So, is this considered a collective?  In this case, it is specifically for football, run by UND football alumni?  And the contributors are solely UND football alumni, or can the general public donate as well?

Idk what the plan is with this but when I first saw it, I assumed it would be more similar to whatever the Jacks have that got them those white helmets. A player led organization. Would seem odd to compete with the 1883 imo

The collective 1883 is for all sports.  I would guess the NDFAN would be solely for football.  I'm just guessing but I would understand.

IMO a lot of 1883 will be going to hockey (since it can be designated), so this is a good idea. Lots of football alumni out there that hopefully will step up.

Hopefully football alumni and fans step up to support the collective.  It's the only way to keep AWESOME football players at fighting hawks nation.

We aren't on this list. Hoping this is the last time we are not on this list going forward. Our schedule is tough this year with going to K State snd Montana on the road early on. Would definitely turn some heads if we can pull off an upset at Montana. 

 

Tough competition early in the season is not too bad. K-State and Montana will be formidable opponents. Go Sioux

1883 has operating costs so the more sports and contributions the better to spread those costs out.  An individual can contribute to a general fund or sport specific up to 2 sports.(my understanding at the time)  You also get some store credit for some 1883 Swag that is sharp!!

Two things regarding the 1883 collective that need to be addressed:

First...It is an absolute administrative embarrassment and disgrace that UND is charging the 1883 Collective 25k a year to basically raise money for UND athletics only because they are doing it in the name of the University. 

Armacost, Chaves and whomever else need to be held accountable for this. It's unnecessary overhead that needs to be resolved to be more financially efficient. 

If anybody wants to b*tch about something important....this is it. Calls and emails. This is unacceptable.

Second ...rent for the 1883 collective unit in Memorial Village. $1600 a month. Do the math. That's money that could be spent on athletes. Hoping the building owners can help out with that and do better for the cause.

This sucks!!  I was told this directly, 1st hand.  That could be a starting DL for the football team!!

UND can do better!!  If there is a legal issue that needs compensation, $1.00 lifetime use is perfect and they can hang that dollar in a frame on a wall.

No kidding. $25K and the $1,600 a month rent would go a long way toward getting some impact players to UND. Can’t wait to see the canned response from admin on this

On the rent.......is this privately owned?  A discount would be nice but it's a lot to ask individuals/partners to give up $19,200/year in revenue when the reality is they are likely operating near break-even given the high cost of construction the past 3-4 years.

Why would she want all this money to go to UND from the Collective? I think she is contributing to it. Why would she want her money going to anyone but the athletes?
