If it gets too much….the AD should step in. Don’t you think he should have some oversight anyway with a new coach and his first year as HC? Couldn’t the AD take over some admin tasks and let him build his coaching staff and team? Sounds too simple to happen. I want Schmidt to succeed, like we we all do!

The AD should step in and give him more money for his staff so he can hire better coaches! We need to lay the best to get the best coaches

Not sure where to put this, but this auction for Alex's Lemonade Stand has a signed Belquist jersey and mini helmet.  Figured someone may be interested and its for a good cause.  

 

I think it’s a full size helmet. Only 2 days left to bid

The AD must have the money to give.

Didn’t they say on the 360 podcast that we have the second highest assistant coaches pool?

Yes.  The AD is still paying Bubba as well.

You think they’re really counting that in the coaching pool?

Not in the coaches pool but still limited money available.

I have a feeling more money will become available over the next couple years with the trajectory of the program currently.

Already increasing actually, and I agree, it will continue to do so. There are current and soon to be enacted opportunities for all “supporters” to contribute - why wait? 

The most frustrating area has been state appropriation and departmental allocation, especially when looking at how NDSU has been treated by Burgum, NDUS and the legislature, and now apparently Armstrong is an NDSU guy ….

Nonetheless, there are signifiant private opportunities for UND football and they are being and will be capitalized on. More opportunities to come, stay tuned …

What makes you think Armstrong is a NDSU guy? Didn’t he graduate from UND?

Kelly Armstrong is not an NDSU guy.  As Governor, he will need to support both, but Kelly is definitely a UND grad and UND guy.

There will be opportunities, hopefully very soon, to show if he indeed will support both athletic programs, although many would prefer he support his alma mater preferentially. As a reminder, it is difficult to just support both, as they do compete head-to-head. His predecessor was quite one-sided despite the outside sentiment of supporting both. We’ll see with 2025 Kelly … I’m hopeful, although the Lets. Go. Bison. look is a bad start.

Two other important pieces from latest 360 pod. They did seem confused over Covid year as they incorrectly stated that it was done. Kelly did make it sound that outside of Anderson, nobody else would be back from that class. IF true, disappointing and first “miss” of offseason. Didn’t have to be many, three or four key guys can make a difference. Ex: Smith back at RB. Also, he expects a lot of movement after Spring Ball. Which many here have been saying.

I guess supporting NDSU for big program games like NCAA title is acceptable. However, if it’s UND vs NDSU, I hope he would promote UND

When (not if) UND makes it to Frisco, we'll see how enthusiastic Armstrong is about it.

From the sounds of it Frisco may possibly never host again.

My point stands. If Armstrong is at an NDSU basketball home game while we are playing for an FCS title, it will be clear which side of his bread has butter on it.

If the Governor of the North Dakota can't root for UND, and UND only,we might as well go back to being a territory.

He needs votes in Fargo you know. He is the ONLY person in the State who has to publicly support both teams/ town/ schools.

If he gets as excited about great accomplishments by UND teams as he does NDSU teams, then he's being consistent and I won't have a problem with him.
