Families being able to fly into somewhere easily so they can see their kids and no direct flights into Brookings, this is a huge deal for families. SF is over 200,000 people. Brookings about 20,000. Both SDSU and USD use SF as a recruiting tool... were 2 hrs away from a major metro area.....should we be selling our proximity to winnipeg to recruits drinking age is 18 iirc Quote

I know its an unpopular opinion, but UND's AD is one of the more highly respected one's at UND's level and in peer groups. There's a reason he's on multiple committees for different sports. However, there is no argument that the W&L's need to get back to following the rest of the positive things going on though. A lot of sports were left in some pretty bad spots and turning things around isn't always as simple as we all wish it was. Just out of curiosity, when's the last time UND has an AD that everyone universally loved? I can think of a issues going back quite a few decades. Faison? Buning? RT? Wanless? Gino? 3 Quote

I think under Thomas we had most success mens fb wbb hockey but success led to bad budgeting So buning was good at balancing budgets the d1 move we needed exposure and faison was a master at getting us most exposure. In fact our exposure has decreased since he left we used to be on national networks Quote

To your other point, the overwhelming large majority of people I have spoke with have had no issues talking and sharing opinions with the current AD. That includes donor events, sporting events, university functions and just in general. I think all stakeholders should be more than welcome to give their opinion, understanding that their voice is just one of thousands, but I'd also be curious the whole story on why you, or maybe just others you are speaking for, aren't getting the attention or responses you feel you deserve. 40 minutes ago, UND-FB-FAN said: This is why the current state of UND athletics is pathetic right now. Jason Eck made $94,000 his last year as OC at SDSU after 1 final and 1 semifinal appearance his first two years as OC. Lujan made $83,000 two years ago before he got a raise after he won a national championship. 1 1 Quote

Im quite surprised that an offensive or defensive coordinator position at a D1 school makes that little.. particularly in MVFC or Big Sky. Anyone konw an easy way to look at what the averages are across those conferences? Quote
