NIL contributors can also be fans of a particular school who didn't go to school there. It doesn't have to be limited to just alums.

I don't think that group represents most of our fanbase. It's social media, it always attracts the craziest and nuttiest.

As opposed to the 3 ring circus that is SiouxSports?

There are a lot of season ticket holders on there that hate when us "normies" criticize the program. Those people represent the money that is being brought into the university, with their season ticket purchase and their donation to the athletic department. I don't consider them as fans who are looking out for the best interests in the University/Program. Those are the fans that go to the REA and destination games because it's the "in thing" to do and the same ones that worship the ground that "mama gaber" walks on.

So we're the normal ones?  Good to know.

Please tell me what college has a graduating class of 40K?

 

Southern New Hampshire University or DeVry would be my guess.   a quick google showed enrollment of over 80K at ASU....  so 40k could be a bit of embellishment, must be a DU fan.

I wouldn't insult Don Lucia with this. In his 24 years between CC and MN he only missed 6 NCAA tournaments.  This will be 4 in 9 years for Berry.

If there ever is a coaching replacement (and I do like Berry, but this last 9 yrs has been fairly uneventful, definitely not the power house we used to be) we need a global search. Think out side the box. Recruiting has to be at the forefront.

I think they will be fine. If you look at that stupid cesspool of a group on Facebook (All things Fighting Sioux), you will see that pretty much all of the people on there say the same thing and that they are okay with what's going on because us "negative" fans need to remember that they are just kids, and we can't always have a winning season.

As odd as these forums get, I'm sorry but those fbook groups are the biggest collection of mouth breathing losers I've ever encountered.

Anything for the Sioux, as long as it has a super cheep counterfeit Brien logo on it.

Those people make me consider that maybe just maybe some totalitarian regime that is in charge of the ability to procreate is exactly what's needed in society today, for the good of the human civilization.

Going to away games used to be fun but last couple I've been to, I was actually ashamed to be associated with them by wearing UND stuff. 

That fbook page IS the movie Idiocracy of college fan bases.

ITs just such an important and volatile time to be in this situation with a head coach.   If there is a change it has to be done so well that the program comes out of it with a young exciting hire that comes in with a wrecking ball of confidence that it can sway the these kids in the CHL NIL era of which I now dub thee.... the CHILNIL Era.

I don't even think bringing a Hak back would work, with this age of pampered coddled spoiledass kids almost nothing seems to motivate them other than confidence, swagger, and a sense that the NEED to be included in the "thing" 

UND has lost confidence and swagger in its culture unfortunately and I'm getting the sense amongst the kids, we aint the "thing" anymore.

And I know we didn't win it all those years but there was a heck of a lot of swagger when the Sioux showed up wheeling around their wheelbarrow full of frozen four nutsack.

In the 2000s…nobody wanted to play Nodak in the postseason. Nobody.

UND Hockey is behind when it comes to NIL plain and simple. They either need to beef up the collective or start recruiting like Hastings does and get some of the after thoughts/late bloomers. Gone are the days where kids will come here just for the facilities and "tradition". Part of the problem is just sheer numbers when it comes to the collective. UND has 110,000 living alumni, most BIG schools are graduating 40k/year. I do think it is time for a change, but I also think Brad and his staff are doing the best they can under the circumstances.

 

How much are the blue blood hockey programs offering in NIL money to top recruits. I know that Mike McMahon once tweeted that 1st and 2nd round NHL prospects were earning 100 to 120k a year but that has been widely discredited (I think).

 

If it is true though, can UND athletics afford it???

We are overthinking this.

Berry just isn't head coach material.

That's the problem.

That's why a change needs to be made.
