he followed Marty back to So. Ill.

jdub27 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Bison Dan said: Are you guys so desperate that you want to buy players? Have you asked the same questions of the businesses in Fargo who have paid NIL money to NDSU football players? I'd be curious, under current rules, how it is it any different than scholarships or full cost of attendance? How is it any different than dumping 10's of millions into facilities to entice players to a University? Every single one of those is money being spent to "buy" players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
