Endowment doesn’t mean a thing unless you use it for something good for the university 

all these schools,with massive endowments and now the government wants to forgive student loans, I want to see their grades and parents worth 

this makes absolutely no sense

when I donate I put on the check what I want it used for 

look at Williston state giving so many students free tuition and it’s from donations

Nattys definitely helped them surpass us and they blew us out of the wayer

 

why don’t und do a major campaign if they are so effectice

[The Sicatoka]

Because UND finished one about two years before NDSU started the one they just finished.

UND fans , alumni , and administration better get used to being the second fiddle in the state. They are beating us in sports, endowment, and in research status. Something better be done or get used to this!

[forksandspoons]

Anyone have a source to where the endowments are at?

The only one I’m concerned about is research status

I'll let @jdub27explain that. I believe he has about 40 million reasons or so.

That's just a ballpark of the difference between non-competitive state/local funding. Doesn't take into account the difference in institutional funding for research.

Put more plainly, because NDSU is the land grant, the state funds an exorbitant amount of their research funding in the form of non-competitive dollars. I'm not arguing that this isn't part of their mission, but it is an important caveat when discussing their research status. That (along with not having their med school on campus) is why Nebraska lost their AAU status a decade ago. Again, saying it is right or wrong, that is part of the deal being the land grand in an agricultural state. UND has roughly 50% more federally funded R&D expenditures than NDSU. And in NDSU's defense, since UND has the med school, that is going to be part of the deal as well.

  Quote

The university focuses heavily on agriculture research, a priority for a land grant institution. But in the eyes of the AAU, most agricultural research is not peer-reviewed, competitive research, so it is “not considered as highly,” AAU spokesman Barry Toiv said, compared with medical and economic research.

Well said.

With how important UND and it's graduates are to many aviation companies, is there a reason we don't see more athletic sponsorships, advertisements, or fundraising help from the aviation industry?  For example, Alaska Airlines paid for naming rights for UAA's Alaska Airlines Center.  

Why don't we see the athletic department building relationships with companies like Delta, American Airlines, Spirit, or defense companies with a local presence like Northrup Grumman or General Atomics? 

Anyone have any insight into whether any of these companies are or where significant donors to UND athletics?  With how many pilots UND puts out there, I feel like it would be beneficial for some of these companies to advertise more during UND sporting events or to Sponsor games, etc...

[gfhockey]

The business schools does a great job getting naming rights for each room

 

sande and the boys too worried about fufeng and kissing the Chinese off and losing that deal to focus on American compaies

Not nearly as much as they could/should -  a lot of growth is possible with improved focus and some hard work!

You know it’s bad when we have to do our own fundraising
