Impressive regardless and I do believe the individual donors number. My question, which I guess will be answered next year is regarding the ‘’Matches”, when they hit individual donors. For example 701 individuals donate, unlocks $5 million. Big $. $2.5 million when they had 600 individuals. Big $.   $10 million in matches. Was that # completely separate from $ they raised originally back in late 2025/ early 2026? Or was most of the matches money they secured to make the move originally?

They did send out emails, seemed to be fairly active on social media as well leading up to it. Better than previous years. Getting individuals / companies to match seems to be a good idea, maybe next year?

My big idea would be, watch what NDSU does and copy it. Even if they copy it and do it worse, would still be better than whatever they are doing now.

Until UND gets actual leaders, back to trying to poke holes in NDSU's accomplishments. Maybe it's not as impressive as it looks?

No.
 

No vision, effort or high-level expectations other than from a couple key individuals* in the athletic department.
 

*Lose those individuals and we’re back to square zero.
