This is where the ignorance just ooozes out of you

Who didn't know?...

Why is that being ignorant? Of course they made money off of it. Look at all the merchandise that has flown off the shelf with this. Nobody trademarks something like this and gives it away for free, use your head…

What percentage do you think she was able to negotiate with apparel companies that would make NODAK merchandise?

2-5%?

How much Nodak branded apparel has been produced and sold? Who is selling it beside The Ralph? Who is producing it?

We had the chance to vote that in, would have been unique, nostalgic, but the students didn't like it, the consultants knew if they put "fighting" in front of anything the students would go for it. Now students find it trendy and cool. Perhaps in the future we'll get a revote once everyone on campus is wearing NODAK clothing.

What has UND paid to any license holder?

Zero.

Who has paid anything to any license holder?

Nobody.

Nothing.

Zilch.

 

As stated by sleezeball....

... buried in his attempts at character assassination...

It's also a problem, from the perspective of the state of North Dakota, that UND began using a trademark and selling significant amounts of merchandise emblazoned with that trademark without first settling the question of ownership or licensing.

What does 0% of 0 equal ?

 

Go to Scheels and look at the tag for a NODAK sweater.

Start there.

UND says she has not received compensation. Regardless of intent, if no money exchanged hands there's nothing concrete to punish.

Port kinda maybe inferred this.. purposely vague btw. 

Anyone with half a brain can figure it out 

Rink Live reporter just made it clear.

 

Ports article loses everything if he actually told the whole truth....

but then he wouldn't get the chance try and throw college athletics in the mud

Glad it wasn't Schloss, he doesn't need to get involved.

Isn’t an important aspect of his job predicated on the relationship with the coaching staff?

No chance he didn't have wind of this a while ago. Isn't he a reporter/journalist? He seemed to be a misinformation spreading expert on everything Covid back in the day and had no problem with that.  Or does his relationship with BB and the hockey program trump his journalistic duties and just make him a lackey in the scenario?
